Okay, so now i want to study one factor related to paddles in detail: no. of paddles, or shape of paddles or rpm of paddles. Which factor do you think i should study, which will allow me to give detailed argument and discussion on physics concepts
No actually it is not easy as it looks. After doing a lot of googling, i got the required equation on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_area_moments_of_inertia
the equation is: I = bh^3/3
Can anyone give a link to the complete derivation of this formula or provide it themselve.

Just trying to study the relationship between angular momentum and the linear momentum for the paddle wheel. Will all the angular momentum be transferred to linear momentum, can there be any equation linking it (specific ref. to the paddle wheel)
''What paddle shapes have you found so far in your research? What have you found so far about the difference in efficiency between a paddle wheel and a propeller?''
Actually my only aim is investigating factors affecting design of paddle wheel (to make it efficient) I will conduct all the...
I'm a student undertaking a challenging physics project. My project is based on the Factors affecting design of an efficient paddle wheel.
Until now the factors i could think about are:
-Number of paddles
-Size and shape of paddles
-Rotation speed of paddles
Since my object of study is...
