Actually I am just trying to measure force. Did I confuse torque with force? Is torque only the moment of energy needed to start the cable rotation and force the consistent amount of energy to keep it rotating under a load? If so I am sorry for the confusion.
Am I not reverse engineering the force created by the popcorn in the stirrer kettle? In my mind I see the motor shaft movement as an indicator of the increased force required by the stirrer moving through the mass of the popcorn in the kettle. (See attached drawing to this reply) I am just...
Sorry about the quotes sir. I was just placing emphasis on the word groupings.
My main goal in measuring the test machine's drive under its maximum load is to hopefully construct a test jig for exercising newly constructed cables before shipping them out to restorers. I want to place that...
For several years I have restored antique movie theater popcorn machines from the 1940's. I design and manufacture obsolete parts for these machines for restorers across the nation. I am currently prototyping a reproduction "popcorn stirrer flexible drive cable" and am in the process of building...
