    Why Does My Thread Drive Torque Seem Excessive Under Load?

    I am trying to do some preliminary calculations for a basic lifting device but some of my numbers seem to be out-of-wack. Could some kind soul take a look if you have a minute spare? Motor Data (max efficiency) RPM: 8311 = 870 radians/sec Torque: 9.213N-cm = 0.09213N-m Output Power = 870...

    Linear RPM vs Time = ? Horsepower

    I have calculated up to 8000 rpm using the same math as above, and noticed the same problem I've had all along. 1000rpm = 28.62hp 2000rpm = 57.24 3000rpm = 85.87 4000rpm = 114.49 5000rpm = 143.12 6000rpm = 171.74 7000rpm = 200.36 8000rpm = 228.99 I know that in reallife this vehicle...

    Linear RPM vs Time = ? Horsepower

    Pervect - that is basically what I have been trying to do, but I always get the wrong results. I ignored the drag factor, but my understand is that I will get a lower energy and lower power value (which is fine for now) but I always seems to get a higher value than expected. at 1 sec, the car...

    Linear RPM vs Time = ? Horsepower

    Thanks berkeman - I have searched the forum and read that post before but unfortunately it did help me. I managed to plot wind resistance on a graph to see its effect, which was wonderful - but I'm still not sure how I would include the figures into a horsepower calculation.

    Linear RPM vs Time = ? Horsepower

    Opps - also, tyre circumference is 179cm

    Linear RPM vs Time = ? Horsepower

    Linear RPM vs Time = ?? Horsepower I have graphed some sampled data taken from a car on a level road, traveling its rpm range (from 2000rpm -> 8000rpm) under full acceleration, and the graph shows an almost linear change in rpm over time. For the sake of example, let us assume RPM = time...

    Calculating Horsepower/Torque from Acceleration/Mass

    I was given the vehicle weight of 1180kg, and the time-sampled data, but nothing else.

    Calculating Horsepower/Torque from Acceleration/Mass

    The question is: Plot a graph showing horsepower at given time intervals based on sampled data.There are actually 10 samples, but I have only included 3 for simplicity. The original data only included Time, Kilometers/Hour and RPM (although I don't think RPM is needed for this part of the...

    Calculating Horsepower/Torque from Acceleration/Mass

    Apologies in advance if this is not the correct forum. This is (what seems to me) an old question people have been playing with for a while, but I don't seem to be able to figure out where I have gone wrong. Could someone point out the mistake in my math from the following example...
