Thank you for your reply CWatters, it's the most helpful I've received from anywhere till now. I haven't worked with carbon fiber so far. I'm very unsure what it's going to be like and I have very little information about it at the moment. But I'm very excited to see how this goes about.
I was...
Hello!
I've just received information that there may be a requirement to cut some carbon fiber fabric on the water jet machine in our lab. The party that wants the cutting done, requires an option that's quicker than using shears to cut it.
That's pretty much all the information I have at the...
A friend and I are working on this idea which is fairly common, but I'm having trouble starting out. The idea is that of a compressed air engine. Where we take a normal, small capacity engine and modify it such that only compressed air, stored in tanks is sufficient to move the piston.
Now...
Ok so here's what I've done so far,
The cap on top speed for the vehicle is 60km/hr.
I assumed the max speed that we will reach to be40km/hr
Following that I used the relationship
V (km/hr) = pi * D * N * 60
Where V is velocity of the wheels, D is diameter which is 21in or .5334m and N is rpm...
Torque at wheels is calculated by multiplying the engine torque by gear ratio or is it dividing? And how will I get max acceleration once I do have torque at the wheels?
And finally, how would I calculate the acceleration and torque as a function of engine speed?
Thanks in advance!
"Diameter(inches)= Rim+ 2(tirecross section * Aspect Ratio/100)/25.4"
Could some explain this equation please? How does the tire cross section come into play and what is aspect ratio in this case? And 25.4?
Thanks!
Ok so I'm working on a preliminary report for a BAJA vehicle that my team and I are building and I need to find out stuff like torque at wheels, traction force and acceleration.
All the data that I have now is this:
Max. torque - 19Nm @ 3000rpm
Max. Power - 11bhm @ 4400rpm
How would I...
