yes this is for a project I am working on. According to my knowledge tires outside should be better since the frontal area reduces as compared to when the tires are placed inside. As the area increases the opposition also increases. But also the tires being covered reduces drag over the tires...

What helps reduce aerodynamic drag better wheels inside or outside in reference to the above designs? please help.

will the engine be able to suffice the input needs of such high rating alternators? according to some research i have done the input requirements of the alternator varies around 1kw and my engine being 1.2 kw will be a problem ?Also i attain this max torque and hp at a speed range of 5500-7500...

rewiring an alternator to remove the regulator will be a tedious task ...will it be better if i use a motor instead ? couple the motor and the engine connect two wires for output will be sufficient. in case of an alternator i will also require a battery.

i am working with a Honda Gx-35 engine (1.2kw and 1.9 N-m) for a project and wish to make a dynamometer to measure its torque and hp.Was wondering whether an electric motor or an alternator should suffice my needs? wont the voltage regulator in the alternator keep my o/p constant? please help

hey jack so does that mean the friction power varies with rpm?
