Calculating Motor Requirements for Gearbox Design

AI Thread Summary
Calculating motor requirements for a gearbox design involves understanding the specific load and torque needed for the application. The user is working on an actual machinery project, where a motor rotates a gear connected to a shaft with a weight attached. To provide accurate assistance, more detailed specifications about the load, gear ratios, and desired speed are necessary. The discussion emphasizes the importance of these parameters in determining the appropriate motor size and power. Clear communication of the project's requirements will facilitate better guidance in the design process.

You're going to need to provide a great deal more of your required specifications.

What have you done so far in trying to solve this?

Is this homework?

Is this theoretical, or are you working on an actual piece of machinery?
 
its pretty much an actual machinery. as you can see in the attachment the cylinder box has a shaft in the center screwed to the top part of the machine in order to rotate everything except the gear box.

thank you

Thread 'A practical way to vaporize fuel for high MPG?'

Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'

Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
