SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on producing 1000 kNm of torque at an output RPM of 30 using motors and gear systems. A 150 kVA three-phase motor operating at 960 RPM is proposed, utilizing a double-stage gear system with a first stage reducing RPM by 10:1 and a second stage reducing by 3:1. The need for a flywheel depends on load variability, and alternatives such as hydraulic motors are suggested for weight reduction and efficiency. Calculating the required power output is essential for determining motor specifications.
