SUMMARY

This discussion centers on the conversion of hydraulic pressure into kinetic energy, specifically through a conceptual design involving a 100 kg flywheel and hydraulic pistons. The proposed mechanism utilizes high-pressure, low-volume force to generate energy, with a focus on minimizing friction and maximizing efficiency. Key calculations include energy equations based on pressure and volume displacement, as well as considerations for the efficiency of combustion in the piston chamber. The design aims to create a low-maintenance generator with minimal wear on components.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of hydraulic systems and pressure dynamics
  • Familiarity with rotational mechanics and flywheel dynamics
  • Basic knowledge of energy equations, specifically E = pΔV
  • Awareness of combustion efficiency in mechanical systems
NEXT STEPS

I think this thread needs to go to the sea of dead threads :oops: I have learned a few things. THANKS
That's probably a good way to tie off the thread. :smile:
