Find the Perfect Electric Motor for Your Vertical Wind Tunnel

AI Thread Summary
To achieve a wind speed of 190 kph with a 2.00 meter diameter propeller in an outdoor aerodynamics wind tunnel, selecting the right electric motor is crucial. The discussion highlights the need to consider the type and power of the motor that can effectively match these specifications. Additionally, the design of the wind tunnel, whether recirculating or linear, impacts motor selection. Understanding the desired Reynolds numbers is also essential for optimizing performance. Proper motor selection will ensure efficient operation of the wind tunnel setup.

hello. i need to match electric motor to propeller/fan to my outdoor aeroduim wind tunnel.
my requirements goal is to get a 2.00 meter diameter propeller with 190kh wind speed .
which electric motor (type,power) would you think will properly match for this requirements ?

thank you.

That's on the largish size for a livingroom windtunnel. Do you plan on a recirculating or a linear design? What Reynolds numbers do you wish to obtain?

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
