AI Thread Summary
To increase speed in a wind turbine application, a helical gearbox with a 1:15 ratio is suggested to boost output from 100 RPM to 1500 RPM. Worm gearboxes are not suitable for speed increase, as they primarily reduce speed. The choice of gearbox depends on the specific application and desired outcomes. Participants in the discussion emphasize the importance of matching the gearbox with the generator's optimal rotational speed. Selecting the right gearbox type is crucial for achieving efficient performance in wind turbine systems.

hello

i want buy gearbox for increase the speed
i know that worm gearbox cannot use for increase the speed..just for reduce speed

what is the type of gearbox can i use for increasing the speed

there is gearbox types
- Bevel Gearbox
- Helical Gearbox
- Planetary Gearbox
- Sequential Gearbox
- Spiral Bevel Gearbox
- Worm Reduction Gearbox

please help me

Please, please please edit your post and make the text a sensible size.

Also it completely depends on application, what are you trying to achieve with this new gearbox?
 
hi xxChrisxx
i will made wind turbine and i will get about 100 rpm with high torque
i want buy gearbox 1:15 and use it to increase the speed from 100rpm to 1500 rpm.. so i will connect the Output shaft to wind turbine and Input shaft with the alternator

i want buy Series Helical gearbox

what do you think?

what do you think?

what kind of generator are you using? and what is the optimum rotational speed that it operates at

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...
I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...
