    Hey Project
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around selecting a brake caliper for a SAE Baja project with specific tire and disc dimensions. Key factors include the maximum friction force between the tires and various surfaces, as well as the braking regime, which influences heat dissipation needs. The choice between single or double cylinder calipers depends on these parameters and the overall braking requirements. Detailed calculations and additional specifications are necessary for an informed decision. Understanding these engineering principles is crucial for optimal brake performance.

We are having the tires with internal dia of 12inches and disc of 190mm
Can someone suggest me the caliper we can use?

2. Should we use single cylinder or double cylinder calliper??

Welcome to PF abhinav3071,

Engineering is a discipline not a science, also know as a collection of good practices which are calculated up to point. (as much as you care about).

You give too little detail for any calculation, and the setup is largely unknown for anyone that sees this thread.

For brakes it is important to know the maximum friction force of the tire with the tarmac, sand, gravel etc. As that is the maximum breaking force and the calipers will be chosen according to that. Also braking regime, fast/often, slow/rare determines how much heat it needs to dissipate. A engineer will tell you from these details and lots more (there are many neccesary) which of the single/double cylinder setups are more suited for your brakes.
 
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...
