The discussion revolves around the concept of torque amplification and whether it can lead to over unity machines when coupled between a motor and generator. Participants explore the implications of torque amplification without a change in input speed and the relationship between torque, power, and RPM.
Participants express disagreement regarding the implications of torque amplification and its relationship to over unity machines. There is no consensus on whether torque amplification can lead to over unity outcomes.
The discussion includes assumptions about the definitions of torque amplification and its operational mechanics, which remain unresolved. The relationship between power, torque, and RPM is also a point of contention.
Thank you for your reply. What you have said is true for torque multiplication using speed reduction gear box. In case of torque amplification, torque alone is amplified without change in speed. Please look for mechanical torque amplifier in your search, you would understand my query. Thank you.billy_joule said:No, that is not correct,
P=T*theta
If power is constant then torque decreases as RPM increases.
Pay attention next time you ride a bike and change gears.
