Torque and power calculation for a crank wheel

AI Thread Summary
Calculating torque and power for a crank wheel involves using the gear ratio, weight, and wheel diameter. The energy required to lift a 10kg weight is determined by the formula mgh, where m is the mass, g is gravitational acceleration, and h is the height related to the wheel's diameter. The gearing does not affect the energy calculation, and any potential energy recovery will be less due to friction losses. Discussions about free energy generation are not supported, as they violate forum guidelines. The thread has been closed due to the focus on a banned topic.

How to calculate torque and power at 'drive wheel' with following inputs and also requirement shown in below picture-
a. Gear ratio, 1: 6
b. Attached 10Kg weight for bigger wheel to make as a crank wheel and diameter is 30inch.
c. Bigger wheel: Consider 180 degree is freely rotates(due to 10kg attached) and remaining 180 degree only we need to drive.
d. if any thing missed, please consider by your self. so i will co-relate later.
Please provide me formulas for the above request?( my background is electrical engineering, so needs help)

Thanks in Advance for your support.

This sounds like homework or a school assignment. Is it?
 
Yes, it's homework but trying for something extra energy do we get or not?, If we see in youtube there are lots of flyweel free electricity generation but not able to believe those so am trying mathematically is really possible or not.
Thanks for your thought.
 
Not. Free energy isn't possible. It's such a waste of time that it's a banned topic on this forum.
 
The energy require to raise the 10kg will be =mgh where m=10kg, g=9.81m/s/s and h is the diameter of the wheel.

You might get that energy back as the weight returns to the bottom, less losses due to friction etc.

The gearing has no effect on this.

@CWatters is correct. Free energy is a forbidden topic on PF. Thread closed.

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...
