Hi everybody,
I'm building a board game right now.
The game consists of a train of gears that I would like to drive with an electric motor.
The gear train can be many different sizes (# of gears) and patterns (size of gears).
What I would like to do with the motor is measure the load on the motor (when driving the gear train) relative to the max power output of the motor or maybe the free-spinning power output.
Basically I want to measure the efficiency of the gear train and compare that to theoretical values of the efficiency.
End all, I would like the measurement of the efficiency to be done at the board with a display showing the efficiency measured.
a little direction would be great,
thanks everybody
