Hi
I am looking to purchase a Low RPM, Very efficient DC motor/Generator between 200w and 1kw for a low friction fly wheel project which involves powering up a 10kg flywheel to about 50 RPM over say 30 seconds then recovering the energy back through the motor/Generator with minimal losses...
Hi
I'm trying to connect two fly wheels together which are elevated on a bar and about 12 feet apart, the one wheel is driven by a motor and I would like the second wheel to be synchronised in rotation with it.
Belts and/or chains are the obvious way forward but would it be difficult to connect...
Thank you
So two equal masses traveling over a pulley is the same as two equal masses traveling in a straight line if all of the conditions are the same?
My meaning was 100 J per second for 2 seconds = total energy used 200w (1 Watt is the power of a Joule of energy per second ) however this was only an example and not relevant to my questions outcome
They come to rest naturally because of the forces around them such as gravity and air resistance, they are not in a vacuum or perpetual motion. The 2m stopping time is just so that a comparison can be made between the 2 scenarios it could just as easily be a 2 km stopping distance providing...
I guess I have wandered between force and energy without thinking so to try and clarify let's stick with energy required. So let's say that 100 joules of energy is applied to moving mass A in both scenarios in the direction of the arrows for 2 seconds (= 200 watts) then as a result of this let's...
Sorry but I don't understand what you are saying, Maybe I should say that the initial force is applied to Mass A in both diagrams and mass B follows because it is connected by a belt.
Here there are two scenarios for comparison.
Scenario 1: We move two connected masses which are Constantly 3 metres apart on a friction free surface using the same force and acceleration in a straight line.
Scenario 2: We move two connected masses which are Constantly 3 metres apart over an...
