What is Rpm: Definition and 248 Discussions

I'm looking into buying an E34 530i with a smaller 3 liter V8 compared the the 540 4.4 liter V8. A lot of people online say buying a 530 is pointless when you can get the same car with more displacement and more power. I think that's ridiculous since displacement is only 1 of many ways to make...

I have a cart which is moved by a wench. One of the wheels will have an alternator used for wind applications at 1032 RPM (after multiplier). At 1032 RPM the alternator produces 13A 90V. I also have a 1:5 multiplier installed. I am thinking of buying two VMAX SLR175 Solar Battery with 175 AH, in...

Hi guys, I am working on a school project. I have an inclined cart mounted on rails moved by a winch. I would like to install an alternator on one of the cart axis, so I can charge a 12V car battery - 20Ah. The wheel turns at 12 RPM. At that speed the alternator will not work, so I am also...

I am facing this RPM problem with my single-cylinder engine(Duke's) that I have used in my project.. Even though the ECU is programmed to allow RPM upto 12,000 revs but still engine can only reach 6,000 when the clutch is engaged...it can go near to 12,000 only while the clutch is disengaged...

Hello guys I'm looking for a motor for my arrow saw project. I would like to use it to cut carbon arrows. Found one motor in the shop that is pretty small and will work perfectly with my jig. But it's rpm's are only 1650 and I need at least 8000 RPM. Is it possible to increase the motor RPM's...

To begin I'll just give a summary of what I'm looking to do, and then explain further for those who are looking for more information. The goal of the engine is having a forced induction motor capable of revving to higher RPMs (more power at the higher RPMs with FI) while still being somewhat...

This is a really dumb question that I have not found an answer for. I recently bought an erector set with a 3-6 volt motor. It has the option of 2 or 4 AA batteries. I am trying to figure out what the RPM's are with 4 AA batteries for a small hobby project of mine. I know this is simple...

First of all, if you have a generator with an open circuit, and you are pedal powering it, where does the energy go? I would say it is lost as heat, but not sure what could heat up. The coils in the generator itself? Next, what happens if you short the output of a generator? Does it make it...

Hi guys, new here to the forum. I was an electrical engineering student but am now working on more of a mechanical issue so I'm a bit out of my element. I am working with a small electric motor attached to a gearbox. The final gear opens and closes a metal valve. I am having trouble finding...

Torque is the rotational force. If there is more force, how can the motor be slow? I'm building a DC motor and read that given a constant amount of coil, creating a very dense coil will increase torque but lower RPMs. Conversely, making it looser (bigger radius) increases RPM but lowers torque.

I hope you all will permit a question from a non-scientist seeking some practical guidance on a vintage table saw restoration. I have a 1930s era table saw whose 5/8" shaft spins at 4500 rpm inside a porous bronze bearing that is lubricated with SAE 20 oil. On the motor pulley side of the...

as the title states I am looking to solve how to calculate power (horsepower) by measuring the change in rpm over a few seconds. torque will be kept constant at 200lbs/ft. hp= (torque x rpm) / 5252 since torque will be held constant it reduces to: hp= C x rpm where C is 200/5252 so...
