I am trying to calculate an area of ground that has a 2.5 to 1 slope. The slope changes in length across a mass area. My question is looking at it from a top view I can see where the lengths of the slope change, I can flood that area and use CAD tools to get the area of that region. However...

LionelHutz P=(inertia x N2^2/2 - inertia x N1^2/2)/dt inertia = inertia of the flywheel. N2 = final rotating speed N1 = initial rotating speed dt = time to go from initial speed to final speed. I got looking at your formula again and I am interested to see how this might work for my...

I have not ruled out anything for the load yet as im still working on the engine assembly. My work load is leaving me little time for projects so I am still up for suggestions. From my past conversations with mustang dyno they were suggesting a 7.5 hp AC motor with a constant torque from 0-6000...

I have a pickup sensor mounted to the engines case and a magnet on the prop hub, as it spins I capture RPM on a digital screen for read out. As far as capturing torque I have a shaft that mounts to a plate (engine mounts to this) on one end and the other goes through 2 pillow block bearings...

I understand.

BigClive, the link doesn't work for me. Thanks

And for the second part of your post I have a feeling you have trouble sensing sarcasm so I will leave it at that. Anyways with the flywheel I am afraid that every time the cylinder fires there is an increase of acceleration of moving parts, with a heavy flywheel such as that 350 it will not...

I don't think you understand the size of these air crafts ,104- 110" wing span swings a 27x10 to 28x10 prop. 25% 30cc 16"-18" prop 30% 50cc-60cc 22" -24" prop 38% 100cc-120cc 27"-29" prop 42% 150cc-170cc 30"-33" prop

That 350 flywheel would probably snap cranks lol

These aircraft are giant scale 71" to 120" wing span. 30cc to 120cc 2stroke Gas engines.

I am just looking for peak HP at the moment.

For HP? There readings are theoretical with a known test prop and no actual real world data to back up there claims. Well 90% of the manufactures are guilty of this.

The thing with propellers is that depending on the type the torque measurements will change, so do I need to find which prop provides the most torque and use it for my HP calculations? Thrust can easily be captured as im not concerned about that nor fuel consumption as that isn't an interest...

what I would do is use the same manufacture for each prop but different sizes, 20"x8, 19"x8, and 18"x8 for a 30cc size 2 stroke. That would be easier if you think it would work.

The prop cools the engine, it also allows an easy way for me to start it.
