Quick napkin math.
Tesla 100kW*hr battery. Something like 1000lb of mass, so not a tiny boat to fit it in.
1HP of motor, so barely moving your big heavy boat. The tide would probably win.
100Kwhr/746W = 134 hours run time. About 6 days.
Conclusion: High tech battery and a motor way too...
The divide by 300 bit looks weird to me. If it's a constant value, why not just bake that into the chart?
More likely the tolerance is just the "T5" value. That puts you at 6um [~0.0002" for our imperial viewers] which is more in line with what I'd expect to see for a bearing bore tolerance...
Do these BSFC curves take into account the "Power Enrichment" that is needed at higher load (presumably max torque is max load by BMEP?), or do they presume an impractical stoich mixture at all operating points? I'm kind of surprised that reduction in pumping losses from the WOT manages to...
I second this. Works good on the crank damper of many engines.
There are a lot of ways to do pulley->shaft that will be reliable. The one you have shown there isn't one of them.
It would even be better to do a bolt circle of M3's if you absolutely must have a face-to-face connection.
There's a picture with the forces labeled in the calculator. (You shouldn't need an online calculator for this Napkin Grade calculation, honestly).
Radial = force trying to separate the pinion & rack. (Primarily because of the pressure angle of the teeth)
Axial = force along the axis (shaft)...
[ponder] Look at their diagram again.
Radial force is great if you want to separate the pinion from the rack, but it's not what you want to push your seat...
Raising 100kg up a 45deg incline = ~693N load. (Ignoring losses).
300Nm on a pinion driving a rack where the pinion is, lets say ~25cm diameter = 2400N force.
Either your pinion is rather bigger than I imagine or one of us did some math wrong someplace.
I don't know what this thing does, so my suggestion may be completely off-base...
Can you redesign to make these easy to replace and stamp out a million from some "simple" alloy rather than going for the solid-gold approach?
Make it a twice-a-week preventive maintenance problem instead of...
I suspect your grooves would need to be ground & hardened for this to work. So you're looking at substantially large chunk of 52100 or similar.
Can you use crowned profile cam followers or needle bearings arranged around the periphery?
How about curved linear rail?
Previous posters already said it, but I'll say it again. You need to be careful here.
Where did the 5HP number come from?
A 5HP Motor running @ 50RPM
vs.
5HP Motor running @ 1750RPM through a 35:1 gearbox = 50RPM output.
These are substantially different in the torque department...
Typical...
It might be worth noting that motors of the same frame size can have significantly different overall lengths.
Example:
1/4HP 11.88" OAL 56C-575
1HP 13.48" OAL 56C-706
Obviously only an issue if the mounting location of the motor is cramped.
Place the origin on the "snap point" of the radius where the horizontal line is tangent to the radius.
Click and drag the origin horizontally, you should see a dashed phantom line extending the horizontal line.
Hover the origin over the "snap point" where the radius joins the vertical line, and...
Calculated weight gets a bit weird if you are modelling a purchased component or otherwise simplifying the internal guts of something.
Example: A 3d model of a motor will not have a remotely correct weight unless the designer went in a hollowed it out to match the catalog spec.
Stoichiometric at full load would require rather low compression and/or retarded timing to prevent knock. That isn't so hot for max power output either.
