turbine f14
thanks for your response i have dug into my physics books and found the this formula power= kg lifted xlifting speed in m/s divided by 9.81x efficency . is this the corect formula to use if i was not going through a gearbox
and direct off a motor shaft . and is ans in watts or kilowatts i want...
thanks for your help. the motor does have two sets of brushes on the commutator and is used to drive a m/c
one of the brushes was not makeing contact on the slip ring would the motor still run once started and what problem would this have caused. again thak you for your help
