I am curious if this can be accurately done? Obviously we can determine the resistance in copper wire per diam, and determine over all resistance, BUT actually determining how many turns???
See, I think you can estimate how long the wire is but not how many turns. In sum, what I am trying to...
In a custom application, we would prefer the instant performance that only a twin screw can offer. I have also not found much to support that a centrifugal type will really give any additional boost at peak rpm than the twin screw. (open to debate).
Problem is we really need something that...
We are an aerospace mfg/eng group, not experienced with gears too much. We have a design (not aerospace) that will require some gears. Wondering if there are some references, charts, etc that would help us decide on a particular tooth cut for a given radius? Basically we have some 1" shafts...
Please, for example purposes, imagine a twin screw type compressor. We are making larger Al shafts and have to insert steel center shafts for the bearings on them. There are 2 of these running together and MUST be clocked together within a nats ass... Does anyone have any good ideas on how to...
OK, a bit of an off the wall question here. I am considering throwing a big motor in my blender for the heck of it. I want to find something used and cheap since this may not go all that well..
Target is 2HP min, 25K rpm. I am thinking AC/DC type motors since they usually have no rpm limit...
Have a few different applications but all will be higher rpm (6,000-11,000rpm) units. I really like the throttle response of screw but hear that centrifugal might have an edge for all our HP on top end. Can a properly designed and applied screw system be better than centrifugal?
Design goals...
We are trying to make a DRO to display % concentration and PH of certain cutting fluids. I really have no idea what sensors we will even be looking for. We would want to build them from the bare component though.
Does anyone have experience with this? FYI, the soluble oil is a unique oil...
In a nutshell, we have some machining fluids that need tight control of concentration. WE already have a nice circuit for an LED display but need to incorporate a way to sense concentration. Problem I see here is there is a variety of oils with slightly different SG ratings.
I would also...
Not necessarily looking for something for nothing but rather trying to see if there is anything else out there that can shave some time off our software build. We will need to automate our system so edit of source code will be important. I have found several basic DAQ packages around 500 bucks...
We are looking to use a DAQ card for a dynamometer project and many of the sensor inputs the the DAQ card will be analog. Mostly tach and temp and some inductive pickups from plug wires. Just curious when signal conditioning needs to be employed? Do we need the extra protection? Is that...
We are looking to build a dyno for a custom application and considering the use of Labview as the software. I have a friend that has Labview but rarely uses it or knows much about it. I am willing to get a seat if it will do what we need.
For now, all we need to do is bring in approx 12...
Basically, for my own= information, I am looking at how chassis dyno torque is calculated. They all seem to come in below where the engine torque should be BUT there is ALWAYS a gear reduction to the final output which multiplies torque. For example, one vehicle I looked at was about a 3:1 in...
Here is the deal. We have a couple custom circuits that we are designing that use no more than 1A at 5V. Power supplies to run our circuits will vary so we want to make something that will accept say 10-100V AC or DC. Usually we might do a bridge and a reg but regs rarely deal with this much...
We have a transmission that simply will not shift under load. We increase the engine output by 300% and this creates binding in the sequential transmission. The thought came to mind to try and reduce friction on all the sliding components in the trans to help shift quality.
I am looking for...

I cannot seem to get a straight answer from most electricians and I think this is mostly out of their scope of expertise and I am not an EE so hoping to get something from the horses mouth.
When discussing Delta connections, some have indicated you may or may not have a high leg. I have...
We are making some parts that require some 6-32 STI holes and we install the inserts. We are inspecting our STI holes and our nogo side runs in about 1-2 turns. Problem is when the inserts are installed, a standard 6-32 nogo gage will go in. I realize it is usually not standard practice to...
