    PTO Generator inadequate for larger HP motors?

    With 6 poles it has to run at 1200 rpm to generate 60 htz. The formula is rpm = (htz x 60 x 2) / number of poles (60 x 60 x 2) / 6 = 1,200

    PTO Generator inadequate for larger HP motors?

    Motors are inductive reactance load. The current flow is not in sync with the voltage. This results in greater current flow than is expected by simply converting hp to Watts or Volt Amperes.

    PTO Generator inadequate for larger HP motors?

    Typical clamp on current meters are just not capable of accurately measuring inrush current. The peak inrush is usually over before the meters start to detect it. Your measured running load is 22 Amps. Inrush is typically around 6 times that. 132 Amps amps at 240 V is far greater than the...

    Electric motors nameplates generally will show starting kVA (NEMA codes), some as high as nine times the running kVA. Use the starting kVA when determinig the correct electrical load requirements. If there isn’t enough power to start there isn’t enough to run.

    Front Tire Puncture Question

    Finding small leaks is just not that difficult. Plugging is certainly quick and cheap but is more prone to leakage than an internal patch. Both plugging and patching are cheaper than tubing. Biggest problem with tubes are the relatively rapid deflation when punctured.

    Front Tire Puncture Question

    I would be curious as to the location of the “pinhole” leak. Was it leaking at the plug? I have seen a lot of tire plugs that leak. In most cases, a tire repaired with a plug cold have been better serviced with a patch inside the tire. Plugs often leak. Patches seldom do.

    Solar Farm #2, dangers involved.

    The nuke plant can generate 24hrs/day, 365.25days/year. The solar plant just can’t do that. In my opinion, the biggest downside to both solar and wind generation is that there has to be real power plant that has to supply the power when the solar and wind plants can’t.

    Tractor classification — HP vs torque

    Tractor classification — HP vs torque

    One could also say that torque is just a mathematical derivative of horsepower. Horsepower and torque are indeed directly related to each other and the engines speed. 5,252 rpm is the number of revolutions required to make the hp and torque equal numerical values (i.e., X hp and also X ft...

    Tractor classification — HP vs torque

    Tractor classification — HP vs torque

    Thats the difference between the performance of diesels and gas engines. Diesels when loaded drop in rpm but the available torque increases with that drop in rpm. Gas engines just drop in rpm and also drop the available torque.

    Swollen Ford Lug nuts

    Conversely, a 1000 cfm supplied at 0.01 psig won’t budge that doll car wheel either. Supplied pressure and volume are not independent of each other. All else being equal, increased flow volume will result from increased pressure and increased pressure results in greater volume.

    But that only applies to vehicles registered in that state. If it’s not classified as a commercial vehicle in the state where it is registered, it is unlikely to be treated as a commercial vehicle in any state.
