notice how not to many motors make the HP they claim. these are 4 cyclinder motors and they don't make as much HP as some motors claim to have on here

 

i know what you mean my 720 is only about 26 and the other one you know well its only about 29 hahaha.

 

That is some good info.

I haven't read it yet, but I will. This is kind of an odd question but what is horse power? I now what but I mean mathmatically how would you achive it?

IE: speed * resistance = HP

rpm * resistance *time= HP

you get the idea.

 

its like torque x rpm divided by something....... I know its RPMs and Torque though.

 

Horsepower = Torque * rpm / 5252

If I had my engineering book with me I would tell you how to calculate it better but that is all I can come up with right now.

Oh yeah, this is also assuming there is nothing lost from friction so in other words it's in a perfect system.

 

Thanks guys, where did the 5252 come from?

 

One horsepower is defined as 33,000 foot pounds per minute. Pi = 3.14159. The 5252 comes from 33000/2pi = 5252.1131

 

There is a better equation for it, but I left my notes and my books up at school over break. Once I get back up there if you are still curious I can give you the full equation.

 

Thank you.
