Math Problem

08/07/2009 4:54 PM

If you have a 1"x2" exhaust tube blowing air out of it at a rate of 250Mph 440cubic ft per minute what would the foce or torque be if directed at a finned 35 lb fly wheel also can the torque of a wheel thats not connected to the drive train 22' wheel at lets say 45 mph of course coonected to the pavement but just free spinning like a trailer wheel I hope this is enough info thank you in advance for any reply

And what would be the source of this," 250Mph 440cubic ft per minute" wind?

Back to square one for you!

"also can the torque of a wheel thats not connected to the drive train 22' wheel at lets say 45 mph of course coonected to the pavement but just free spinning like a trailer wheel"

Now, you're on to something!!!

the source is a leaf blower haha may sound crazy its a project im working on to see if there is any other useful purpose for that 250 mph wind coming off that leaf blower it seems to pack a pretty good punch at close range working with very little means have five children and limited knowledge lol do not have the math knowledge to answer my own ? or tools to measure the torgue i believe the toque will play the largest roll in my experiment. as for the car wheel electric cars are charging during breaking and coasting i bei=lieve there missing something another source of energy that could raise its efficiancy. again any help would be surely appreciated

an open mind need not think outside the box it has no boundries

The energy required to run the leaf blower far outweighs any output you might get.

Not to mention the cost of the parts to produce your wind generator.

This concept is outrageously inefficient and ill informed.

Sorry.

OK, if you want to have math problems give math problems that need time and some high mathematics. Here is no math needed, just simple Physics and you have to match just the numbers corcectly cause there just needed many problems from simple physics.
