Scilight Paitanibu Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 Hello, I am Scilight! Some stuff about conversion. Can't you convert speed to tourqe through methods of gears?
fiveworlds Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) Torque http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lever. Yeah you can an internal combustion engine uses this principle. http://auto.howstuffworks.com/auto-parts/towing/towing-capacity/information/fpte4.htm So F=Mass*Acceleration provided by the combustion of Fuel. r is the distance from the fulcrum. p is linear momentum l is the angular momentum http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque#mediaviewer/File:Torque_animation.gif The diagram http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque doesn't take friction into account http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_momentum The example there would only be a one-stroke engine instead of two, three or four. etc http://thekneeslider.com/images/2009/12/opoc-2-stroke-engine1.jpg two stroke Four stroke Normally all the pistons and gears are tied to a central gear we call the camshaft. The image for the 2 stroke engine needs to be refreshed it's throwing an error if you try to access their image from a url. Edited August 6, 2014 by fiveworlds -1
Enthalpy Posted August 7, 2014 Posted August 7, 2014 Hi Scilight, welcome here! Yes, gears usually serve to trade speed against torque. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gear The product of angular speed (then in radians per second) and torque gives a power, which the gear transmits (minus 1-3% losses in reasonably good cases) from one shaft to the other, so what is gained on torque or speed is lost on speed or torque.
