I'm trying to calculate the rotational inertia involved in a racing vehicle.
Can someone give me an idea of the diameter and width of the gears (an average) in a
F1 car
a Rally car
Thanks.
"Also, while any weight reduction is beneficial, esp. rotating weight, the difference to the engine while accelerating in gear is just about zero."
Can you explain the last part further? You mean it's only beneficial while shifting?
It's often said that the moment of inertia of the transmission is very important to a light, racing car. So important that shaving a pound off the transmission rotating part is going to do more good than shaving a pound off the vehicle body. Can someone explain? Is it really significant? I think...
Does anyone know the size of a semitrailer transmission gear? (width, diameter)
Do you know the approx. cost of producing such a gear? It 'll need to handle 2000 ftlb of torque
Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.
I can move more than 0.025. In fact, I can move as much as I can, since I only care about the acceleration. Therefore, I can give it an initial velocity to begin with. It doesn't really have much to do with the distance.
Imagine a parabolic displacement curve due to a constant acceleration. If...
sreid,
the "bumps" on the cylindrical cam idea was what I was thinking. In fact, it doesn't have to be 0.025. I can give it a initial velocity to start with, so the lobe is a lot bigger. Also, I can do the "gear up and gear down" thing I mentioned.
You said mechanical start and stops in 10 ms...
Hi, thanks. I think I'd like to do it mechanically with the way I said above, preferably.
A servo would be too complicated, expensive, and not as reliable, I would think. Also I'm not familiar with servos at all.
What do you think of the way I've mentioned above? It doesn't have to be dead...
Hi
I need to produce such a response to a load:
1.an constant acceleration of 0.5m/s^2 for 1/100 of a second.
2.The initial velocity is not important. What matters is that during that 1/100 second time interval, the acceleration is 0.5 m/s^2
I thought about using a cam to produce this...

let's say there is a 200 HZ small shock loads that causes the engine rpm to make small variations (like 2 rpm) 200 times per second, does that damage the engine? or cause any bad effects?
Anyone know the mass and moment of inertia for a typical automobile engine flywheel?
Does high frequency, low intensity flutuating shock load damages engine?
I don't think it does, but I can be wrong.
But I think an engine is already always under flutuating conditions, such as cylinder...
Hi guys, I redesigned my project. The required actuator force is now only 2000 lb. Basically, I've decreased the actuation force by a factor of 10.
Do you think an electric actuator can also be considered?
I have a conception that electrics are not as good as hydraulics when the force is high...
If I had a gear train with speed ratio of 300: 1
if an input speed into it is 0.3 m/s. Then the output speed should
theoretically be 1 mm/s.
Although in a gear pair each member has a whole number of teeth,
which fixes the transmission ratio in terms of integral number of
turns, the...
