It is going to depend on the gearing of the alternators, the torque curve of the engine and the torque curves of the alternators. The gearing...
Many thanks for all your help Rick. I have managed to get Javaprop working with the help of your instructions and I am trying to more fully...
And again! Many thanks, I have downloaded the spreadheet and it seems to do more or less what I want. Along with the comprehensive explanation of...
I have had a few refugees in my time :D . It is always good fun and never boring! Rick, what can I say! This is marvellous stuff and after...
Yes this is the right question but I dont see that the formula supplies the answer unless I am missing something... It seems to be for...
Thanks Rick, this is the sort of thing I was hoping for and is very helpful. The figures you have laid out make sense to me intuitively but I...
Thanks for your input, that's what I first thought but... Unlike modern engines the torque curve is anything but flat! Its more the power curve...
You might have a couple of other problems here... The torque requirement of two 200A alternators is going to be very high at lower speeds and...
I am looking for a few words from the wise here. I am trying to get a rough idea of what the rotational torque on my propeller shaft might be (and...
