Hi fellas, Really how to select the wattage of the motor as I'm stuck with that. I came across several formulae, yet still unable to do it so. Vehicle Mass = 120Kg Load Mass = 100Kg (max) Front tyre = 8" x 2 Back Tyre = 12" x 2 Tyre material = Polyurethane Dimension = 25" x 35" Speed = 9.3km/hr
They told that, coeffient of rolling friction for PU = 0.2-0.7 coeffient of drag = 0.04 ( for oval shaped bodies) density in aerodynamics force = density of air = 1.225
By following attached calculations I've got 4KW (with 100% efficiency itself), yet with two - 0.5KW DC brushed motors itself it is working. I just want to know how it is possible!!
