Hi CGr et al,
Wow this certainly opened a can of worms, or should that be nasty dangerous electrons? Here is a Power Table developed by someone far more clever than I. I've also included an advertisement for a brand of motor that does attempt to provide a comparison to IC.
Cheers,
Colin
I'm a 1/2A flyer, mostly, Norvel .06 engines. They do 19,000 RPM on a 6 x 3 prop. My ThrustHP calculator says that this delivers .127 HP and converting that to Watts gives us, 94 Watts,,, just as the power table says. Neat.
My problem now is that I have a foamy Spitfire that spins an 11 x 6 , SCALE, three blade prop. I wanted to convert that to a diesel engine to get the roar of an engine into the illusion. No go, no way that a small diesel will spin that size of prop. So electrics are a WHOLE new ball game to me.
And that Spit, on an electric motor, with that prop, flys very realistically. Will they ever come out with a device that could blast out the roar of a Merlin, 12 cylinder ?
