Efficiency measurements in e-Pattern
Hello to all,
I would like to know if anyone has measured the actual efficiency of our setups. That is, not measuring only U*I = P [Watt], but also the actual efficiency based on prop RPM and n100W-values, where available. I'm interested in this because many posts are about Watts measured U*I, but that's "P_in" (Watts as measured at the battery leads), not "P_out", which is IMHO a completely different story altogether - ESC heat, motor heat and prop efficiency do play a big part in getting the most out of our setups.
One crucial question: are n100W-values of our props (18' to 22' or even bigger) available, and if so, where? I'm eager to measure my Plettenberg setup with this method.
