Re: Ball Launchers? Ideas?

Well I estimated what the cim speed would be because I have no idea. I converted it in to mph to make it more easily recognized. But Yeah I have absolutely no idea how fast a cim would actually be spinning but. I took the diameter of the wheel in ft, .5, multiplied it by pi. multiplied it by rpm which I just put in 4500 because I have no idea. Oh yeah the Cim motor would be directly connected to the shaft through the wheels. Then I divided by 60 to give me ft per second. and converted it to mph.

Does any one have any rough ideas as to how fast a cim motor would be spinning under a load of a 6in wheel that is free spinning?
