Re: Globe gear box

Finding the speed with a wheel is quite simple. You take the rpm of theof the wheel and multiply it by the wheel circumference(pi*diameter) to find linear speed. If your wheel is measured in inches and you are using rpm for roational speed, your linear speed number you got from the above calculation willl be in inches per minute. So, divide by 12 to get feet per minute and then divide by 60 to get feet per second.
