I think one of the great parts of this is your careful attention to what units are being used at each step of the process.

I agree with John's thought on making it as clear and understandeable as possible. You can never stop making it easier to use.

Not that these ideas would make it easier to use (probably the opposite ) but how about at the important parts of the calculation having a link which describes the calculation that is going on behind the scenes? Or how about a couple of plots showing the results that got generated (top speed versus gear ratio, for example). How about a pushing force calc?

Keep up the great work,
Ken
Thanks i am planning on making it a lot more user friendly and hopefully eventually make it have a nice interface.

I will put up a page on how i make these calculations so if i made a mistake you can check my math.

Im currently writing up some rough very rough calculations in excel to calculate acceleration, and how much pushing power you will have (with rough top and wedge top) and eventually make it into a web page.

Thanks
