Re: force required to spin vaccuum fan
I have a 120 volt 5.7 amp shop vac that seems to handle the soccer balls well. I want to use the JVN design calculator to figure gear ratios to drive it at the same speed using 1 CIM and 2 FP motors so I need to have some number to plug in the formula for force required to spin it.
Does that help?
