Quoting the power isn't a complete picture, but it takes into account both torque and rpm. Quoting torque alone completely ignores rpm (and...
:eek: HP is power (kilowatts multiplied by a constant) -> energy per second. It's the most fundamental and important "number" for an engine. For...

Sorry if this is an ignorant question, but I'm just curious: how is the decision for a design made between single and multiple masts? I suppose...
I can't speak for every student/teacher/university, but I'm currently a NA student, and I'd say no, there is no move to truly design in 3D without...
This doesn't sound right...you mean by volume I guess. If you instead compare the materials pound for pound (a more useful comparison), an E...
Here is the Sunseeker 130 for easy comparison: [IMG] I think it looks more like this Sunseeker 115 though: [IMG] It's pretty obvious that...
