RPM Vs Watts (3.00 / 0) (#15)

(User Info)

I had the cutin figured before at about 320RPMs.

At 650RPMs, only 0.45A into a 12.65V battery.  5.69 watts.

At ~800RPMs, 1.2A into a battery before.  15.18 watts.

At 1100RPMs, 1.5A into a 12.89V battery.  19.33 watts.
(Hey! It did some charging during testing!)

Quite a jump from 650RPM to 800RPM, 300% output with a 23% increase in speed.

Does that seem normal?
