It's not always how much you have. Sometimes it's all about knowing how to use what you have.
If one average strong horse can pull a stump out of the ground .. shouldn't we expect the same out of our 3 to 5 hps lawnmowers?
I suppose with them hooked to a large enough winch.. maybe.
but that old fella just might be able to do it in a few moments. He'd be eating hay and giving you fuel (once dried out) and you'd still be adding gas to your lawnboy.
DO you really think your 5hp power tool (table saw.. router.. air compressor) really give you 5 of them big fellas working?
Is there any relationship between cogging and output?
It's said that for power to be extracted from flowing water "head" is required.
Is this true? or is it a "truth" based on old technology?
Now where is this headed?
I've been doing the "lurking" thing here for over a year. Signed up not that long ago and have enjoyed reading others posts.. comments.. stories and diaries.
Sometimes feel a bit "cheated" when I find others that have no diary entries ..stories or files to peak at.
So not wanting to throw stones at my own windows....
Oh yeah, RE.. reminds me I live REALLY Darn close to a small river with an almost ideal location for a "paddlewheel" THere's power in them there currents. Plenty of eddies too! Been collecting stuff and talking for years, pretty soon it's going to be time to crap or get off the pot!
