I am trying to work out how to size a generator for a set amount of torque?
Please bear with me as I am not from this industry but will try to explain what I need. I have a very small motor which I can get to turn a pulley or similar but it has a small & variable amount of power available. Correct me if I am wrong but there would be 2 things needed to calc an amount of electricity that can be generated.

power of motor{hp} = {Torque(lb.ft}x(2 x pi)x(rotational speed(rpm)}/{33000}. Torque = Force x Pulley radius
Hope this will help you |
