Re: Drivetrain Loss Calculations?
from what I remember 3 things are factors when looking at drivetrain HP loss.

1. Frictional force

2. The weight of the object being moved

3. Aerodynamic drag.

not sure what other factors are involved. me not an engineer. [img]/images/graemlins/supergrin.gif[/img] :bonk:
