Excellent, we need some real science in this stuff for sure :-) My hunch is still that when geared down to the same rpm the ungeared motors deliver the greater torque, although admittedly I have never done a proper test to establish this. As (...) (23 years ago, 20-Aug-01, to lugnet.technic)

For the small compressor, I usually gear the ungeared motor down using a rubber band and the large pulley, and (...) (23 years ago, 20-Aug-01, to lugnet.technic)

I found that using gears instead of pulleys made the compressor (...) (23 years ago, 20-Aug-01, to lugnet.technic)

I too have been pondering the age-old question, "which motor is better?". Anyway, here are a bunch of (...) (23 years ago, 20-Aug-01, to lugnet.technic)

I repeated the pulling test and the transmisson gives in long before the motors do, (...) (23 years ago, 20-Aug-01, to lugnet.technic)
