Na na na na na na na na BATMAN!,

BATMAN Here....... Wake up ALL!

5. And What brain out in F.E.LAND can tell me what H.P. IT takes to run a 10,000 watt Gen YOU MIGHT WIN A PRIZE ?

10kW = 13.41 HP.. but of course, it doesn't take ~13HP to 'run' a 10kW generator.. but it will take all of that & more to run it at full load ;-)

PS How's the Bat-Lever working out??

Sorry dirt digger, but this is simply not true.

Power (HP, Watt) is a function of torque (lb-ft, N-m) times angular velocity (RPM, radians/second).

Power=(torque)*(angular velocity)

So if we have "all the hosepower in the world," we can generate all the torque in the world with a simple gearbox. As we generate more torque, however, we lose velocity...

Oh Purepower, I just knew that you would be there to change a figure of speech into a way to shoot me down
My point was that as a GENERAL rule, torque is a much more important "number" than horsepower.
Take the engines that I work on daily-only 300hp, but over 900 lb/ft of torque.  the 300hp means very little cause it's direct drive, no gear box. but the 900lbft, now we got something to work with.

New graphic @ infringer's site, kids.

I'm sure it's horribly flawed and wrong, but those that can, give it a look please.

I'd love to see you drive a generator putting out 10000 watts with 13.41 hp!!!
with losses, I bet you'd have trouble getting 8-9000 watts, now maybe with a diesel engine, and it's GREATER TORQUE, you could perhaps get closer.

Of course it could be just my spider senses  but somehow I think BATMANS vids are gonna be silly [BUT I DO LOVE MOVIES][Chet PS pure power getting the info togather  thanks Chet
