Ok.........how much weight (moving at 1m an hour) would you need to drive a gear (or pulley) system to create.......( 63 ft pounds of torque....1hp.....i have got a little confused with what terms to use..sorry ) and achieve a rotation of one second (or more!) at the other end.
The largest gear or pulley can be no bigger than 2m in circumference....
I have a drop of 10m
This is to run an alternator that I will build with as little friction as possible that will generate a meaningful amount of electricity at low rpms........
This is a curiosity that has sent my head spinning so any ideas etc would be most appreciated....fun fun fun
