    "Better" is a personal choice. Torque is another word to mean force, easy to measure. HP is always calculated from it. High rpm machines will need to be revved and raced to get going. Low rpm machines pull like a tank or a ship: not fast but can move a mountain or a load (towing). High rpm machines wear a lot faster and eat a lot more gas than low rpm ones (same engine sizes compared, not a race bike vs a dozer).
    (This posting is a simplified approach, not a doctoral dissertation, ok people?)

    Excellent question, will post a video on it. Idle is an arbitrary number regarding an engine speed at which the motor just barely runs but does not stall. Gasoline motorcycle engines idle at 1250 rpm, gasoline car engines idle at 800 rpm, diesel truck engines can idle at 500 rpm. To get any amount of work out of an engine, it needs to run faster than idling speed. To start on a steep uphill, you need "big gas", need to run the engine at 1500 rpm just to get going.

    Why do Motorcycle engines have over double the RPM's of a car engine??

    • @apprenticemath
      @apprenticemath  7 років тому +19

      To accelerate ferociously. A tractor idles at 700. A container ship redlines at 120. A Formula 1 car idles at 6000. Motorcycles have small & light pistons to make them rev.

    Most gasoline car engines run about 2500 RPM to 3000 RPM at highway speeds... so that would be about 50 turns per second. (ie 25 power strokes on each piston per second)
    If you have a 6cyl engine, that would be 150 power strokes+sparks for whole engine per second.
    Another way to look at it: if caris driving 60 mph (88 feet per second) at 2500 RPM in a car with 4cyl engine, then the gas used for each piston's power stroke is moving car fwd about one foot. (or 1/3 meter)
    For metric perspective: if 3000RPM gets a car with 6cyl engine to 120 kph (33.3 mps) then each piston power stroke (150/sec) moves car 0.22 meters. (22.2cm or 8.75 inches)
    There is also a 1/3 overlap for a V6, where power stroke for one cyl starts before the previous one finishes.
    Most 4-stroke diesel engines in pickup or truck will turn about 2100 RPM at road speed... so that is 35 turns per second. If that is a V8 truck engine, you have 140 power strokes per second, and could be driving 60mph, then each cyl power stroke moves truck about 7.54 inches or 19.16 cm.
    A V8 engine will slso have about 1/2 power stroke overlap, where another cyl fires when previous one is about half down... giving more even torque/power.
    Small gas engines like motorcycles tend to turn higher speeds, and may run 6000 RPM (twice as fast as car) near 120 kph... but could only have two pistons, which would be 100 power strokes per second, so a 4stroke 2cyl engine would move cycle about 33cm per power stroke. (aprox 1ft. which is similar ratio seen with car shown above)

    @bommareddybrijendrareddy9301 5 років тому

    But rotations is about it's own axis whereas revolutions are not, they revolve or circulate their whole body about some axis circumference.
    The crankshaft too rotates about it's own axis, how is it revolutions per minute then?
    Please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks.

    • @kymmurray9098
      @kymmurray9098 5 років тому +1

      Its a little beyond the scope of this video but you have to think of the shaft or axle irrespective of its radius (and thus circumference) and how you measure what is a single turn. You may know that a circle is made up of 360 degrees in common terms. Thus a point on the circumference of the shaft rotates 360deg in a single whole turn..... 180 deg in a half rotation and 90deg in a quarter and so forth.
      This leads onto the topic of expressing degrees as 'radians' as in more general engineering terms "revolutions per minute" is converted to or expressed as "radians per second"..... but maybe Ive gone off topic too much already

    • @apprenticemath

      Rotation and revolution are interchangeable synonyms in this video. Bicycles have 2 cranks on a shaft, (so it`s a crankshaft), rpms are important to keep a pace.
      Starting your crank, pedal and knee at 12-o`clock position you rotate first a 1/4 turn to 90-degree position, then down to 6-o`clock position, back to vertical 12-o`clock position, the shaft on which the cranks are mounted did 1 revolotion. Doing 80 of these in a minute, or 80 rpm on a bicycle for an hour could be a nice cardio workout, depending on gearing.

  • @apprenticemath
    @apprenticemath  11 років тому +1

    There is not. Mechanical, contact-type gages and instruments have frictional losses, however small, = they show less than actual rpm due to frictional losses. Non-contact gages and instruments have no fricion losses, they have signal delay and processing losses, = they show less than actual rpm due to signal losses. Non-contact instruments are pretty accurate though. Actual rpm is determined mathematically.

      Speed has nothing do with power. A 1000 horsepower tractor or a 10 thousand horsepower tanker is very slow.

    If rpm just simply measures the amount of rotations a wheel turns per minute, what is the point of rpm then. why do we need to know how many times a wheel rotates per minute? Wheel sizes are different from bikes to motorcycles to cars to trucks, so speed can't be measured with rpm cause if one small wheel is going 100 rpm and a big wheel is also going 100 rpm, the big wheel is going to get further so you can't use it for distance per minute so like whats the point of it. Why are their rpm pedometers on things. Why do we need to know how many rpm of a wheel on a vehicle? Like i get what rpms is, but i dont understand the point of it and why people use it as if it does have to do with speed cause like I said, all wheels aren't the same size so it can't be reliable for measuring speed to me.

    1/60 rpm is not correct.
    Cause
    / And 60 already indicate p,m
    So if you write 1/60 rpm it will be 0.016666667 so it's totally incorrect .
    In easy way.
    R indicates rotation
    So RPM= Rotation per minute
