Motor to gear ratio...
OK, I have an idea for a future set up and I am just wondering if I am over looking something. I am sorry if this idea has been thrown around before. I didn't see it anywhere.
(for the purposes of this discussion brands will be left off. Insert your favorite brand when you think about this.)
Here we go:
High quality reinforced 7mm bushing v3 gearbox
M110-120 spring (shooting for 400-420fps)
Steel bearing spring guide
POM or polycarb piston and head w/ bearings
Steel high speed gear set
High torque motor
8.4v 3600mAh (possibly 9.6v) battery
The rest is inconsequential
What I am thinking is m120 spring slows down ROF, high speed gears increase ROF, so the equalize. This setup would over burden a standard motor, so that is equalized by a high torque motor. The rest is just built to endure the strain.
Is it feasible?
Cheers,
B Miller
