Motor code

-Values input into the code

For Motor

Vin = voltage * cell #

Motor constants – Kt, Kv, Rm, Io

Inet = Iin-Io

Pin= Vin*Iin

Tout=Kt*Inet

Pout=Inet*(Vin-Iin*Rm)

RPM= Kv*(Vin-Iin*Rm)

Motor Code

Eta=Pout/Pin

Istall = Vin/Rm

Imax= sqrt(Io^2*Istall)

Etamax= ((Imax-Io)/Imax)^2

For Gearbox: given values-gear ratio (m), Etag

RPMg=RPM/m

Poutg= Pout/Etag

For Speed Controller: given value-Resistance(R)

Pd = Iin^2*R

Motor code

Pinsp =PoutB =Pin+Pd

Poutsp=Pin

Etasp= Poutsp/ Pinsp

-Choose the best motor based on Power output and Efficiency.

Propeller Analysis

Tool : modified Gold script

Method : Run at various diameters and pitches

Match Power and Thrust

Get value for J = V/nD, Cp, and Ct

Calculate Power from Battery

PB = Pr/(Etas*Etam*Etag*Etap)

Calculate Energy required for Battery

E = PB *t

Propeller Analysis

PB from Motor Code >= PB from Calculation

Eest= PB*2min. + 3/4*PB*10min. <= E
