Well 1 horsepower is about 750 watts so 6000 watts is 8 horsepower. If you had 8 horsepower running to each of the four wheels ( 24,000 watts ) in direct drive with no efficiency loss do to transmission gearing and removed the engine and transmission then you be able to drive a light weight body like a geo metro. Also the type of engine you are using would be important for a car you should really look at 3 phase ac induction so you would be able to climb hills. Car hub motors are starting to enter the market they have the motor inside the rim and I have been seeing those at 8 hp at 899+. 1 company actually makes 160 hp hub motors for cars. but those cost 10k + each

What inventor used a steam engine to add greater power to boats?

The answer simply is James Watt♥ Thanks↑


160.75 Watt hours equals how many kilo-watts?

Watt hours means energy or work and watts means power. You can never convert this. However, if you mean kilowatt hours, simply move the decimal 3 places to the left: .16075 kwh.


What did James Watt do to the steam engine?

In 1765, an engineer named James Watt was asked to repair a model of a Newcomen engine. While fixing it, he saw ways to improve it. He added a box called a condenser that helped keep the piston cylinder hotter. Watt also figured out how to have the steam push the piston in both directions, making a faster engine. Watt's improvements made the steam engine much more efficient. Watt also came up with the idea of comparing the power of his steam engines to the amount of work a horse could do.


What is the unit of load?

The unit of load or the power used in an electrical circuit is usually watt hours. In a mechanical system, load is force (pounds or newtons, for example).


Was James watt factory called mechanical marvel?

The term "mechanical marvel" is not specifically associated with James Watt's factory. However, Watt is renowned for his contributions to the steam engine, which revolutionized industry and transportation during the Industrial Revolution. His innovations in steam power and engineering certainly made significant advancements that could be described as "marvelous" for their time. While his factory and work were impressive, the specific label "mechanical marvel" is not commonly used in historical references.

Can a 6000 watt generator power a 25hp ac electric motor?

No it what work 756 watts = 1 HP. You would need a generator that can supply 756 x 25 = 18900 watts.


Will a 2800 watt generator run a 550 watt electric cement mixer motor?

Yes, a 2800 watt generator should be able to run a 550 watt electric cement mixer motor. The generator's wattage is more than enough to power the motor with some extra capacity for other devices. Be sure to check the starting wattage of the motor as well to ensure the generator can handle the initial surge of power needed.

Will a 6000 watt generator power a machine that draws 14 amps?

Yes, Power (in watts) equals voltage times current (Amps). Amps = Watts/Volts If your generator is 6000 watts that would operate a 120 volt load up to 50 amps (6000/120=50). If you are running a motor or compressor, the initial inrush of current is about 3 times higher so 14 X 3 = 42amps. Should do fine...

Can 1hors power motor run the 2500 generator?

A 1-horsepower motor can produce about 746 watts of power. If the 2500 generator requires more than this amount of power to operate, then the 1-horsepower motor would not be sufficient to run it. Typically, a 2500-watt generator would require a motor with a higher power output to function effectively. Therefore, it's unlikely that a 1-horsepower motor can adequately power a 2500-watt generator.

Is a measure of how much energy electric charges in a current?

The measure of how much energy electric charges in a current carry is called electric power. It is the rate at which energy is transferred by an electric circuit. The unit of electric power is the watt.


What wire gauge and amperage for a 1600 watt wall heater?

1600 watts is unusually low for electric baseboard heaters! These usually are rated at about 6000 watts.Typical electric baseboard heaters operate on 220 volts thus you heater would pull about 7.3 amperes and 16 gauge wire can easily handle this.A standard 6000 watt baseboard heater pulls about 27 amperes and needs 10 gauge wire.
