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).
The amount of work done in a certain amount of time?
The amount of work done in a certain amount of time is the power.Power is measured in watts, and is defined as joules per second. Work is a mechanical form of energy. Dimensionally, it is Force*Distance. Typical units are ft-lb or watt-seconds. Power is the rate of work, dimensionally Force*Distance/Time. Typical units could be ft-lb/hour, or watt.
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.
What is the electric power equation?
v times i watt
Electric power is the rate at which electricity does work. What is the term for the unit that measures electric power?
The units of work or energy don't depend on where it comes from.They include . . .watt-secondwatt-hourkilowatt-hourjoulefoot-poundinch-poundergdyne-centimeternewton-meter
The unit used to measure electrical power is the?
The Watt is the unit used to measure electric power :)
What is a measure of the electric power of a appliance?
The watt is the unit of power. For electricity, watts = volts x amps.
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...
Is a measure of the electric power an appliance uses?
The watt is the unit of power. For electricity, watts = volts x amps.
What size electric motor to operate 10000 watt generator head?
I would say about 13 HP on it. Hope it helps!
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 is mechanical load in kW?
A watt is simply the SI unit of measurement for power. So, the power of a mechanical load applied, say, to an electric motor is typically measured in kilowatts. In North America, a mechanical load is still generally measured in horsepower, which is the Imperial unit of measurement for power. The watt and the horsepower are simply two different units for measuring precisely the same thing!
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.
