No, the speed of sound is about 57,000 fpm, depending on atmospheric conditions. Most lawn mower blades move at 10,000 fpm to the highest I have seen is 18,000 fpm.
No, helicopter blades do not break the sound barrier. The tips of the blades can approach the speed of sound, but the entire blade does not exceed the speed of sound.
No, a wind turbine typically spins at a much slower speed than the speed of sound. The rotational speed of a wind turbine's blades is usually between 10-20 revolutions per minute, whereas the speed of sound is around 343 meters per second at sea level.
A jet engine is typically louder than a lawn mower from the same distance away due to the higher intensity and frequency of sound produced by the jet engine. Jet engines generate more noise because of their powerful engines and the high-speed exhaust gases they produce, compared to a lower-powered lawn mower engine.
A turbine blade slows down the speed of wind as it passes through, converting the kinetic energy of the wind into rotational energy to drive the turbine. The amount of speed reduction depends on the design and size of the turbine blade.

No, helicopter blades do not break the sound barrier. The tips of the blades can approach the speed of sound, but the entire blade does not exceed the speed of sound.
If the engine is running at proper speed the outside edge of the blade is moving at 1900 RPM, at those speeds only the first two outs side inches of the blade are doing all the work.
Most modern mowers are of the rotary type. Rotary mower engines are all made to spin at 3,600 revs per minute when not under load. During cutting, the rpm drops to between 2800 and 3300. There is a simple wire-based device for measuring rpm on a running mower, which all mower specialists would own.The other speed linked with your question could be that concerning the velocity of the blade tip as it revolves. As the centre of the blade is spinning at 3600 rpm, an 18 inch blade tip will travel through the air at one speed a 21 inch at a faster speed and so on. Rotary mower blade bars are made up to a max of 24 inches.
The blade speed on a 12.5 HP Cub Cadet G1236 mower typically ranges from 2,500 to 3,000 RPM (revolutions per minute). This speed can vary slightly depending on the specific model and engine settings. For the most accurate information, it's best to consult the owner's manual or manufacturer's specifications.
loose blade, bent crankshaft.... remove sparkplug cap so mower won't start & spin blade at moderate speed with hand & if it stays level around whole mower deck the crank is not bent. youtube user (davidsfarm) would likely know whats wrong. the piston rod might be loose.
Usually between 2800 and 3000 rpm. It could go faster, but blade tip speed becomes dangerously high past that.
Yes, the blade RPMs on a zero-turn mower are generally faster compared to traditional riding mowers. This higher RPM allows for a cleaner cut and better overall performance, especially when navigating tight turns and uneven terrain. The design of zero-turn mowers, which emphasizes maneuverability, often necessitates more efficient blade speed to maintain cutting effectiveness.
Ground speed is matched to the engines ability to maintain speed while cutting grass. Smaller engines will bog down quicker and if the blade is not spinning at max speed the grass will not be cut properly
No, a wind turbine typically spins at a much slower speed than the speed of sound. The rotational speed of a wind turbine's blades is usually between 10-20 revolutions per minute, whereas the speed of sound is around 343 meters per second at sea level.
Not much faster. True helicopters are limited in airspeed. The helicopter blade can not fly faster than the speed of sound or it begins to flutter and even stall. The advancing blade has to go through the air faster than the retreating blade. The speed of the blade is the sum of the speed of the helicopter in forward flight plus(+) the rotational speed of the turning blades. If they can design a blade that will work at slow speeds and at speeds greater than Mach 1, then maybe they can build a faster helicopter.
Decreasing the blade length will increase the rotation speed, and thus the turbine speed ( for constant wind speed ).
A ride mower may slow down the blades due to several factors, including a dull or damaged blade, which can hinder cutting efficiency. Additionally, a clogged deck with grass or debris can impede blade movement. Mechanical issues, such as a malfunctioning spindle or drive belt, may also cause the blades to slow down. Lastly, insufficient engine power or fuel issues can lead to decreased blade speed.
