Re: [Electric Boats] Why gear reduction?

 

Jason,


Good post and explanation about why we gear our motors.  But in the lower part, you are calculating propeller slip, not propeller efficiency.  There is a difference, propeller slip is easily measured and calculated.  Propeller efficiency calculations are more complicated.  I don't think that anyone in this group has been able to find a reasonable way to objectively determine their conversion's prop efficiency with accuracy and precision. 

Fair winds,
