Q: How fast can a 13 hp Honda go kart motor go (mph)?
I am looking into a buying a go kart locally and it is equipped with a 13 horsepower and 389 cc motor. It does not have a roll cage or any of that, just simply the motor, seat, pedals, floor board, and steering column.
It sits about 5-6 inches from the ground. I am going to be riding mainly on packed dirt, sand, grass, and gravel.

How do you think this go kart will fair on the stated riding conditions?

Will it be able to take a little bit of a beating?

How fast can this engine to weight ratio go in mph? (I do not know the exact weight, but it cannot be over 200 pounds.)

Here is a picture….

It is a chain drive, clutch and sprockets

A: actually, it’s an rpm to drive wheel ratio equation. is it a chain, clutch and sprockets drive, or a two pulley torque convertor belt drive?
I had a minibike that topped out at about 30mph, then blew the clutch, so replaced the drive with a ‘comet’ torque convertor, and took it up to more like 45mph with the FAR superior driveline.

Q: how much wattage per horsepower do electic vehice motors make?
i want to know how many watts is required to move a car without battery weight. Perhaps just install a gernerator. Or how many watts does it take to move most of the modern EVs’out. Is there a good site somewhere to compare wattage/ hp ratio of different electric motors?

A: 1 HP = 746 watts
10 HP = 7460 watts
this is fixed, HP is a unit of power, as is the watt or kW.

Q: Which car would win in a race?
Who would win in a -1/4 mile- -1 mile- -30 to 60-

My car: 2006 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor
Friends car: 1999 Pontiac Grand Prix

Crown Vic Specs:
Weight: 4200lbs Horsepower: 250 @ 4900 RPM
Engine: 4.6L SEFI SOHC V8 Torque(ft-lb): 287 @4100 RPM
Axle Ratio: 3.55:1 LSD 0-60 (stock*): 8.75sec
Mileage: 100,000 Tire Size: 17″
Transmission: 4-speed automatic (upgraded for much harder shifting)

1999 Pontiac Grand Prix specs
Weight: 3370 lbs Horsepower: 160 @ 5200 RPM
Engine: 3.1L MPFI V6 Torque(ft-lb) : 185 @ 4000 RPM
Axle Ratio: 3.29:1 0-60: 8.8sec**
Mileage: 130,000 Tire Size: 16″
Transmission: 4-speed automatic

* = ‘Stock’ meaning I have not modified it since buying (no cold-air, flow master, supercharger, etc…)
** = This may not be the actual 0-60 time. I searched all over and could not fin the 0-60 time for the base 1999 Pontiac Grand Prix. So I watched a couple of YouTube videos of 1999 Grand Prix 0-60 times, and averaged them to get 8.8.

A: Use the force, Bradster. You can answer your own question with a few mathematic computations. don’t forget to factor, aerodynamic drag coefficients, transmission entropy ( slippage), and environmentals ( wind, temp, humidity). Good luck, BTW The Vic should kick the GP.

Q: Hi can someone help me with this? I know it is not necessarily R&S, but there is more traffic here…………
I was having a coversation via e-mail with a friend and we were talking about hydrogen as the way of the future for our energy needs and I was doing some research and compiled this information.

Is my math correct?

A given weight of Deuterium (H2) also called Heavy Hydrogen, can produce about 4 times as much energy as the same weight of Uranium. Fissioning of 1 pound of (0.45 Kilograms) of Uranium produces as much energy as burning 1,140 short tons (1030 metric tons) or 2,280,000 pounds of coal. A short ton in America = 2000 pounds.

So to help you do the math:
If you have X pounds of Deuterium, it produces 4 times the energy of Uranium which produces as much energy as burning 1,140 short tons of Coal.

That means 1 pound of Deuterium = the same as fissioning 4 pounds of Uranium which = Burning 4,560 Short tons or 9,120,000 pounds of coal.

1 short ton = 20,754,000 BTU’s (BTU = British Thermal Units = A BTU is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound avoirdupois of water by one degree Fahrenheit. 143 BTU is required to melt a pound of ice.)
(1 BTU = 1055 joules)

20,754,000 BTU = 21,869.63 megajoules (Megajoule = 1,000,000 Joules). 1 kilowatt-hour = 3,412 BTU.

1 joule = 1 watt second ( watt second = a unit of electrical energy equal to the work done when a current of one ampere passes through a resistance of one ohm for one second. )

1 ampere = 1 coulomb (6.28 x 1018 electrons) per second.

1 ohm = The unit of measure of electrical resistance. ( One volt will force a current of one ampere through a resistance of one ohm.)

1 volt = the force required to send one ampere of electrical current through a resistance of one ohm. It is analogous to water pressure in pounds per square inch. A unit of electrical pressure measuring the force or push of electricity. Volts x amps=watts. The terms potential, electromotive force (emf), and voltage are often used interchangeably. Also is = to performing one joule of work to move or separate one coulomb (6.25 x 1,018) of electrons. 1 Joule = 1/1055 or 0.000947867 BTU’s.

1 watt = one joule per second, 1/746th horsepower. Volts x Amps x PF = Watts. (Note: For AC (AC = Alternate Current) circuits, PF (Power Factor) must be included.) Also = 107 ergs per second. Commonly used to define the rate of electricity consumption of an electric appliance. One watt of power is expended when one ampere of direct current flows through a resistance of one ohm.

Power factor = The ratio between Watts (Active or True power) and Volt-Amperes (Apparent power). The Power Factor has a value somewhere between zero and one. This ratio is generally expressed as a decimal fraction.The distribution utility has to provide equipment that will carry Amps, and if the Power Factor is poor (less than about 0.9), the distribution network is inefficient. A power factor of 1.00 is unity. A device such as a ballast( Ballast = device that controls currents in lamps) that measures 120 volts, 1 amp, and 60 watts has a power factor of 50% (volts x amps = 120 VA, therefore 60 watts/120 VA = 0.5).

1 erg = In terms of the joule, 1 erg equals 0.0000001 joule.

There is much more, but I think this is more than enough for what we want to do.

O.K. if we fuse 1 pound of Deuterium, that will produce 99,848,642.8 Megajoules of energy or 27,735,734.1 Kilowatt-hours.

1 watt-hour is equivalent to 1 watt of power used for 1 hour. This is equivalent to 3,600 joules. So, 1 kilowatt-hour is = to 1000 watts of power used for 1 hour and this is the equivalent of 3,600,000 joules.
Thanks for any help you can give….

and there should be a comma between, “Hi” and “can”…

A: The basic approach is sound, the major gap is that you haven’t specified the particular nuclear reaction in which the deuterium engages. The basic idea, that nuclear fusion of deuterium (or other light isotopes) can produce lots of energy, indeed more per pound than uranium, is correct. There is, however, one small flaw: at the moment, unless you are trying to blow up something really big, we don’t know how to do it. Scientists have been working on the problem for decades, and we are not even close to a solution.

A: I am seriously considering the Wing as my next bike.
The 6-cyl makes for a smoother bike. The shaft drive is enclosed versus the belt (you can get a rock between the belt and pulley). Besides, the HD is air cooled; not a big deal unless your stuck in traffic. The Wing will out handle and outrun the UC.

Was hoping for a 3/4 ton because thats what I’m suppose to have to haul a horse trailer. (Especally over a pass)

A: Answered your own question.Maximum GVWR 6250
Maximum Towing 7300
Payload Base Capacity 1910
The truck is a half ton in terms of payload but in terms of weight the truck is probably 2.5 or 3 tons.
