How many HP is a pound of thrust?

So for every lb of thrust used at 551mph, that results in 551 divided by 375 = 1.46 hp. So how many lb of thrust do we have at those speeds.

How many HP is 30lb thrust?

Pounds of Thrust to Horsepower Chart

Pounds of Thrust (lbs) Amps Horsepower
30 30 0.36
40/45 42 0.5
50/55 50 0.6
70 42 1.01

How many HP is a 55lb thrust trolling motor?

Using this formula the popular Newport Vessels NV-Series 55lb Thrust Trolling Motor is rated as 624 watts at the highest forward speed and so 624/746 = 0.84 and would be roughly equivalent to a 0.84 horsepower motor.

How do you convert horsepower to thrust?

Divide the converted horsepower by the velocity to calculate the thrust. For this example, 330,000 lb. ft/minute divided by 40 feet/minute equals 8,250 lbs. The thrust is 8,250 lbs.

How much thrust does a 6hp Outboard have?

Thus for a propeller designed for 3 kn speed (typical electric system) the thrust is ~50 lbs/HP, but for a 6 hp outboard designed for 6 kn it would be less than 30 lbs/HP.

How much thrust does a 3 hp outboard have?

A 3 hp outboard will blow a 50 pound thrust electric motor out of the water – I have both and can make that statement. I can hold the boat with the 3 hp running so it isn’t pushing a tremendous amount. A 5 hp probably has somewhere near or over 200 pounds of thrust.

How many pounds of thrust is 5 horsepower?

How much thrust does a 5 hp outboard have?

Can thrust be converted to horsepower?

Thrust to Horsepower Definition Converting a thrust to a horsepower involves multiplying the total pound-force of thrust by the velocity of the object.

Is thrust equal to torque?

The torque that is produced by the engine is converted to thrust by the combined effect of the gear ratio with our propeller. Physics teaches us that the Torque is proportional to the horsepower (Hp) and inversely proportional to the rotation speed (Rpm).
