Thanks Steve,
Don't go to too much trouble on my account, but thanks for the hp as I will calc all the ratios and diameters directly from the fpm I use on all of my machines. It's only the hp that can't be easily calculated as there are just way too many losses and factors that it is easier just to ask folks what they have and whether or not it works. I have decided to work on a new idea for blade twisting as well which means there is no way to accurately calculate drive losses.
Best Regards
Rick
