Title: how to calculate the thrust
Post by: SORAV on January 21, 2010, 07:06:30 PM
hello to all the members of the forum.my question is how can we calculate the thrust in grams when we are known to some of the constants like the amps and watt drawn by the motor and a specific prop. or we can say by the variables that are there on the watt meter as i am using a watt meter but still unable to calculate the thrust power of a particular motor at a specific prop.any help will be highly appreciated.

This should be a starting point.

Merged.

The starting point in understanding thrust is these thread, which is part of the Gems.  They talk about wattage and thrust :
