Hz

[sejtm]

to what do the ' 250Hz' and ' 350Hz' refer?
the theoretical top speed (15000rpm = 250/second)?

The 250Hz refers to the theoretical limit of the Powerballs - 15,000rpm...

... though Akis has certainly blown that one out of the water with his 16317rpm!! :D

The 350Hz refers to the Metals, which are expected to operate at approx 20,000rpm when the lightweight rotor becomes available later this year.

Hi Enda,

...when the lightweight rotor becomes available later this year.


Uh-oh, that doesn't sound like "soon" to me. Is your definition of "later this year" within a month?

Anyway, to keep on topic: Does this mean that Akis hasn't managed to break the hypothetical 21k barrier with the proto-type yet?

Kind regards,
Dennis

The Lightweight Rotor (21,000rpm) He Has A Score Of: 18,644rpm
But The Standard Rotor (20,000rpm) He Has A Score Of: 13,731rpm

Thanks for your response, but I believe the Heavy (standard) rotor also has been tested at speeds of 21k (i.e. 350Hz), instead of 20k; though I doubt anybody will ever reach that speed, as it is a monstrous torque-generator.

Furthermore, I was actually referring to a possible new score of the Light-weight rotor (the "proto-type" of the Screamer, as I called it in my previous post) that we do not know of, as records with this PowerBall will not be posted on an official Score Board. Enda probably knows.

Anyway, back to topic: Hz*60 = rpm, thus 250Hz = 15000rpm
Logically, rpm/60 = Hz, thus 21000rpm = 350Hz

Kind regards,
Dennis
