  1. Horsepower is force x velocity. 1hp is 550 lb*ft/s

    That's a quick way to figure out how much power you need to drive a cylinder a desired speed.

    Using the same numbers as JHCC above of 50000 pounds at .78 inch/sec ; 50000 lb*.065 ft/s / 550 lb*ft/s = 5.9 hp. The same number he calculated from pressure and gpm.

    If you had a 8 hp motor how fast would that push it?  8 * 550/50000 = .088 ft/s, or 1.06 in/s

    That 1200 VW at peak 40 hp?  40*550/50000 = .44 ft/s, 5.28 in/s

     

     

  2. Noob here. Acquired this Trenton today. 219 lb, nice flat face with some minor chipping on the edges. Looks like she fell on her nose, and someone tested out the cutting torch on an edge. Should be good for my first "real" anvil. Rebounds a lot nicer than the hunk of rail I was using.
