10 kW
I am looking at a project that would have small lightweight motor or motors that would output around 50 horsepower for around 50 to 60 seconds. I have recently been looking at some of the interesting looking RC helicopter motors and transmissions that do 5,500w continuous and 12KW peak in crazy in 1KG (including gearbox) package that have a output speed of 2900RPM. With say 4 of these motors working together its seems my 50hp could be achievable. There was aways the ever elusive motor that recumbrence was putting together with Astro that never seemed to get past the prototypes.
The other thought is there maybe a lot of motors that could handle insane 1 minute runs but then would need to be completely shut off to cool down. I assume your really start to run into motor saturation problem and really are just loosing efficiency.
