Default Re: The great SFPM Debate

No, a motor turning 3000 RPM will turn 3000 RPM no matter what size wheel is on it. The larger the wheel the higher the SFPM.

If you put a larger wheel on a motor and it turns slower than with a smaller wheel on the same motor.
1. the wheel is too large for the motor. (a Chevy 350 in a Kenworth)
2. the motor is weak and fixing to burn up.
