Looking for the "engine to alternator" pulley size calculator

(1/1)

I know it's here somewhere but i can't find it!

cheers.

Halfnuts:
What for you need a calculator?  The ratio of the diameter of the two pulleys will be the same ratio as the rpm ratios. 

Diameter 1 * RPM1 = Diameter 2 * RPM2

Example:

You have a 24" flywheel turning 650 RPM and you need 1800 RPM at the generator.  What size pulley do you need on the genny?

Diameter 2 = (Diameter 1 * RPM1)/RPM2

Diameter 2 = (24" * 650 RPM)/1800 RPM

Diameter 2 = 8.67" pulley will give you 1800 RPM at the generator.

jimmer:
This is handy too.
