Unit of ejection “force”
Hi, I wanted to verify that the unit of ejection “force” is really kNs. So I did a little test and shot a little probe consisting of: RC-001S Remote Guidance Unit, Z-1k Rechargable Battery Bank, TR-18D Stack Separator, Z-1k Rechargable Battery Bank, RC-001S Remote Guidance Unit
So each side of the separator has the same mass (150 kg) and I then activated the stack separator I got a speed relative to the separator of 16.7 m/s and 33.4 m/s relative to each side. The momentum is then p=m·v=150 kg·16.7 m/s=2505 kg m/s (or Ns) which is only one 10th of the ejection “force” given by the part.cfg of 250. Now did I do a mistake in my calculations, or is the unit really given in 10 Ns or is it really a force and not a momentum (although that doesn't really make sense). — xZise [talk] 07:20, 5 October 2013 (CDT)
I did additional measurements with all separators and I always get the given value in 10 Ns: For the TR-2C Stack Separator I have 1 m/s (→ 150 kg·1 m/s = 150 Ns, specified is 15) and the TR-XL Stack Separator got wopping 40 m/s (destroyed half my setup) (→ 150 kg·40 m/s = 6000 Ns, specified is 600). I'll test how decouplers work. Although I guess the number specified is only for one side. — xZise [talk] 13:41, 5 October 2013 (CDT)
