Well there was my first mistake...
28.6v/6000RPM = x/4000RPM, x=19.04v @ 4,000 RPM
should read...
28.6a/6000RPM = x/4000RPM, x=19.04a @ 4,000 RPM
so in this equation:
Watts = Amps x Volts
W = 19.04a x 14v (constant)
hehe...damn typos!
And based on what enrico said, it won't be a constant
14v, I'm guessing more around 13.5 from what I
remember when I measured this summer at a constant RPM
somewhere above idle.
Thanks,
Bryce
