I have a vehicle of a given mass of 600kg, powered by four electric motors. To simplify, the motors are directly attached to the wheels, via an 80:1 harmonic drive.
I have the engine's power, max rpm (800W total, 200W per engine and 10 000 rpm).
Now, the question is: would these engines be enough to move the vehicle?
I can get the torque-on-wheels by using the formula Tw=Te*ic*nm
where Tw is torque-on-wheels, Te is the engine's torque, ic is the drive train's rating, and nm is the energy transfer coefficient.
But how do I infer:
1) The engine's torque, and
2) If Mk is enough to move the vehicle from a standstill?
Also, is the above formula correct at all?
