    Start-up amp draw for Rotrex C15-60

    The Rotrex C15-60 is a nice fit for the GM 2.8L V-6 that is my target engine. Conveniently the Rotrex datasheet give a moment of inertia for electric applications. The Rotrex C-15 has an internal planetary gear drive with a 12.67:1 ratio. The current concept is to run a direct drive and...

    What batteries are you using?

    GeB was one of the others I found. I looked on their site and they show various A123 batteies with different specs. I would have thought that A123 was trademarked but that may not mean much in China. Probably the same thing for patents.

    I bought a Hobbywing ESC - Is this our Holy Grail?

    At 300+ amps the ESC temp never reached steady state. Any data on how long it took the ESC to cool back down? Since my project is for a sports car, I need to be able to get on and off the throttle while driving winding roads. I'll have plenty of battery capacity just wondering if there is an...

    Super Capacitors

    After more searching it seems like the 10000 Farad super cap invented by Sunvault is still a pipe dream. However Maxwell has available a 3400 Farad 3V cap. Also, Skeleton a German company has announced they are coming out with a 5000 Farad super cap in 2023. So I played with some numbers...

    Super Capacitors

    I stumbled across this when researching super capacitors. With 10000 farads it would be possible to power a 10kW motor for 15 seconds with a 24 volt voltage drop. https://eepower.com/news/165357-2/
