I know I can just get a smaller wheel, but I thought I might get lucky by using something to slow it down electrically.Small update: Payment has been made for new toy, new toy has been shipped this morning. If luck goes my way, I might even have it tomorrow, but I'm thinking more likely Thursday or even Friday if they are slack. Might be in store for a few late nights this weekend... |

I know I can just get a smaller wheel, but I thought I might get lucky by using something to slow it down electrically. Haven't seen your rig, but I'm guessing it's a single phase induction motor. This means it's brushless, so yeah a variable resistor won't do much. I'm thinking your control will need to be capacitive - changes the phase between voltage and current. Might be helpful to study washing machine setups, and controllers for ceiling fans.

Ok, so what was in the boxes?
Oh, just a little something courtesy of Snort and Magnuson.  I've always said I love low/midrange torque, this should have it in spades. :evillaugh |

Very nice!!
For a minute you had me thinking there was a bad a** V8 motor lined up for it or something when you mentioned the old motor was out and being sold off  Keen to see how this progresses!

But I decided that without spending tons on that engine, the car would just look like any other V8 Fairmont.I wanted something that would stand out, and this certainly stands out. I could have stuck with the other motor, but decided it is worth more to me in cash form. Plus this way I get to start with a fresh, 70,000km motor as the base and if the worst happens, then I only need to chase a wrecker special to get it running again. |
