    Hello. Question: would tesla motor can be use to produce electricity? Or tesla motor is completely different then AC/DC brushes motors? (I’m talking about motor only,disconnected from invertor,capacitors and CPU) I have i wind turbine business in EU, and looking for most efficient generators...
  2. All EV Conversions and Builds
    Good morning everyone! I know this is an odd, and potentially unrealistic, conversion and I figure I should lay down some basic expectations. My friends and I all have 2018-2019, high performance, sleds so I am not looking to break any land speed records, or reach unattainable ranges. In fact...

    Siemens ELFA-IGBT Inverter G650 + Generator 1FV5139 This looks like something from a windmill or boat maybe with that transmission, wow. He's got six motor/gens and inverters for each, selling individually. Wondering if anyone successfully used this combo in an EV...

    My thoughts of converting a car to electric power began when I couldn't get my 93 Geo Metro running right. While searching for tips on youtube, I watched several videos featuring them being converted. I have since corrected the problem and am once again happy with my pregnant roller skate...

    Hellow every one... I'm planning to build a custom built light weight (about 500kg) hybrid car. Motor will be a 5kw 72v motor. Battery's will be deep cycle, 24v | 10amp×5 total of 1.2kw-120v battery pack. Will a 120v 5Kw petrol/gas generator enough to charge the battery directly (using a dc...

    Hi Folks, I know this is an oft discussed and old subject but I'm throwing ti out again to see if I am off base. Subject: Range extending trailer What I've learned here and elsewhere: A gen big enough to power a car is too big and too costly. Most mileage extenders are...

    Is it possible to set up an all wheel drive ev with a motor driving the front wheels and another motor driving the back wheels, with the option of driving in two wheel drive mode and the second motor acting as a generator until all wheel drive is needed, and no, this is not meant to be a...

    Here is a very powerful high-end water cooled Siemens 1FV5139-6WS28 Permanent Magnet 3-phase AC Motor Generator for electric vehicles or hybrid applications. Azure Dynamics (formerly Solectria) used these massive top of the line Siemens units as generators in hybrid applications. They are also...

    Hi there I am at the beginning stages of converting a Hyundai accent to a hybrid vehicle. I have reasons why I chose to go with a hybrid instead of a full electric vehicle. My plan is simple - power the AC motor with a generator. I calculated that I'll need an 11hp motor at minimum (I used the...
  10. Technical Discussion
    I was just thinking about different ways you could utilize an outside (or rather, inside) power source to generate energy as you go. This is not a free energy post. I saw a concept car they were making in Thailand that was basically a pneumatic car. The point here is that they were using two...
  11. Batteries and Charging
    "...The EV has a 120 volt 24 amp generator installed to the DC electric drive motor (belt driven) connected to an on-board battery charger to recharge batteries when down shifting and cruising down hill..." How would this work? Would the generator always be engaged? How do you wire it to a...

    I really want to build an electric car, but it is not uncommon for me to make long trips, sometimes traveling more then 200km several times a month. because of this i would need to have a separate ice car to make these longer trips. Something that i think would be a waste of money, why spend all...

    Hello, This is my first post to these forms. I searched around a bit a could not find an answer to my question, but my apologies if this has already been asked. THis question is also running on the V is for Voltage forums here...
  14. Batteries and Charging
    So I wired a wind generator to a controller, battery, inverter and can power a battery and light a 40 watt bulb using a hand crank I made. Yippie for me. But the thought can I connect it to the front of my motor and regen 144V back when braking? How would I connect it to the 144V pack without...

    I need some electrical engineering help... I'm trying to use a NOR Gate Circuit to create an OFF/ON effect for an LED. The circuit works flawlessly when my car is off and using the Battery power... but I have a problem when the circuit is using the generator power. What do I need to do in...
  16. Batteries and Charging
    I have no experience in this stuff at all, but I'm eager and very interested to learn, so bear with me! My apologies if this has been discussed in another post, haven't come across any of it. I'd like to know how possible, feasible it would be to undertake a series hybrid motorcycle conversion...
