Holy flux! It hertz!

Seems like a nice conversion. Now if I could only understand the terminology better…

That's a home made controller! Very nice. What's the RPM limit of your motor? How many kilowatts will your inverter deliver?

The motor was rated 17k rpm, but I had to replace the bearings with sealed ones so max rpm is now 10k.

My inverter is rated 300A at 312V, so assuming it is 85% efficient it is putting out about 80kw.

Thanks

You can also check out more info about my inverter from my webpage… just put my user name in the address bar.

cheers

Single petal for go and break is great. The whole two petal system we have been fooled by for too long now.

Will that work in a panic stop?

Yes. Its call designing. Object collision detection. Just do not listen to the same old never changing stuff. Many Universities and auto makers have design auto driven cars. No panic stop. Panic is the problem not the solution.

Your answer has too much irrelevant information. What car maker has object collision detection? The driver is the problem. Suppose a driver, and I see a lot of this, tries to pass an oversize vehicle on the right and realizes it can't be done and needs to stop. Will the car stop itself? Is this what you are telling me?

I would explain angle control like center is gas pass center is brake and release petal is brake and lifting foot and reapplying causes a brake but this is too far beyond some peoples comprehension as they just take in what is told to them without critical thought and is all irrelevant anyway.

Your assumption leads to sacrcasm.

The video does not explain this. The author of the video would best qualified explain this not someone as condescending as you. I'm licensed to operate a vehicle with airbrakes THAT'S why I questioned it out curiosity NOT doubt. So many people today are driving into buildings becuase they can't find the damm brake pedal. Did you build a car like this?
I asked one simple queston and
too many eggheads on You Tube take shit too serious and insult each other over some dumb shit.
