John That is amazing to me man....i mean I have seen some monster electric motors before but 3k HP is nutz ...... I know the motors they used on the draw bridges in South Florida where I used to live were big DC I believe and they lifted some amazing loads via counterbalance and gearing. Lots of industrial application for motors like this. I also find it interesting that there is so much resistance to electric vehicles in the world when so many of the largest and most powerful vehicles are moved with electric power. It is an awesome force and must be interesting to work in that field. Peace
