Take a page from the people who gut old 1970's and 80's computers to install modern innards. Casemod the motor/generator. Gut the motor part and find the most powerful single phase motor you can find that'll fit inside. Of course there would be plenty of machining to do, also cutting the shaft and using a coupler if the motor and generator are on a single, solid shaft. What's available for brushless, permanent magnet DC motors, and is there a solid state, non-variable output power supply to match? I'd expect a BLDC sise to fit inside the gutted AC motor part of the case to be available at a higher HP rating than a similar sized AC motor with field windings. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try New Relic Now & We'll Send You this Cool Shirt New Relic is the only SaaS-based application performance monitoring service that delivers powerful full stack analytics.
