Hi all I've been keeping up with the list on my phone but can't use it to reply ( . My part of this project was to try to make what the customer though was the way to do this, work. He picked a 2,600 lb 300hp sepex motor , because it weighed as much as the diesel engine . We started and ended with a 2k zilla hooked to the armature and a bank of relays and resistors to controller the field ( field rated at 300v 6 amp ) . Things seemed to be working pretty well until the Zilla erred he decided to switch to a contactor controller using heating elements and contactors . He felt 3 speeds would be enough and I tried to explain the move steps we had the less violent the change in speed would be between each step , but what did I know. First ride with this set up was quite entertaining nothing broke but the shift from medium to hi was specular . Next came a 7 step set with 40 or so hot water 2400 w heating elements in series ,parallel , all inside pipe with water . test run looked like a steam engine simi . It was some what more controllable but not really real world drivable. so , back to the zilla
It was hard to get real numbers as to power used with all the monkey play going on , I seem to remember 50 mph pulling 300 amps at 300v while cruising . The info in on one of the videos , . I would have liked to have used 2 net gain 11" seems like they would handled the 300 amps .
