440 UMOC and AC55 Motors 2nd hand
$ 700 bux in port charges is a bit rude do they spray it with gold plate on its way through ? i have purchased plenty of stuff from the US ( under $ 1000 each ) , but no charges by australia post hope they can send by UPS if its a 16 kg controller and bypass the customs gold plating department.

Might I ask what you want to do with it? At 45kg I doubt you'll be putting it in an eV for charging... i have a constantly open mind always looking for ways to use what i find around me. its worth $ 65 in scrap value , so thats what i paid for it , hoping that might obligate the risk of me not find...

AC-144-50 Electric propulsion system
little bit off topic , but these solar inverters have a very broad DC input range ( 180 - 950 VDC ) , and 415 VAC 3 phase
not suitable for us at only 10 kW , but it would be nice to know what sort of construction they use

If you are using a single sensor (or 2) then the sound card I/P could be made to work - then use Audacity to record. You would have to take DC or AC coupled input of sound card into account. haha brilliant might need a pot to adjust levels if the soundcard driver doesnt have enough range ? i have p...

thanks weber
what kind of values would the components need to be ?
at least i can get a rough idea of parts costs for something like that
will let you know when i find a prius one to strip down

big batteries and step up DC converters
dang looks like the 2004 Prius DC-DC converter is only 20 kW Oh, right. The MG2 motor is 50 kW (60 kW in the 2010), but a lot of the time, most of that power comes from MG1 (driven by the ICE). In fact, I think you need almost the full 20 kW from the battery, plus 35 kW (maybe plus a little) from M...

Also the cost to build such a DC-DC would be more than the cost of the BMS to monitor lots of cell to equal the high voltage. at a guess a Prius Dc-DC converter would be around $ 200 at a wreckers woodentit ? I have not got a reply on prices yet , but i think the Prius battery packs would be in hig...

Is it possible to make a VFD controller from scratch that would take 64 volts and invert to 0 - 200 Hz / 400 VAC ? ? ? So I'd say that this idea is dead. It's probably better, as Toyota decided, to go with a bidirectional boost converter optimised for efficiency than to attempt this topology. thank...

big batteries and step up DC converters
a bidirectional DC-DC converter just uses a transistor instead of a diode, so that part is easy. Obviously running a normal VFD from the DC-DC converter is the easiest method, but you could just do a custom low voltage controller and use a low voltage motor (or rewind). a step-up DC-DC converter is...
