also what about salvaging electric motors from cordless powertools? Especially moving into the lawn and garden arena, there's some pretty solid units out there.
First to let you know I am shocked and surprised at the same time what an effort been done to this project really impressed where the jump from fuel to electric power but is there any possibility to get this setup on the rc market I mean electric supercharger for Losi or mcd setup again good job been done and Wish you all the best Cheers
I am assuming this controller speaks to esc via the serial port (db9) or is for programming the map table? Can you describe the battery pack and how you have it connected? Was that 360A. Omg!!!
What filter SKU? What OD is the stock MAF sensor body? Thinking about hacking up my air box and sticking a pod filter on it but keeping the bottom part of air box for cold air intake. Leaving MAF sensor mounted to part of top of air box in stock position, not sure if I can fit a big enough filter. Will box up around it to keep engine heat out.
You'll need to connect a powerful vacuum cleaner at the end of your charge pipe to reproduce air intake from an internal combustion engine. A typical stock 8 cylinder engine can ingest about 400 to 500 CFM's at 5,000 RPM, your setup most overcome that flow to create boost or at least be efficient enough to create some power.
What's the torque like on the motor? Wouldn't it make more sense to take advantage of the DC motor advantage of torque and run it through a gearbox to the impeller?
So sick, I see the potential. They just need a DC to DC converter to used the cars 12-14v output and convert it to 15s (63v) power to eliminate the use of batteries. Also the 30100 motor not directly driven would turn that inducer faster and create more CFM. Maybe some kind of small gear box between the motor and compressor.
