A transmission, especially a manual will greatly increase the efficiency of a motor. And using the transmission reverse gets rid of a bunch of electronics and greatly increases electrical safety by not switching polarity on the motor. And you should still use the clutch so you dont mess up the transmission.
You can add transmission to any electric motor like in a robot or EV and it will make it even better in terms of torque speed curve but because of weight they don't. I have two Teslas no oil change for last 6 years no gearbox ! But certain applications like helicopters you really need a gear box so to make it direct drive like cars you need very special new kind of motors that I'm developing.
I love what you guys and gals are doing. I have a 94 GT mustang that would love to go electric! We need custom electric cars here in the Maritimes! CANADIAN SUPERMAN APPROVES
it’s a question of having a gearbox that will last! If your going from a big diesel and have a small electric motor then you might be ok. The torque from an Electric motor can spell death to them. Porsche do have just a 2 speed transmission on their EV. Most have just opted for a single speed and if you want 4WD then just have 2 motors. Installation wise it’s nicer, no transmission in the middle of the vehicle or props. Room for the battery that what way and superior handling from keeping the masses with the wheelbase and you can get 50/50 distribution. In the end it’s all a compromise. Take care M.
Your right you pull the plug wire off of em and just before you hit tdc yo ignite and it runs backwards. All my vehicles are 4 strikers so they only go forward but I appreciate your in site
We went forward by going back. Instead of changing the ICE engine with an electric and keeping everything else the same we went direct drive with high inefficiency on the motorway. But the same way a camera manufacturer has the technology for 100MP sensor but they will not sell it before everything else is sold the same applies here.... dumb marketing and profit cuts in the way of technology. Again.
@@WebbMotorworks :Sorry.I should've been more specific. When you were driving the F-150 and showed the dash as you were driving,you got up to 60 mph and the tach was at 1000 RPM. That was amazing.
@@ebayerr up in Canada the odometer shows km in the big letters haha. They are amazing motors though v6 with twin turbos fuely, better than any v8 I have ever owned!
@@ebayerr I have owned it for seven years and never had to put gas in it!!! Haha not sure but really good though. They have hit it on efficiency and the truck has tons of snot and can haul 11000 pounds with a v6 !
@@WebbMotorworks no it was my mistake, I misheard you explain how many rotations per mile. I heard 580 something and my dyslexia related that figure to 5280. Rotations equalling feet/mi made me think 12in circumference. Dyslexia is a hell of a drug haha. Keep up the great work! Really want to see a transfercase mounted motor for truck hybridization. Or maybe even a driveshaft motor, or differential cover replacement that is a motor.
@suntzu6122 the world of EV tech is updated everyday. By the end of the week my question was answered. They answered it by providing another solution, the Torque Box. That is a kind of gear reduction box, much like a manual transmission without the clutch. But their is a kind of centrifugal clutch. The moral of the story is just a bit and progress will answer any question with a better solution.
HahA I always screw that up,these videos I do are unscripted,I just ya k from the seat of my pants. My apologies .Gas engines can be called motors,but electric motors ,should not be called engines ,even though in Merian…Marian? Hmm Webster dictionary the definition is sometimes interpreted as the same.
ok at 34 seconds in this guy just proved hes full of crap. A gasoline engine doesnt "always run at about 7 or 800 rpm. thats idle for a v8 and 4 cylinders can idle at 800-1000. Typical cruis speeds on a v engine is about 1200 with red line in the 5-6000 range. 4 cyl cruise at 2000-2500 rpm and redline in the 6-7000 range. and to all the EV cult members, yes ive been a mechanic for 40 years.
😂Sorry maddhater,Thankyou for pointing out my mistake. You are correct. I should have said at idle,,when in neutral, or clutch is depressed at a standstill while in gear , a gas motor rotates around 700 to 1000 rpm . I just put an a iPhone on a tripod and talk. I should probably spend more time analyzing and editing my videos.😊
