It is time to take our FIRST DRIVE in my Electric Hummer! Get your first month FREE with any Kiwico Subscription: www.kiwico.com... This day has been in the works for a very long time. I started taking apart my Military Hummer January of 2021, and here we are taking it for a spin with its electric motors in February of 2022. A full year of hard work and learning later. Thank you for joining me on this adventure! Its been super fun and we have a lot more work to do! Should we add some Solar panels to the top?! I think so.

That high pitched noise is probably FOC - “Field Oriented Control”. It’s a method for controlling motors at slow speeds and many controllers switch it off at a steady state. Your motor controller probably has some configuration around this, you have a lot of inertia so once your moving you can probably shift over - experiment with the cutoff to get lowest noise / smoothest acceleration.

@ScarletFlames1 2 года назад

For something with the weight of a standard ICE hummer 20 kmph (16mph-ish) for the acceleration to switch to a higher speed. That's the maximum I'd say, could easily even go for half that. It's mostly a setting of "how fast are you going to go offroading to the point your motor can't push at standard settings?"

@Jesus is LORD Sorry fam, I'm agnostic with what book I wipe my ass with. But I find bibles to be especially soft on my sensitive skin.

@weskopr 2 года назад

I am willing to bet, that it runs on Vector control (FOC) over the full range. The whine comes from motor coil resonance due to switching frequency. At low speeds the PWM signal is at low duty cycle, which creates a rather drastic change in magnetic flux in the coils, which in turn makes them vibrate.

@anythingrc4715 2 года назад

@@bluephreakr AHAHAHA needed to be said to these bible bashers

@thelunden16 2 года назад

It is probably running FOC, though it is usually not turned off to my knowledge. But there is usually a high frequency injection happening (at least with sensorless FOC) at low speeds to estimate the direction of the rotor. At higer speed it is not needed since the induced voltage from the magnets (into the windings) are much bigger than any other voltage drops and can therefore be used to estimate the direction of the rotor. But it could also be an inverter with variable switching frequency as @Veselin Georgiev says.

@yagineko 2 года назад

The high pitched whine that they were talking about is the DC braking feature of the motor controller. It's applies a PWM signal to the windings of the motor to hold it in position when momentum, gravity, or some other force is causing it to move when you're telling the motor to stop. High frequency switching (PWM) makes noise because of efficiency losses (sound, heat, light, etc.).

@florrieflorrie4577 2 года назад

You dont get a high pitched whine from a tesla or bmw

@yagineko 2 года назад

@@florrieflorrie4577 I'm not sure what sort of methods Tesla or BMW employs for their motor controllers. They could be using regenerative braking. Depending on the gearing or noise dampening involved, this can be relatively quiet. The DC braking that I think was used here can also be quieter. When they close up the hole in the cabin that goes straight to the engine compartment it should dampen it. High frequencies don't penetrate walls as easily as low frequency.

@weskopr 2 года назад

Generally, when you assemble high power electrical leads, it is good practice to mark the mounting hardware, so that you know it has been properly torqued and it hasn't moved. Loose joints can create cool fires 😁 Also that whine you hear is coil whine from the motor. You can try to change carrier frequency of the inverter to minimize it.

@Lizlodude 2 года назад

That 3 AM test drive of a project never gets old lol. Also, that whine sounds like the PWM frequency of the speed controller/inverter, it might be switching drive modes at different speeds? Should be able to be tuned out with some settings. From my experience ESCs tend to do that when they're running in sensorless mode. I assume that motor has an encoder but it may need some configuring.

@scellyyt 2 года назад

I believe the reason the motor makes that high pitched sound when it starts from a stop is the ESC in a special high torque mode that pushes more current to the motor, similar to the sound hybrid cars make when they start rolling. It's sort of like a first gear.

I was wondering that, too. But then again, it's the US, so if it rolls n breaks, it's probably street-legal :-D I know in Germany it's very difficult to get a license plate for any kind of EV conversion as you have to get it examined by an official authority, which is quite expensive. And if you fail the examination, you have to fix the issues and redo the process, until you pass everything. It can end up costing many thousands of euros just to get a permit to run on public roads... And if you are not an expert in what you are doing it will be very difficult to build an EV up to code in the first place. Every wire, fastener, connector, mount, etc is tested and has to be up to code in its own right. It's not an easy process. It's all in the name of safety though, and I think it's ok. Sucks that you can't easily convert your own car. But prevents unsafe cars to be on the road. So overall, I am not too mad about it.

@nicholasaitken1415 2 года назад

I think it should be ok. The hole would reduce shear capacity mostly. The majority of bending capacity is provided by the top and bottom flanges which are intact and so there shouldn’t be much if any additional flex. I would be more concerned if the top and bottom of the section are cut.

Out of everything that is just plain amazingly awesome and high-tech, what I love most is how clean everything is on fitment and presentation. It is a piece of art, like each piece was specifically designed for this one purpose. Amazing job Zack!

this guy made an entire electric truck and companies are struggling even after launching before this guys started working on this project. I am following JRE, may be just because of this project, but I have to say this series is the best one you can find on the RU-vid for any DIY stuff. respect man!

This was one of the most satisfying videos to watch in this series, yet!.. and not just because of the major milestone but also for all the detail in how those battery boxes are constructed. Impressive. Congrats!

as an engineering student this project is so fascinating and watching your videos for this series for twice or thrice like a kid watching cartoons 😅 and also I can almost feel wind through my hair as the Hummer is started 🔥

“Overkill is a good thing” This is the difference between engineering on the fly and engineering to make a profit. Engineering on the fly is not as financially constrained since it is based off of your cash flow. Let the project take longer and you have more money to spend on the project. Engineering for mass production means every time the design saves money that ends up being money you can spend on more features or more RnD for your next product.

Awesome Build!. "If it's worth engineering, it's worth over-engineering!" I laughed, that after you have put so much time and effort into the project, you still seem surprised and excited that it actually works. Best feeling in the world, that sense of achievement on the first drive of a new project vehicle. Keep up the good work. ;-)

Have been waiting for this day all along and here we are.. so amazing to see this finally come together on its feet(or wheels rather ).. the entire journey has been so absorbing and equally connecting to the viewers.. i'm sure many of us started clapping around on seeing it move for the first time.. Thank You Jerry for this series and making us all part of the experience.

Such a brilliant series Zack! I wait so eagerly for these!! Couple of questions 1. The metal box is so tightly enclosed (including water seal) but the front portion seemingly has a gap? Was this explained somewhere in case I missed? 2. What are your thoughts on that metal box not being easy to tear apart? What is some battery module dies, wouldn't the replacement be super hard? 3. Thanks for mentioning the whining noise. When in your previous video you had it installed, I saw no comments and thought I am the only one hearing the tinnitus like whine. Is it from the inverter? 4. Are there sensors inside battery enclosures that does monitoring for you and show alerts?

@Encrypt- 2 года назад

Yeah and head didn't use thread tape for the breather valve or other threads which seems a bit odd since he went to such a measure to seal it

@wolfgangornig3556 2 года назад

@@Encrypt- no need for extra sealing because there is an O-ring that does the sealing.

@eDoc2020 2 года назад

I'm pretty sure the whining is due to the inverter. Actually the noise itself probably comes from the motor but it's because of the inverter switching. Other electric vehicles definitely make the same noise.

@Encrypt- 2 года назад

@@wolfgangornig3556 ahhh I see the o ring when he shows the breather at the start just not when screwing it in! Still not sure about the o ring threads or the big hole in the top of the box though

Awesome job! The whine is extremely annoying though, reminds me of some of my RC cars, in rc it is usually fixed by adjusting PWM settings, not sure if it applies here. My current RC powered by sensored BLDC motor with foc control is completely silent and so is my sur ron ebike, so there must me solution out there, keep up good work!

JFYI: lifting eye's are meant to be lifted on in the same plane as the ring. Washer's (ideally hardened) can be used to time the eye to the correct angle. Not a big deal for ~100lbs per eye but I have seen them snap, and a 2"UNC eye's base bent and cut into a grade 8 washer..
