we can use differential drive with 2 electrics, and no need to worry about a clutch/TC also, we'll be able to say we have experience working with hybrids

The motors we're looking at are rated at 36V, I think things start to melt if run much past that a small gas engine, lawn mower size

yep, anything's possible as we're designing this all ourselves the alt(s) will be spun at wherever their output peaks

whatever works, and yeah, we're looking at 110+ amps

Depends. Could be as simple as a custom regulator, or simply adding a transformer or DC to DC converter. The real question is, how much current will you need. A lot. This is for my senior design project. It has a hybrid drive train with an alternator powering 5hp worth of electric motors at 36 volts. How long does this have to live? A custom regulator should do the trick I'd imagine. long enough to show the prof that it works, basically just drive around a couple buildings on campus

I really wish GM Parts Direct would let me know if my stuff had shipped

Ryan, how hard would it be to modify a car alternator to charge a 36V battery bank?

oh Dave...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! :woot:

we both know that certain powers that be wishes he could say what you do say

Nifty.

If I want to scare the hell out of myself, I'll watch something like 'Nosferatu the Vampyre' with all the lights turned off and the sound turned up... if you like super-early horror, check out The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and The Golem

seriously. I'd take the lifted Linc over that chrome plated pile of poop any day of the week, month, year, decade, millennium...

did they really just see how god awful ugly they could make that car?

88* when I woke up, and high of 100* how about we average them?

You could always find one of those Aura full range 2"ers

Really out of RPMs? wow. I had an '88 cavalier with the 2.8 V6, even a 3 speed, and got it to 115 when I wanted to slow down. So that surprises me. 4100rpm it is a 250ci (4.1L) inline 6 sucking through a 1 barrel carb afterall
