footer746 How about a CVT and constant speed motor? – Theoretical question: What if you put a constant speed motor mated to a constant velocity transmission, not for the typical gear reduction of an...

fsabolich This would only simplify the control logic, the costly stuff - high power transistors, DC link capacitors, heat sink, etc. - would remain the same. ...

fsabolich Well, I suppose he was talking about actual/practical CVT. If you simply have a contactor, the CVT would have to have to have almost an infinite...

fsabolich If you look at an ideal motor, reducing field strength won't reduce horsepower, it'll simply keep it constant. So when you look at the power curve...

Josh and Jenifer Centrifical Clutch (was: How about a CVT and constant speed motor?) – What about using a large centrifical clutch behind the motor to a direct drive to a low geared rear end? Could you use a smaller say 9"...

gottdi Actually thought of that for an electric go cart. I have one (centrifical clutch) and a motor that would work for a go cart. Seems like it would...
