dont mind me asking about (schweisshund ).. wanted to check his progress. but noticed that he's was considered guest?.... what happenend?..
inquiring minds wants to know... Thanx
He probably look for someone who are wonk on Hydrogen and other alternative fuel. We all can learn and help even make suggestions. Being a team would help to get some of us motivated.
My friend recently AIM'd me that he was thinking about building electric car. I replied that it would cost him nearly $3000 if he can obtain parts from his work (he's a welder for garbage co.). I explained him that Hydrogen is cheaper to build than electric or cheap or free power source for car.
To build electric car, you'll need 6 or 8 banks of 12vdc deep cycle battieres, inverter (converts from DC to AC), Electric or Electronic speed control (can be obtain from forklift or PIE (powered industrial equiptment) manufacturer, thick cabled wires, ammeters, and high amperage fuse.
Electric motor can be around 25 to 100 hp depending on torque and voltage requirment to run the car even it's size (u don't want to drop in Elevator motor in car lol). Can be DC or AC. BUT there are ways to reduce weight by using Planetary gear which commonly in cordless drills (also corded too). Electric motor typically spins about 10,000 rpm or more, if using Plantetary gear, it'll reduce to 4,000 to 6,000 rpm but produces high torque rating that would be enough to run a car on highway speed even pass other cars. Also lighter weight too. For voltage to run electric motor, A/C is better than DC cuz it uses thinner wires on higher voltage than DC which use thicker wires.
I would guess building Hydrogen reactor and pulsewave generator would cost less than $500. Pulsewave generator will produce high amperage pulse for electrosys. Depending on number of plating and it's spacing. It depend if anyone have parts locally or online.
I have read about air powered car. But it requires big air tank and compressor to run a car. I have diagram on V8 air powered engine lol. It require lot modification on engine. Anyone who have machine shop and experience in welding would be lucky.
Hope that one of us would start the projects. I would want to start Hydrogen project but don't have enuf $$ to cover. I already bought 1/2 of electronics parts but need to find and order specific parts before I put it togther for Hydrogen experiment.
