EVTV Friday Show - September 7, 2012

And another episode of EVTV ...

- John Deere Zero Turn Electric Lawn mower
- Electric Powered ski boat
- Ford Edge motor rebuild




A one Million USD electric car ....  !!??


EV Conversion Shop owner presents its work and thanks Jack for his great weekly show


A beautiful Karmann Ghia converted to electric drive


And a VW Beetle also converted to EV


The return of the John Deere Zero Turn electric Lawn mower: it is finished


The same Lightobject Dual Relay Voltmeter that I am using in my ESS is used here to cut off the charger once the battery pack reaches a certain voltage; This way Jack can use any charger, that is not purposely built and set up for this pack voltage  


The problem is... it is very loud when operating because of the hydrolic pumps and the blade


But it works great





Jack is thinking of converting a gorgeous little speed boat, called Aristocraft, to electric drive


Aristocraft


Aristocraft family



His wife's EV Ford Edge is originally a conversion from Norway (who forbid EV conversions after a fire caused by one of them in a ferry boat), sold to Jack few years ago
There seems to be a range problem, and the transmission had to be changed


The controller is a rare pice: One of the firsts Soliton 1 controllers, painted in red


Motor testing with machined cleaned commutator and new brushes
