Electric Dragin' 1/26/08 Results:
In response to the many requests we have received; we want to share the results of (our 1st ever exclusive electric-drive EVent) with everyone that helped us along the way and those that participated in our event. On Day 1: In summary we accomplished our goal to raise public awareness, raised $1,556.20 for San Diego Environmental Foundation and had the largest showing of clean, fast and fun vehicles that are electric and good for the environment. We are planning our second day for the near future and we will keep you informed. We will be presenting trophies and holding our "chance" drawing during our EVAOSD February 26, 2008 Meeting.

Jim
Husted of Hi Torque Electric has donated a Dragin' Green
Motor to be raffled at the EVent.
 " This was a motor that started out life as a 36 volt Crown forklift drive motor (one from a pair). It's a 6.7, 55ish lbs (maybe a measured weight, hehe) motor that was rated 36 volts OEM. Both end plates were swapped out with plates from a pump motor which are better suited for mounting and weight reduction. I drilled and tapped new holes to set the brush advancement timing at 7.5 degrees for a CCWDE rotation. I removed the old lift style shaft and installed one with a 7/8" X 2" 3/16" keyway for easy sprocket attachment. I topped it all off with little Dragin Green pigment to cap it all up. I've got it setup to run at 48 to 72 volts for best performance. It's always fun for me to take some old dragin scales and toss them together with some escence of Lightning and create something fun. Nothing to fancy,(or big), but enough there to get that lucky someone a motor for a cool little project. Jim Husted Hi-Torque Electric Proud member of the EV community " |
