Coming out of hibernation, the 48 volt pack
is reading 22.

That looks like some crafty engineering work.

Tell us more please!

          Okay Phil.  Surely you knew that you were going to have to show and tell more than that!
         Come on guy, "Inquiring Minds Want To Know!"

Uncrash & Bill

The machine runs a seven inch traction motor (fork lift type) which could power a car with enough voltage.
I only run 48 volts.
Stearing is by jockey stick
Power transfer is by a Curtis electronic speed controller. Curtis controllers were in the lunar rovers.
It takes the feed from my gas peddle (potentiometer) chops the voltage 15,000
times a second--varying the on time to the off time--producing smooth efficient power.
The machine also tilts into corners--why not ?--huh.

        Phil, you never cease to amaze me at the kind of things you come up with. That is really something else! Thanks for sharing.
