A/C Completed

Some Conversions are set up nice for A/C.  this S10 was especially a nice set up.

Remember... when you are sitting at a Street light, your Electric Motor IS NOT turning, so for a brief period of time, the A/C is not working, but that changes with the LIGHT changing to GREEN and your EV moving ahead.

 2014 TOUR:
First Stop:..................... COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS
They say EVERYTHING is BIGGER IN TEXAS.... well True to their Motto our FIRST STOP is for
1979 R686 MACK TRUCK
Yes,... you saw this correct... Scott has decided AFTER.. converting his F150 Ford to all Electric that he wants his MACK TRUCK Electric.
This is the BALDOR Motor... Like I SAID....everything is "BIG-N-BEEFY" here in Texas !!!!!
This is the MONSTER 2,600lbs S.E.P.E.X. motor sitting IN the truck.
These are 48 ... 200ah cells... part of the 400 Cells going IN this project...
BUTCH welding up
the Battery Boxes.
Getting the FIRST set of Batteries IN the Battery Boxes. 200 of the 200ah Cells on each side of the truck for a total of 400 cells
CHARGING STATION for all these Batteries... A STEVE CLUNN Original CHARGER !!!
2 ... 25kw Transformers for a 50kw charger, giving a 5 hour charge time. ( IF all goes well lol).
Whoooot Whooooo Getting Excited here... .... BATTERIES GOING IN !!!
Battery Boxes DONE.... and ready !!!!
FIRST battery box..!!

IT LIVES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It past DOT in TEXAS !!!

We went to a gravel yard that is about 5 miles away and picked up a load
of gravel. The truck and trailer together with the empty trailer weighs 34,860
lbs. The weight of the load by its self is 47,920 lbs gross weight
82,7800 lbs. On the way back with the load of gravel that weighs more
than the truck the performance was about the same . With 2 amp on the
field the motor will top out at about 400 amp . With the field at full
power the motor's RPM is so low that the automatic tranny won't shift
and max amps are about 150amp. Right now Scott ( my customer) is using
200 ah Real Force (96 cells) and the plan is for 4 sets of them giving
800 ah . The 10 miles trip used 96 ah or 30kwh. I was expecting better
performance than this as the 10kwh = one gallon rule with the truck
getting 7 mpg , it should get about 20 miles on 10 kwh. The automatic
tranny makes lots of noise and vibration so this may be where the loss
is . Another factor might but that the diesel engine set up in these
trucks is more efficient than car gas engines. Scott is very happy ,
with the set up and that's what counts
Loading up the ELECTRIC 18 Wheeler !!

Something about turning metal... it must be a guy thing ! Hub out of Old Clutch Disk
We put a bolt in to hold the Clutch Hub to the Lovjoy, Welded Lovjob
so it won't move when welded
Spacer to keep Lovejoy coupler from sliding Spline should sit low enough on shaft that clutch
too far down on the spline shaft. hub is totally covered, but is not rubbing on throw
out bearing collar. ( no need for throw out bearing
any longer).
Cutting Plate for centering washers
Drilling the Plate Welding the Plate centering washers
Transmission Plate. Nuts welded on plate to hold Both Motor Plates Mounted and ready to go.

Time out for some fun with Torque.
How much Torque does one of these Motors make in a stalled Motor state?
Well... Scott wants to know. Fish weight Scale tied to a 150lb motor and we put one OLD Lithium battery to the motor. Voltage drops to 1.5V, 100amps and we get 10lbs of Torque.
3V, 200amps and we are seeing 40lbs. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh fish weight scale only goes up to 50lbs!

Saying Good bye... BUT.. we will see Laurent in January of 2013 with his wife..and by then new son !!

All done for now !! See you soon.

January 14, 2012 ........ WELCOME MICHAEL R. Mike is participating in our "ASSISTED PROGRAM".

Michael has a 2001 Honda Civic he wants to convert from Gas to Electric. He and steve started this project on January 14th.. This is a "no rush job" , as Michael has time and money, he will come to our shop and work on HIS project. His GOAL is to have this converted and READY for SHOW AND SHINE at our 14th Annual Electric Car Rally on April 28th !!

Come on Folks.. give this man some applause !!! Lets see if he can do it !!

This is great hands on experience for our customers. Assisted Program is only $45.00 per hour ( vs. our regular Full Service Conversion rate of $60.00 an hour) IF Steve helps. If our customer can work on his own, no charge, and IF he can be doing something while STEVE is doing something then two jobs get done for the one fee of Steve's time.

Day 1 : First... out comes the GAS Motor.:

DAY 2: They then removed the Exhaust System and Gas tank... Cut out the Trunk area and started to make Battery Boxes. Mike decided on NO AC. We could have kept it, but that would take a little of the Battery energy.

Michael has decided on GOLF CART BATTERIES for this conversion. 6V Golf Cart Batteries are economical, but give good service, good Amps and good performance. Steve Started the Battery Racks today while Mike worked on the AC and cleaning up the front engine compartment.

DAY 3. Starting on Adaper Plate:


This is the Plate for the Motor. We will grind this hole out in the center to exactly 4". Which is the size of the "lip" on the Motor.


We took the Clutch Disc, removed the revits and the clutch pads until all that was left were the spring holders and Spline Hub. We cut the Spring Holders off and machined the hub to be the same diameter.

Here is the Lovjoy Hub, boared out to fit the Spline Clutch Disc Hub.


This is the HUB pressed in to the Lovjoy Coupler. We put a large bolt through this and tighten it down

We are using a Lovjoy Hub, size L110.

Michael was called home........soooo Stay tuned for his next visit to the Green Shed to complete his EV.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

HEEEEEE"S BACK !!!! - March 2012

Steve and Mike (PAMPAW to his grandchildren) got the Motor IN the Honda Now Know as the MPR CAR, New CV Joints, and a FIRST ride... all in 2 days time !!

It was a very tight fit for the WarP 9 Motor, but there was just enough room, to be able to hang the Power Steering pump from the Front of the motor and power it from the Tail Shaft.

Never too Young !!

Some kids really enjoy working with tools and spending a day working at the Green Shed. Here Meaghan shows off her full days work ! She and Steve converted an old smelly gas mini bike to this Lithium Powered Electric Fun Cycle !!

 

Where's that chain guard?

Meaghan spotted an old motor lying around the shop and it happen to fit perfectly !!!

 


This project only took Steve and Meaghan about 7 hours to complete ... For many kids there is one thing that highlights their summer vacation... Building an Electric Vehicle sure beats being stuck indoors, playing video games all day or hanging out at the Mall !!

Steve gave Meaghan plenty to do on her own. She bolted and un-bolted most of the bolts and even took a stab at Welding !
