What kind of performance would the Tesla have - Page 7 - RC-Monster Forums

Now the 10th drawing tells you what kind of thinking I was doing back then. An 8-speed manual transmission, 0-60 and 1/4 mile numbers That at the moment I really don't know how I came up with

. Now the top speed is up there, but from my thinking, with that much power

it's possible. Now in drawing 11 and 12 I have some forced induction ideas. Back then, I thought I was nuts by having twin superchargers blowing into a few turbos. The AWD I have to give credit to Audi.

Simply amazing, Capstone claims 80-90% efficiency for their lineup of turbines, that is simply fantastic. Now I assume yes, bu do they come with built in generator? If the 30kw unit is light enough, and cheap enough, I am for sure going to consider it for my next electric conversion, which will be an AWD Skyline model most likely, if not, then a 4WD truck, such as a Toyota Tacoma.

I have 4 extra Siemens AC drives sittings around, which are each capable of 200kW(270hp) if driven by the right Inverter/Controller. That should make any car or truck a blast to drive.

Using some sort of power buffer, be it ultra caps, preferably not as the gen. set would run 100% of the time then. Or a powerful durable battery such as an A123 pack, or if you have more cost effective cell please share.

You can also see that I drew a few mini vans. Again more engine and twin forced induction idea. Think about the power that 6 cylinder there would make

?

Yes, the generator is built in. Did you get my last e-mail? I posted a link for a place that sells used 30Kw units. Contact Gaia on the cell, they are similar in format as the ones I sent you data on, but put out less power. I know there are plenty of good place in Canada as well.

Drawing 17 is a bit funny. I put a price there, but can't remember what it was for. That one has a rear drive only and I carried the twin induction idea to it. Drawing 19 was inspired on a Porsche.

lutach · 02.03.2010, 05:47 PM

As you can see AWD is something I like a lot.

lutach · 02.03.2010, 05:52 PM

Another mini van in drawing 25. Drawing 27 was also inspired by a Porsche, but not the rear section. I started to draw a front end in drawing 28, but never finished it.

zeropointbug · 02.03.2010, 05:52 PM

hehe, nice sketches... I have made some pretty crude sketches of my car project as well a few years ago. I should find them, scan, and post em up.

lutach · 02.03.2010, 05:58 PM

I had the same issue in drawing 29, but the others I managed to finish them. They might look a bit crazy, but I can't draw at all. The pictures in my head is completely different from the drawings as I can visualize them in better detail. Drawing 32 shows a idea I had for a race car set up.

Every time I look at them, I can't beleive I made them almost 20yrs ago. I wish I knew how to draw.

lutach · 02.03.2010, 06:03 PM

Now some engines and other goodies. All of them are flat style engines.

lutach · 02.03.2010, 06:05 PM

Now the last 2 are V style and I drew the twin induction idea.

lutach · 02.03.2010, 06:07 PM

Ok, now let the insulting begin

Amazes me that you kept all your old drawings.

20 years ago I was drawing up all kind of speaker boxes. Closest thing to a brushless motor was the speaker motor assembly.

I knew one day some of the things I drew back then would somehow become true. I don't know when the twin induction set up was invented, but I've read about a few that was made not so long ago. There are some things in my drawings that I think are still unique. Some of the drawing you can see some black things on the bottom of the car. At the time I had an idea of those being used as air brakes and also to help in hard cornering. They would pop open and channel air to help achieve it.
