If I need photos, I might be able to get them online, maybe.
What I have is, a GM 3 phase alternator/starter e-assist for added power for smaller engines.
There is no affordable to me off the shelf controller. A Curtis would be about $1100.00. I'm messaging several people about modding controllers.
Anyway, I have recently made a 3 phase 1.5 HP induction motor into a Perm Magnet generator for wind turbine, using the Zubbly technique. Took a lot of figuring and slight error fixing, but, seems ready to mount up for my wind turbine at around 500 RPM or so.
Question is, what is y'alls advice about redoing the rotor OR making a new one, to change the induction alternator into a Perm magnet motor. There are plenty of PMAC vehicle controllers on the market. This will hopefully power my 3 wheel motorcycle.
This motor has 75 stator poles and 56 rotor poles. I'm guessing the rotor to be 3-3.5" dia. X 4" long. This motor should turn up to 4500 RPM's and Zubblys cage design could be wrapped to help hold the cylindrical magnets along with the hi temp epoxy or resin. This also has a resolver that needs a circuit board to convert to an encoder for syncing the controller and motor so it works properly.
This thing is water cooled, so, heat should be held reasonably stable. At 80V and 550A out of the controller, it should give 40HP.
I know without pics this is all a guessing game, but, might it be possible and practical?? I'm game to try it since I did a fair job on the smaller induction motor. These things are cheap compared to an equivalent Perm Magnet Motor of this caliber.
Yeah, I'm also crazy.
