Gav's EV Conversion 10 - Installing the Motor

Uploaded by: cant7think7clearly
Video Description:
The motor is in!
After a bit of a delay, the adapter plate has been created and mated to the gearbox, and the motor has been installed into the Tredia!
We had a few delays along the way with problems finding an engineer, our wedding being overseas, the adapter plate & motor not fitting in the first time, and THEN having to get a mounting bracket welded up.
Whew, there's a bit of work involved in getting the motor installed but at long last it's in!
I noticed in the video that we make that heavy motor look light & fluffy lowering it into the Mitsubishi. It is not. I think it was due to editing out all swearing and straining noises from the video.
:)
I can finally say the motor has been installed into the car and I think a big Yeeehhhaaaa is in order.
That's one small step for Gavin, but one giant leap for Gav's EV conversion.
Feel free to comment and offer tips and check out the installation in more detail at www.KiwiEV.com
ANOTHER UPDATE!!
I'm selling DVDs of the whole project for $15 USD at my website www.KiwiEV.com (That includes Airmail postage too!)
The quality's much better than on Youtube and it comes with an unreleased Bonus Video!

HI Gav. Great work ... ( 1 year ago by gettuff2)

HI Gav. Great work so far. Read with interest that you bought a high frequency charger. Heard a guy in Auck was reconditioning batteries but didn't know the chargers are available. Do you have a contact. Hope it work out without a clutch. Not so hard to put one in. Just need to mount the old flywheel onto the motor with an adapter boss.Probably would have been cheaper to make than the splined adapter.All the best .Grant.

Hi Grant! The high frequency battery conditioner I bought from Jaycar. Still not 100% certain it's fixed any of the dead batteries I bring home from the local Telephone Exchange rubbish bins but we'll see... :)

Thanks for the vids. You are an inspiration. I wish there were more vids like yours.
I love how you just dive into things. Cutting up the heater core with pruning shears was hilarious.
I found your vids while looking for the Tesla sports car. I wish someone made something affordable like that in the U.S.. I'm kind of glad gas prices have gone up. Maybe U.S. car makers will think smaller now, and electric :) It looks like I'll have to make my own though.

"Super Cheap Motors"? I hope you got grade 10 bolts. Don't go cheap on bolt man. Make sure they are a high grade. They only cost a few dollars more but they are much much stronger. They should be a yelowish-gold color.

NO NO NO NO NO! You ... ( 5 months ago by ahset)

NO NO NO NO NO! You NEVER test the motor like that. You always have POSITIVE(RED) on the battery terminal first and then NEGATIVE(BLACK). That battery is live. Be careful next time!

Well viewing at the motor I think that he only used the red one for negative and the black one for positive.

I see your point, ... ( 4 months ago by ahset)

I see your point, but if you notice, the second time he tests the motor, the red terminal sparks when he connects it. This means that the terminal is positive and it is live. If you were to try that with the negative side, it wouldn't spark. Maybe he wired it wrong the second time and not the first time? Well, no assuming that the first battery is the same battery he used during the second test. And you can use perspective to determine the position the battery was facing.

Well viewing on the ... ( 4 months ago by Windradgucker)

Well viewing on the battery it s clear to see, that he first connected the - and then the +. (well for european batteries, maybe downunder they are different like the seasons and "the in the wrong direction flushing toilets" lol)
In DC it does not matter where you close the circle, there are always 12V and the flowing amperage is determined by the resistance(U=R*I) so there can be sparks too, no matter which order you connect it.
