Episode 1 of "Sanayi Savaslari" aired today.

Decent responses so far.


Here's the ful episode. No subtitles, no translation at this point.

I NEED ENGLISH (or Spanish, or even German, if they're simple enough) SUBTITLES!

I like this. Not too sure about the belt surviving any meaningful torque even with that huge pulley, and that idler bearing is not going to be happy, but still a clever idea.

Is that an alternator or something?

Oscar 10-31-2016 02:36 PM

Massive electric supercharger judging by the wiring :giggle:

Hmmm.

Some of those old Root-type blowers you see poking through the hoods of Camaros easily pulled 75-100 HP on the shaft, and that motor doesn't looks big enough to be producing / consuming anywhere near that.

How much power do you think that motor can produce Joe?

Hard to say without knowing the voltage its running at, and having a better idea of the physical size.

Polyphase AC motors from Curtis which appear outwardly similar are rated in the neighborhood of 60-90 HP (peak) when running at max rated power (generally up to 144v at up to 500-600A.)

triple88a 10-31-2016 03:30 PM

Well the warp 9 motors are about the same size.

It's hard to find official datasheeets for most of the brushed DC motors. At rated voltage, they produce quite a bit less HP than most of the AC motors, but then most hod-rodders don't run them at rated voltage.

Still, the motor in the photo is clearly a brushless 3-phase AC motor.

I'm pretty sure the main function of that motor is providing low rpm torque to help the engine climb to its powerband..

I struggle to see any other explanation for the cog belt setup.
That belt would be unpleasant under load at high rpm.


Or, I could be wrong.


Edit before I am publicly humiliated:

I guess I am wrong.
Timing belts are cog belts and they do just fine at all revs with valvetrain load. And shock. And rapid acceleration.

So there.
