Wow, this is fantastic. I definatley want to bulid one now. I used to build robots back in H.S., and this reminds me of that exactly. If you haven't already... you need to document this with pictures, and part list online.
What type of motors did you use? Did you use a mosfet speed controller, and if so does the speed controller have a "break mode" that you are using to stop quickly? Did you build this frame from scratch, or did you convert an old tractor to electric?
the telephone companies, roughly every five to twenty miles apart, have buried beneath the ground huge DC batteries, 32 volt batteries with booster transmission apparatuses, which last @ twenty years, and get a slow charge continually from the electric utility grids. do you think the telephone companies rely upon faulty or unreliable batteries or electrical tech knowlogy to run their businesses?
@pvelectric p.s. the oversupply of voltage is regulated so that every customer receives 3 volts of electric current through his phone wires, the two live positive and negative ones, excluding the two grounding wires. for each phone.
@pvelectric As you said they are boosters and ment to run the phone system in a power outage, they never are fully charged discharged which is what kills batteries,I'v seen these banfs as my dad worked for the phone company,the first backup is a diesel generator then batteries.
@davetileguy you ought to watch my solar charged Taylor Dunne Warehouse EV climb a 45 degree hill, using a 1965 FORD MUSTANG DIFFERENTIAL DRIVING THE RER AXIL. NO STOPPING, NO SMOKE, NO SWEAT, it just KNOWS IT CAN KNOWS IT CAN KNOWS IT CAN!
@davetileguy will include in msg hint at the capability. meanwhile, consider these facts as of now: Six years ago the US Dept. of Energy stats gave US use of renewable electric generating as 3 percent. Now nearly 15% of US electricity is from RE. 75 percent of my house is powered by solar panels, so the backwards low tech US government, and people, have a lot of catching up to do to match my advanced energy solutions (and my having reduced my electric bill by an average of $150 per month).
I appreciate your engineering, but you could never do any real work with an electric tractor. Maybe for an orchard tractor or something, but try pulling a 30' disc or something for 12 hours per day. You would need a 500 amp extension cord plugged directly into the mainline.
@oisiaa the huge batteries mounted on top of the disc could hold down the blades for a max depth of say 18", a diesel generator could easily provide that voltage to power the tractor as long as you want, within reasonable tank sizing. Remember, diesel trains hundreds of miles long are run by electricity generated by diesel engines, because internal combustion engines lack sufficient torque to pull loads of that weight and length.
@pvelectric Nobody discs 18 inches deep. Trains are not "hundreds of miles long". A diesel generator would defeat the purpose of this. Internal combustion engines do not lack torque to pull heavy loads (that is what transmissions are for).
All my original comment was stating is that it would take an enormous battery to be able to do a day's work. If the entire hood of a normal tractor was an enormous battery then it might have enough power for a normal day's amount of field work.
@oisiaa that's funny, 18 inches was the standard for our ranch discing on every field we were growing alphalfa uon.. diesel engines function as generators providing the electric motors with the megawatts needed, has nothing to do with "gears."
@oisiaa Let me be certain about current capacities with my forme bosses about this, and will get back to you on it. Meanwhile, I appreciate your challanging remarks, so am gonna subscribe to you, okay? One learns from truth colliding with error,
@pvelectric Awesome response! I was being a little bit of a dick, but I agree that the only way to learn is to challenge what you know and seek out the correct answer. I'll reciprocate the subscription.
Great work, man. For ten years a big US producer of golf course landscaping and mowing machines (owner sort of a friend of mine), has been waiting, and waiting and waiting, and...for a Dutch firm to perfect electric powered vehicles-machines. You've already done it, since an added PTO could enable a disc, ripper, rototiller to be towed behind it-hit the ground running, email Obama!!! Yipes!!! American inventors rule!
@pvelectric you have no grasp of physics,or energy stored in petroleum,a gallon of gasoline is = to 20 sticks of dynomite.until we have nano batt. tech,there is not a chance,try reseaching instead of blindly hoping.
@davetileguy yeah sure, and that gallon of 20 sticks of dynamite are outputting hundreds of horsepower out the crank shaft, which loosed about 75 percent of that horsepower where the wheels, usually one of them is pulling along a 1 to 5 ton car or truck which rumbles bombastically along totally unaware of the precious virtually weightless passengers, whilst we go abroad to kill millions to grab up the Satanic snake's dead ancestors black blood.
@pvelectric oil is a mineral it is neither good nor evil,you are neither good nor evil but insane ,mankind works with what it has at hand and right now oil works.
