The motor on the far left has a 16 ounce 1.4 KW Ave ox hall sensor RC Motor coupled with a 1 pound CGI gearbox with a 10 to 1 reduction that cost $1000.
The next motor to the right is a 10 pound BLDC motor I made to fit into the largest Min-Kota trolling motor nosecone with no reduction. The heavier motor without the reduction is about 15% more efficient at the same power and does not have a gearbox whine. Both of these motors will power a Electric bicycle nicely. The Kort nozzles I made increase Thrust with a fine pitch prop but the larger Composite 11" x 10" pitch prop blades enable 8 knot speeds on a 26" canoe. The composite props are made for 35 HP Johnson outboard motors. The motor on the far right is another small gear box RC Motor for a surfboard with a hydro foil that was fun to play with..
These are prototypes I plan on keeping. Both of them are about 1 1/2 horse power.
in 1991 I got a patent on them but never used it. The small one I used on a 26 ft Solar Canoe that made it to another island and back in 4.5 hours. The round trip was 20 miles. These outboard motors cost me about $2000. each to make myself. The small one on the left with the CGI Gearbox weighs 3 pounds and the other direct drive enclosed motor about 8 pounds without the shaft and boat mounts.
