Crystalyte X5 5303 Bicycle Hub Motor Going 45mph

I bought this 24lb electric hub motor for the fact it can go fast and on a 26inch rim is quite fun. I am using a 72V 35A controller and this makes riding fast. These brushless motors can go like 100,000 miles and never have brush dust to worry about. If someone would make a 144V 200A controller I'd mount this on a 16 inch motorcycle rim and go 60mph. This motor could take it too, built like a horse. The last 2-3 mins is where I rev it up to 45mph.

@StinkyCheese9999

lol, I MEANT the latter is more dangerous.  Must sleep in longer on the weekends.

@whitesideentp

Apparently you haven't the education in electronics that I do. Let me pose this very simply one last time, draw upon your own observations in life and tell me which is more dangerous:

Holding two AA NiMH batteries, which are 1.2V (nominal, or 2.4V in series) capable of 10A current in parallel,

OR

Sticking two nails in an AC outlet which is 110V, if it has a 10A breaker on it?

Obviously with current the same, the former is dangerous and the latter isn't. THINK

@StinkyCheese9999 Since you are so smart and much more educated than me and have so much understanding of basic science. Why don't you use your smarts and Google "whats kills voltage or current". Either me, Google and the rest of the other websites are wrong or you can't just admit to being wrong. Nothing wrong with being wrong. You just make yourself look bad when you argue with a fact, not an opinion. Do some research!

@StinkyCheese9999 You just agreed with me in the last sentence of this post. All I said is it's current that kills... not voltage. Its scientific fact and I'm willing to put my money where my mouth is. Are you? I doubt it unless you want to just hand me some free $. And how can you say I don't have a degree?. lmao. I'm a designer / manufacturer and have been designing and manufacturing my OWN electronics products for 8 years. Google "mini heat press" and then look site that has miniheatpress.

@whitesideentp

You do not have any degree at all in anything relating to electronics engineering. LOL, you couldn't even pass electronics 101 in college without knowing that the current rating of a power supply is ONLY the max it is capable of, NOT how much flows through a resistance which is determined by the voltage. This is basic science that grade school kids can figure out. Current kills but voltage determines amount of current flow so it is truer to say voltage kills.

@whitesideentp

You may mean well but are factually wrong. The voltage has to be high enough to make current flow across the body while the amperage rating of the circuit only has to be equal to or higher than a lethal level. ie - a few dozen mA

400V / 30mA is more dangerous than 24V/1000A.

Here's an example, you would say that a 24V, 10A circuit is dangerous. I use those often to build audio amps and can touch 24V with no issues but a 110V/10A wall outlet is very dangerous

@whitesideentp

You don't understand electricity. Your body is a resistance. Suppose a resistance of 10,000 ohms. Ohms law is V=I/R, voltage=current/resistance.

Now, suppose a 24V, 1000A power supply. It doesn't matter that it's "capable" of 1000A, the voltage is what determines how much current will actually flow through a resistance (your body), again this is ohm's law. So 24V/10,000 Ohms = 0.0024A or 2.4mA, not dangerous

Now suppose a 220V, 50mA PSU 220V/10000ohms=22mA

@StinkyCheese9999 I'm not saying all this to be argumentative or a know it all. I actually find what you are doing intriguing. I just think that giving false information like that can lead someone astray and possibly cause harm or death.

[whitesideentp]

@StinkyCheese9999 @StinkyCheese9999 And I just re-read your example. You stated that 20 mA can kill. A milli amp is smaller than an amp. My cell phone charger is one amp. It won't kill me. And you also said that 1000A will not kill which is absolutely false. It will kill fatser than you can blink. My house circuit breaker trips at 30A. I couldn't imagine a 1000 amp circuit.

@StinkyCheese9999 @StinkyCheese9999 Wrong! I have an associates degree in Electronics Engineering and I am here to tell you you are wrong. Just do a Google search dude.... the answer is there if you search amps kill not voltage. :)
