I think there is more here than getting together for a beer. I haven't snowmobiled with the young guys for 20 years and they all seem to have their own small groups that they go out with. My situation is that I had a couple of guys I went sledding with for many years but they have all quit. So...
I found the item I was looking for, it's a concept developed by a company called, "Riversimple". They use a hydrogen fuel cell to generate 8.5kw to drive the car which is enough to run the car at 60mph, any deceleration or braking is regenerated back to a supercapacitor bank to provide excess...
I think there is a severe problem with the CVT with a rubber belt. I remember the dyno tests back in the day on a 1M 900 Cat 150hp the 900 put 72hp to the track. I see two problems with the CVT, lack of proper rpm management and belt heat. Some of that could be managed by an electronically...
So how many 78 year old seniors have you taken out lately.
what does your club do for seniors?
There are no other seniors here sledding that I have met.
Seniors pension doesn't go very far.
I have only ridden on a groomed trail five times in my life, and I did pay for access.
Some of the problem is that, as snowmobilers, we seem to be a dwindling group.
I find myself riding alone 90% of the time.
Here the local club only seems to have an annual poker run as an event.
For me I don't...
You can buy 3 phase speed control starting at $10 for model airplanes, converts DC to AC 3 phase with speed control. The technology is already there. Even AC frequency drives convert AC to DC then DC back to variable frequency 3 phase. In industry we did positioning with standard 3 phase motors.
I am retired, I was an industrial electrician when I was working, we had positioners with tremendous accuracy and speed. The three phase electric servos, I think would be the way to go. Really you only have to control engine rpm. A three phase servo mounted where the cams are on the secondary...
I have been wondering why the manufacturers don't have electronic clutching, since buying my Powder Special in 1998 which was fuel injected.
Where the computer knew the throttle position, engine rpm , where the secondary could be servo controlled to regulate rpm.
This is really old technology...
