    You should look into the polar moment of inertia of the vehicle when placing the batteries. + They will be the first thing that chrsshes in the event of an accident. You wouldn't want that

    • @josephu8327
      @josephu8327 Před 9 měsíci +1

      I was wondering the same thing, but he did mention having scales. I know he thinks several steps ahead, and I would think having the batteries behind the front axle would be ideal for weight balance/ballast.
      But for all I know, this could be intentional. Hopefully, we will hear something about this?

    • @woden79
      @woden79 Před 9 měsíci

      Thinking the same thing.
      Scales help get the weight front and rear in proportion. But wouldn’t the car be difficult to handle with a large proportion of the front weight in front of the wheels?

    • @markraumer2336
      @markraumer2336 Před 9 měsíci +3

      50:50 weight distribution is less important than the moment of inertia of the vehicle. Putting a lot of weigh forward of the front wheels will induce a pendulum effect in corners.

    • @ThaJay
      @ThaJay Před 24 dny

      @@markraumer2336 Weight distribution is the deciding factor in determining the moment of inertia. The vehicle is stiff like a single beam, not floppy like a rope and weight. The handling will be fine and they have probably calculated some weight distribution guesstimates in the digital model.

    Nice work gentleman! Have you weighed the car with the batteries out front like that? just for an idea of what the weight distribution is going to be? Seem's like it's going to be very front heavy. Just my observation.

  • @johnhearn6397
    @johnhearn6397 Před 9 měsíci +5

    Why do you want to put so much weight in front of the axle? Are there not any cells available that can lay flat on the floor pan to keep the center of gravity low and moment of inertia centered?

    • @4literv6

      $$$$ is why.

    • @josephu8327
      @josephu8327 Před 9 měsíci +1

      Yes I was thinking the same thing, having it as low as possible and as far behind the front axle seems like it would have better handling and good weight transfer but they could be shooting for this type of weight bias intentionally, hopefully we will find out.

    • @neilattwood6227

    • @ThaJay
      @ThaJay Před 24 dny

      Combined with the other components, it will probably give the car a near stock weight distribution. Have you seen the heft of the motor assembly and also do you know where the originel engine was placed?

    @FatalRPM Před 9 měsíci

    The amperage is also the flow of the electricity (also called current). The higher the amps the faster that 400v will move. Going thicker gauge wire is a safe guard for the current the electrical bits are pulling. Idk for sure but I’m 90% sure Teslas motors pull more current than the Chevy volt so it’s good you upgrade those cables. You may wanna double check the max current draw of the motor and double check your wire gauge rating for amps @400v just to be triple sure.

  • @messybench
    @messybench Před 9 měsíci

    Just to clarify, the 600v rating on the cable speaks to the insulation rating. The diameter of the cable is specific to the amperage. Amperage, force, makes heat. 12v system isn't dangerous to humans. Our skin is our insulation, which is good to about 50volts. But amperage, is what gets the wires glowing red and melts things.

  • @hamidgolestani6681
    @hamidgolestani6681 Před 9 měsíci +1

    those front battery placement going to make the car oversteer, it is always better to focus the mass of component as close as possible to center of the mass of the car not just close to the ground. look up lotus electric evija battery placement as a example

  • @supdus

    Should just epoxy a magnet on the bottom of the battery hatch and then have a pull tab that you can just apply to it when removing and otherwise when in docked position you could some how use the magnets to prevent rattling

  • @madhadder6754
    @madhadder6754 Před 5 měsíci

    Longevity will be the question. Two things I see is one are you actually getting even cooling which would cause uneven wear of batteries and eventually all that cooling hoses will leak and fail. Hopefully you will be able to work on this without taking everything apart.

  • @kevinizatt7195

    No no no, here's how it is. Amperage is like torque, volts are like RPM, kilowatts are horsepower (actually). All this is close to being literally true with regard to motors. So think big amperage, big wires just like you'd have big axles, high voltage, you'd want good insulation which is like maybe balancing or scatter shield, or lubrication in an engine.

Still, it targets and pulls the shield from your hand into place from 5cm away. (Neodymium Magnets) you dont need big.
