  • It is time to take our FIRST DRIVE in my Electric Hummer! Get your first month FREE with any Kiwico Subscription: www.kiwico.com/JerryRig This day has been in the works for a very long time. I started taking apart my Military Hummer January of 2021, and here we are taking it for a spin with its electric motors in February of 2022. A full year of hard work and learning later. Thank you for joining me on this adventure! Its been super fun and we have a lot more work to do! Should we add some Solar panels to the top?! I think so.

    The high pitched whine that they were talking about is the DC braking feature of the motor controller. It's applies a PWM signal to the windings of the motor to hold it in position when momentum, gravity, or some other force is causing it to move when you're telling the motor to stop. High frequency switching (PWM) makes noise because of efficiency losses (sound, heat, light, etc.).

      @@florrieflorrie4577 I'm not sure what sort of methods Tesla or BMW employs for their motor controllers. They could be using regenerative braking. Depending on the gearing or noise dampening involved, this can be relatively quiet. The DC braking that I think was used here can also be quieter. When they close up the hole in the cabin that goes straight to the engine compartment it should dampen it. High frequencies don't penetrate walls as easily as low frequency.

    Maybe it's already been mentioned somewhere or maybe someone else has made the comment, but I'd really suggest putting a driveshaft safety loop or two on the rear shaft.

    @Rhynri Před 2 lety +243

    That high pitched noise is probably FOC - “Field Oriented Control”. It’s a method for controlling motors at slow speeds and many controllers switch it off at a steady state. Your motor controller probably has some configuration around this, you have a lot of inertia so once your moving you can probably shift over - experiment with the cutoff to get lowest noise / smoothest acceleration.

    • @ScarletFlames1
      @ScarletFlames1 Před 2 lety +5

      For something with the weight of a standard ICE hummer 20 kmph (16mph-ish) for the acceleration to switch to a higher speed. That's the maximum I'd say, could easily even go for half that.
      It's mostly a setting of "how fast are you going to go offroading to the point your motor can't push at standard settings?"

      I am willing to bet, that it runs on Vector control (FOC) over the full range. The whine comes from motor coil resonance due to switching frequency. At low speeds the PWM signal is at low duty cycle, which creates a rather drastic change in magnetic flux in the coils, which in turn makes them vibrate.

    Generally, when you assemble high power electrical leads, it is good practice to mark the mounting hardware, so that you know it has been properly torqued and it hasn't moved. Loose joints can create cool fires 😁
    Also that whine you hear is coil whine from the motor. You can try to change carrier frequency of the inverter to minimize it.

      @christianrichert5197 Před 2 lety +1

      I was wondering that, too. But then again, it's the US, so if it rolls n breaks, it's probably street-legal :-D
      I know in Germany it's very difficult to get a license plate for any kind of EV conversion as you have to get it examined by an official authority, which is quite expensive. And if you fail the examination, you have to fix the issues and redo the process, until you pass everything. It can end up costing many thousands of euros just to get a permit to run on public roads...
      And if you are not an expert in what you are doing it will be very difficult to build an EV up to code in the first place. Every wire, fastener, connector, mount, etc is tested and has to be up to code in its own right. It's not an easy process.
      It's all in the name of safety though, and I think it's ok. Sucks that you can't easily convert your own car. But prevents unsafe cars to be on the road. So overall, I am not too mad about it.

    2 things
    1. Spraying that centre box with some bed liner for protection could be a good idea.
    2. Some catch loops for the drive shaft. If it breaks loose with no restraints it will either thrash like hell against the centre box, or your Hummer's rear end will try to do the pole vault as the front of the drive shaft ploughs into the road.

    @ecospider5 Před 2 lety +21

    “Overkill is a good thing” This is the difference between engineering on the fly and engineering to make a profit. Engineering on the fly is not as financially constrained since it is based off of your cash flow. Let the project take longer and you have more money to spend on the project. Engineering for mass production means every time the design saves money that ends up being money you can spend on more features or more RnD for your next product.

    Followed this project from the first video. Going through an engineering school right now, there are often moments were I think the task at hand is impossible. Just a lot of input in a short amount of time paired with high expectations. Then I remember that guy from CZcams, who DIYs an EV conversion in his garage and that really puts stuff into perspective. You're an inspiration, Zack, thanks for taking us along for the ride.

    Jerry, the hole drilled through the middle position of the metal section severely compromises the structure of the member that joins the chassis perpendicularly from side to side of the Humvee. You should look out for some flex or accelerated failure by the thinned out material there. 16:00.

    • @nicholasaitken1415
      @nicholasaitken1415 Před 2 lety +6

      I think it should be ok. The hole would reduce shear capacity mostly. The majority of bending capacity is provided by the top and bottom flanges which are intact and so there shouldn’t be much if any additional flex. I would be more concerned if the top and bottom of the section are cut.

    hi Jerry,
    i saw your coolant routing at 3:28. You might swap the direction of one of those stainless steel pipes, because you are cooling the right battery way more efficient than the left one. This is due to the pressure taking the easiest way through the system. like in the early 1991 Mazda NA Miatas.
