By building your own electric powered car you can:
Completely eliminate your gas bill. Drive up to 200 miles on a single charge. Receive tax refunds for driving a clean fuel vehicle. Stop emitting heat and pollution and help reduce global warming.

ELECTRIC

Soon this technology will be standard in all new cars, but until then you can retrofit your existing car to run on electricity, even if you are not mechanically inclined.

Instead of paying an auto-shop up to ,000, you can follow the step-by-step instructions of a diy manual and build the system yourself for less than 0!

The majority of vehicles can be converted to use electricity, but it's better to choose an automobile that is light and has room for batteries.After removing all the gas engine parts you will need to install the electrical components like the electric motor, the batteries and the water pump.
All the parts are easily available at your local auto-shop.

The cost for the conversion is under 0 and will pay for itself in 1-2 months.
An added bonus is that you will reduce your maintenance costs, because electric automobiles need less maintenance.

Diy electric car conversion guides are the most affordable solution for building your own electric car.

Unfortunately the problem with some of these guides is that they are not of a high quality and are very difficult to follow.

Do you want to save more than ,000 on gas per year, every year?

How to Choose Components For an RC Plane - Gas Engine to Electric Conversion

What you should consider before converting your RC airplane gas engine to an electric motor system. With the changes in RC electric motor technology it is possible to fly ANY size model using RC plane electric motors. The biggest leap in making this possible has been two fold. First we have model airplane electric engines that are powerful enough, not to mention much more efficient, that they rival or even surpass gas/slimers/smokers/nitro hogs, or whatever else you may call RC airplane gas engines.

electric bike

In fact you can expect to see an increase in the performance of a model airplane in several areas. Your take-off is shorter, climb rate will increase and you can now fly in areas that have noise restrictions. The debate between the benefits of RC plane electric and gas motors are as controversial as those between PC and Mac users. It will continue for as long as they are both in existence.

ELECTRIC

Some questions you might be asking before you convert your RC model airplane's gas engine to an RC electric motor...

How long will the battery allow me to fly? With today's Lithium Battery technology, you can easily expect 10 minute flights, even in bigger aircraft. The days of overheating the batteries and fire hazards are almost non-existent. There are many add on features that you can now purchase that all but eliminate battery hazards. Such as temperature monitors and voltage indicators.

Here are some questions to ask before you start buying any components. These questions will help determine what components to buy.

1. What is the radio control plane that you are wanting to convert? Is it a trainer, sport plane, 3D etc.. This is important because you will need to determine the electric motor based on your models capabilities, and what you want it to do.

Example: Hangar 9 Arrow with a.40 size gas engine.

Would require an electric RC motor equivalent to a AXI 2826/12 External Rotor Brushless. This motor would allow this model to perform basic aerobatics with its semi-symmetrical wing.

Specs of the Hangar 9 Arrow

You will need these numbers to help determine the motor, battery, and prop requirements.

Wingspan: 63 in Overall Length: 52.5 in Wing Area: 710 sq in Flying Weight: 5.7 lb (as a radio controlled gas plane) Engine Size: converting a standard.40 size RC gas engine to an RC electric motor.

Now you need to determine what type of batteries you will need. This is based mostly on your budget and time till land variable. In other words, how long do you want to fly for and still get performance.

The most obvious choice is going to be a Lithium Polymer battery, this is the most advanced battery technology available for RC model airplanes. They are also the most expensive. Other older battery technologies are available, such as, lithium ion and nickel metal hydride. They can do the job, but at a weight cost and flying time consideration. So choose carefully.

In the Arrow Example: We will use a 4200 mAh 11.1V Li-Poly Pack. This was determined based on the flight performance we were after, some aerobatics, but mainly stable easy going flying. Nothing too extreme.

As with any gas RC plane conversion to electric (or any electric radio controlled airplane for that matter), you will have to consider an ESC (electronic speed control). This hooks up to the motor, battery, and receiver. You will need to pick one that can handle the required number of battery packs, servos and have programmable features. This will make life easier for you if you pick one that is feature rich. Of all the components, this is one to spend a little more on. You will be glad you did.

For this example, we used a 40 Amp Brushless Controller with Program features. There are lots of manufacturers of ESC's so take the time to reseaRCh them.

Prop Selection is an important consideration. You need to be aware that with an electric conversion there is a possibility that your model plane will not have enough clearance when using an electric motor prop. It may need modifications to the landing gear (making them longer) so that the prop has clearance.

For the Arrow example we used an APC 13x10 propeller. Most electric motors now have a table that you can find on their website that will recommend the propeller range to stay within.

One final consideration with RC gas planes converted to electric. You always need to factor in cooling of the battery pack and esc. In fact many modelers, including myself, put the ESC on the outside of the plane, usually I mount it under the engine on the firewall. You also need to make air vents to cool the battery inside the model. Without this, you run the risk of overheating batteries and ESC's.

Electric Pickup Conversion - Save Gas Driving an Electric Vehicle

The current challenge faced by many car owners is raising fuel cost. Many drivers are finding it increasingly expensive to run the cars. Some have no choice but to leave their car at home and use the public transportation. One solution to reduce our gasoline expense is to use an electric car. Unfortunately, the current model of electric vehicle from the manufacturer is still expensive and not very practical. Some car enthusiasts have retrofitted their vehicle into electric via a DIY project from home. If you are planning to do your own conversion, why not choose a pickup truck as the donor car.

electric bike

The concept of electric car conversion is to replace the internal combustion engine with an electric DC motor. The motor is to be attached to the transmission with a customized joining plate. To power the motor, a series of lead acid flooded batteries are used. You will need a minimum of 20 battery packs to supply the electricity. This is where a pickup truck will come in handy. A pickup truck has ample storage space at its back. Building a battery box and connecting all the wiring will be easier for a truck. Checking and maintaining all the batteries are also easier because all the batteries are in one location.

ELECTRIC

If you are not familiar with automobile maintenance, all the information above may not make sense to you. You can still enjoy the benefits of owning an electric vehicle by sending you car to a professional mechanic to be retrofitted. To be prudent, you should know at least some basic understanding on electric car. You can get information on electric vehicle from numerous electric conversion guides on the web.

Electric Vehicle Motor For Conversion - DC Motor Or AC Motor

Since you have resolved to build an electric vehicle of your own, Just like in life, before one sets out to do something, a proper knowledge is highly needed. Now you need to learn about electric vehicle motors. The following are considerations in choosing which vehicle to install.

electric razor

1. How big of a motor do you need?
2. Do you use D.C or A.C motor?
3. Detailed plan to go about it.
4. Do you choose a car or truck?

ELECTRIC

Let's get started by outlining what you should look out is the vehicle suitable for conversion to electric vehicle. A featherweight vehicle is most suitable for electric vehicle conversion; the vehicle should also have ample room for batteries. This featherweight vehicle chassis should be strong enough to contain the additional weight of the batteries and D.C electric vehicle motor. These are basically the main concern when thinking of owning of an electric motor.

Which motor to go for D.C or A.C?

Big companies are installing A.C motors. A.C is light for its power output and they have a powerful charging device that works off of your braking system when the A.C motor is slowed down that energy is actually transferred to the batteries. D.C motor is preferred to A.C motor, because A.C is difficult to install and is expensive. So many people like me embrace D.C for their electric motors.

The outlined plan showed us where to find free electric vehicle motors and deep cycle batteries, thus, reducing our cost for driving our dream vehicle.

Another great way of reducing cost is by going for used or recycled D.C electric motor, since the motor will serve longer enough even for a life time of two vehicles. D.C electric motor of 9 to 13 inch range works best and has lots of power.

Since our environment is changing due to burning of fossil fuel (gas), and with gas prices determined to hit per gallon in the nearest future, the time to switch to electric vehicle is right now.

Electric Truck Conversion - Tips to Build an Electric Truck

Many people are considering retrofitting their gasoline driven gas car into electric. Many car owners are finding it increasingly expensive to fuel their car due to the high gasoline prices. The effect is compounded due to the inefficiency of an internal combustion engine. One option to free us from dependency on fossil fuel is to use an alternative energy source for our car such as electricity. Car enthusiasts have been converting car to run purely on electricity. If you are planning to retrofit your vehicle into electric, why not consider a truck. This article will highlight the advantages of an electric truck conversion.

The idea of an electric truck conversion is to replace the internal combustion engine with an electric motor. When the engine is gone, all its associated parts such as gasoline tank, radiator, exhaust pipe and fuel distribution lines have no usage and to be removed as well. The electric motor is to be attached to the transmission via a customized coupling plate. To power the motor, a series of batteries is used. An average electric vehicle would need about 20 units of batteries. This is where choosing a truck would be advantages. A truck has a flatbed at the back and is great for storing the battery packs. It is not impossible to store all the batteries in a sedan, but it is challenging and you would have to make multiple battery racks. Using a truck, fixing the wiring, checking and maintaining the batteries are also easier.

Do-It-Yourself Electric Car Motor Conversion

Electric car motor conversion is the ultimate solution for more people due to the permanent rising of gas prices. For families who possess more than just one car, gas expenses are really a great deal. The bad thing is that sending your car to some professionals for conversion to be an EV (Electric Vehicle) car costs almost 00. The most practical alternative is to purchase a DIY kit and do the motor conversion all by yourself.

electric bike

Converting your motor into an electric car motor is not as difficult as many people think. What you need is a good place to work and a simple and easy guide to walk you through the process of conversion. Once you have those things, you can start your conversion at your own time without having to pay an expensive service charge.

ELECTRIC

The principle of converting an engine into that of an electric car involves replacing the combustion engine with electric motor and taking out all other components, like the radiator, the gas tank, as well as the fuel line. There would be enough space to install some battery racks to hold a series of lead batteries that will supply the needed power for the electric car to run on. The driver can also control the acceleration or the speed an electric car; a variable resistor is installed between the main electric motor and the batteries to give variance to the speed, depending on the push of the driver's foot.

Practically, before doing anything, think of the possible solutions to cut on fuel expenses every day. There are some elements to be added to the fuel so that your engine can burn them easily and will cut the use of more fuel to keep your car running. However, if nothing else fails, consider the electric car motor conversion to be the ultimate alternative.

Beetle Electric Car Conversion - Convert Your Old Bug Into an EV

Many electric car enthusiasts like the idea of driving their own electric vehicle (EV). The concept of not burning any fossil fuel and not creating any green house gases seems like a great way to travel. Unfortunately, most electric car models from the manufacturers are not very practical and expensive. One alternative is to build an electric vehicle via a Do It Yourself (DIY) approach from a home garage. One conventional car that is great to be retrofitted into an electric vehicle is an old VW Beetle. This article will highlight the reasons why a VW Bug is excellent to be converted into an electric car.

electric razor

There are a few reasons why a Volkswagen VW Beetle is a great donor car for electric retrofitting. Firstly, a Beetle is light weight. The car has a curb weight of only 2100 lbs. This is good because with a lighter car, you can use fewer batteries. One of the major challenges for any electric car conversion is weight. A lighter car means less strain on the electric motor hence a better mileage per charge.

ELECTRIC

The VW Beetle is also simple without complicated electronic circuitries. This means the component can be easily modified without much complication. This in effect will speed up the conversion process without the retrofitter have to read and understand the complicated components. Complex electric parts will also strain the power system thus reducing the EV mileage.

Due to the popularity and availability of old VW Beetles, many people are using it to start their DIY electric car conversion project. When there is an uncertainty in the prices of gasoline in the near future, having your own electric car would shield you from any unexpected expenses.

Electric Cars and How They Work - DIY Electric Vehicle Conversion

Many conventional car owners are fascinated by the idea of driving an electric car and they would like to know how it works. Generally, electric vehicles (EV) are quite simple. Instead of burning fossil fuel to generate force, EV uses the power of magnetic induction to produce torque from the electric motor. The more electricity flowing through the motor, the more force it will generate. Ever since the price of gasoline reached a new height, running a car has become an expensive ordeal. It is understandable that many car owners are expressing their interest on electric car. What would be the process of retrofitting a car into an EV? This article will provide some useful information on the subject.

electric smoker

If you want to modify your car to run on electricity, it would cost you upwards of 00 to get it done in professional workshop. If you really want to save money, you can actually do the conversion process yourself at home. Generally, the retrofitting process involves removing the internal combustion engine, the fuel tank, fuel pump, fuel lines and radiator. The entire system is to be replaced with an electric motor and lead acid batteries. Imagine replacing all the components that has fluid running through it and changing it with wires connectors.

ELECTRIC

The existing drive train of the car such as the transmission, drive shafts and clutch system can still used. The electric motor will be coupled to the transmission and drawing power from the batteries. The number of batteries needed will depend on the horse power of the motor and the weight of the car.

If you do not have any knowledge on the electrical and mechanical system of a car, all these information may not make any sense to you. In this case, you can ask someone who has some car maintenance skill to assist you. To start the conversion process, you should first get a good step by step modification guide. Most good quality guides are available online.

Electric Car Conversion

Do you find yourself watching the gas gauge in your car? Do you find yourself hoping your car will go farther and farther on a gallon of gas? As we continue to watch gas prices hover around .00 a gallon and take a bigger chunk out of our budgets, many of us are searching for ways to stretch our transportation dollars. Luckily, there is a solution to the outrageous price of gasoline, an electric car conversion; it is possible to convert a regular gasoline car to an electric car. By converting your car to electric, you will be changing your car into a more cost efficient vehicle, and you also be helping the environment by using a "clean" fuel.

electric razor

For only pennies a day, you can drive your electric car around town. That is much better than spending .00 a gallon to put gas in the tank. In general, an electric car can drive for one hundred miles before needing a charge. For a full charge the cost is around one dollar. Think of how much gasoline your car uses to drive a hundred miles and how much that costs. An electric car conversion can save hundreds, maybe thousands, of dollars in fuel costs in a year.

ELECTRIC

Another reason to consider changing your car over to an electric car is that you are improving the environment. Gasoline cars fill the air with carbon greenhouse gases. Many scientists believe this is a contributing factor to global warming. With an electric car, you are not burning a fossil fuel, so no harmful exhaust fumes pollute the air. An electric car has no fumes at all. Another bonus to an electric car conversion is the tax advantages. Since an electric car is considered a "clean" fuel, the government offers tax credits when you change over to an electric car. That is more money saved by converting to an electric car.

So how do you convert your car? There are two ways. You can pay a professional to convert your car. This costs thousands of dollars, depending on the professional. You can also do an electric car conversion yourself. There are do-it-yourself manuals available that give step by step instructions. This is a less expensive way to obtaining an electric car.

If the high price of driving is getting you down, and you are looking for a more cost effective means to driving, then an electric car conversion is for you. Along with its cost effectiveness, a conversion to an electric car also eliminates greenhouse emissions. That benefits everyone.
