  • It is time to take our FIRST DRIVE in my Electric Hummer! Get your first month FREE with any Kiwico Subscription: www.kiwico.com... 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.

    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. Any failure of a driveshaft component at speed and that shaft will start whipping around in the tunnel with enough energy to rip into those battery boxes pretty quickly.

    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 2 ปีที่แล้ว +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?"

      @weskopr 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      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.

      It is probably running FOC, though it is usually not turned off to my knowledge. But there is usually a high frequency injection happening (at least with sensorless FOC) at low speeds to estimate the direction of the rotor. At higer speed it is not needed since the induced voltage from the magnets (into the windings) are much bigger than any other voltage drops and can therefore be used to estimate the direction of the rotor. But it could also be an inverter with variable switching frequency as @Veselin Georgiev says.

  • @yagineko
    @yagineko 2 ปีที่แล้ว +115

    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.).

      @yagineko 2 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      @@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.

    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.

    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.

    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 2 ปีที่แล้ว +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.

Just a lot of input in a short amount of time paired with high expectations. Then I remember that guy from TH-cam, who DIYs an EV conversion in his garage and that really puts stuff into perspective.

    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.

    “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.

    Such a brilliant series Zack! I wait so eagerly for these!! Couple of questions
    1. The metal box is so tightly enclosed (including water seal) but the front portion seemingly has a gap? Was this explained somewhere in case I missed?
    2. What are your thoughts on that metal box not being easy to tear apart? What is some battery module dies, wouldn't the replacement be super hard?
    3. Thanks for mentioning the whining noise. When in your previous video you had it installed, I saw no comments and thought I am the only one hearing the tinnitus like whine. Is it from the inverter?
    4. Are there sensors inside battery enclosures that does monitoring for you and show alerts?

    That 3 AM test drive of a project never gets old lol.
    Also, that whine sounds like the PWM frequency of the speed controller/inverter, it might be switching drive modes at different speeds? Should be able to be tuned out with some settings. From my experience ESCs tend to do that when they're running in sensorless mode. I assume that motor has an encoder but it may need some configuring.
