Man i just ran to see the video after i saw the notification on instagram.. i really appreciate your passion with hard work and technology ,ever since i subscribed to you 3 years ago .. you got my respect man keep it up.
2:40 Just to be splitting hairs. This motor is an advanced DC motor with a motor inverter to direct the current directionally through the three motor coil systems. The motor inverter has complete control over the power level, rotation speed and rotation direction. But in a sense the current does change direction in the motor coils so that is an AC model.
i love how zach is making this video series so friendly towards people that don’t know a lot about EV technology. it makes for a fantastic addition to an already amazing youtube channel
Awesome project. If I have to say one thing it is do not underestimate the power of gearing. All these current manufacturers are not using transmissions. But what they are failing to do is create efficiency under loads or trailering. They can boast efficiency only with one person under a light demand. Sure they have large torque numbers, but they do not calculate the energy required to move the heavy loads. Anyways, very cool. I will be following.

I’m so sold on electric vehicles now. I was skeptical when they first hit the market but they’ve come such a long way and prices are slowly getting better
@@vanderumd11 in Australia there’s a lot of houses that run off grid. My cousin, her partner and 2 kids lives on a big rural property and they are 100% off grid, gas bottles and also have rainwater tanks plus get tank water delivered. They have a big solar system and 4x tesla power wall batteries with a backup generator if ever needed. In the last 18 months they’ve only had to use the generator for 2 days when we had a solid week of rain during winter. It’s been a pretty good investment so far, their previous house’s elec bill used to be $2800 annually.
@@Chrissmills They're far too expensive to be sustainable. I'm sick of my tax money going to subsidize that clown, Elon's, anti-consumer, anti-repair, anti-competition endeavors. 4 Tesla walls is like $40 THOUSAND dollars, then add another $20-30 THOUSAND for solar panels and install. LOL. You'd never be able to justify that cost. It would take you like 40-50 years to recoup that cost, and at that point it's needed to be replaced 3-4 times. LOL. Electric power storage has a LONG ways to go before it's even close to replacing grid power and ICE vehicles. And his cars are disgusting. They can't be repaired by 3rd parties, and since Tesla is more focused on making more new cars than supporting the ones that are already on the road, insurance companies total them out because they're too expensive to fix. Tesla doesn't have the service infrastructure to support the repair of their cars in a timely manner, and they don't allow 3rd party repairs, and they're not producing hardly any spare parts, insurance companies don't want to pay for rental cars for 6-9 weeks, so they total them out. Long before they have met the point of being more green than a traditional ICE vehicle. Since Tesla basically disables every feature (like supercharging and autopilot) after an accident, there is no market in salvage Teslas besides people who do it as a labor of love. When a Tesla gets in an accident that would cost $3500 to fix in any other car, it can cost 5-7x as much, because of the aforementioned reasons, so it gets totaled. Ever use a cellphone or a laptop? How long do those batteries last? 2 years, and they don't undergo anywhere near the current draw that EV batteries undergo. Tesla makes up for it with electronics that limit current draw, and now batteries in parallel, but the packs still only lady about 7 years. So just as the car is reaching the point that the mining of the heavy metals for the battery is offset by the reduction in emissions, you need a new battery. Add in the fact that Tesla lies about being open source, lies about producing cars (semi, new Roadster, and truck are all vaporware), and is in bed with the CCP, and you have one of the most deplorable corporations on planet earth. Amy company that gets rich of of government subsidies, funded by the tax payer, and off of the guise that they're doing it to save the planet, should not be trusted.
@@littlejackalo5326 good to see someone with sense, the only thing I don't agree with is with how you say that batteries only last 7 years, they can last much longer at least 10.
Love this series! I have to point out though when you lifted the motor you had the shackle side loaded. Obviously this is a small load but in rigging one of the most basic and important rules is to never side load a shackle. Still videos are great!
Interesting to see how you are going about this, pretty cool. I own a 95 hummer. Please don’t destroy removed parts- many folks need them, including the bad 6.2. Couple things I wonder about for the future.- maybe you are not aware or just haven’t addressed it yet? 1. The differentials are AMC 20, and you should have the factory torsen diffential. I made the MISTAKE of making mine selectable 2wd/4wd. The added load to just one diff is really hard on these differentials, and wears them out much quicker even under stock power plant use. Also the handling is very different (worse) than original full time 4wd. 2. Strength. The AMC 20 is no where near the strength of most pickup units. Some of the hummers I helped modify for more power eat differentials about every 10,000 miles. You will be supplying similar, if not more power than those ones. Start looking into the aftermarket ford 9” units. You will loose the torsen advantage of brake throttle manipulation- so locking units are to be considered. Portal axles (aka geared hubs as called by AM General). Your hmmwv should have the 10,000 lbs units in them. This dictates the cv axle (aka half shaft) size is also the 10k you will probably need to go to the stronger ones in the 12,000 lbs rating. The half shafts are the known weak link and many of us owners learned to keep the weaker bearing cage of the 10k units because the shaft is a couple hundred dollars, diy repair parts maybe $100 each. If you make it stronger- you will break the geared hubs. My suggestion is keep what you have, carry spare half shafts. One fits each rear, 2 different units for the front. Good luck!
Cool video, super fun project, but.... M-1 Abrams tank width: 144 inches H-1 Hummer width: 86.5 inches. The reason the H-1 Hummer is so wide is to avoid tipping over on a 45 degree grade, and to accommodate a soldier on a stretcher in the center of the vehicle while the 4 seats are still available.
You are a great (and not hyper) presenter. This is a huge job. I’ll be following every step. I am really interested in how you will handle the cooling- and also what the range will be. I can’t think it will be very good, honestly.
3:47 I love how he repeatedly refers to himself as Jerry, even though this is obviously not his real name (which is Zack btw for those of you who are misinformed ;)
@@Distinctive1 it's a term used to describe making/repairing things. Jerry rigging. It's actually jury rigging but Jerry rigging became popular I think just as a pun
absolutely love this build series zack. my e36 has about 300k miles and is very tired. love the car and don't plan on getting rid of it. an electric conversion is definitely on the table in the future.
Jerry would literally nail playing the hitman character lol. But damn this project got me hooked on to this channel now ...cant wait for the next part.
I love that you're subtly bringing out the truth that EV:s aren't going to be more difficult than what we have. It's just that way now, because people aren't used to them. Probably going to be good for "self reliance", going forward. Shouldn't let manufacturers lock people out of software either.
ICE cars are the epitome of bloated engineering. Every time something needed changing one more thing was added. Until you end up with what we have now. Something so complicated and fragile that it takes mechanics with special equipment to find out what's wrong and fix it. I can't wait to get an EV.
EVs are awesome in every way, so much new potential. Teslas engineering philosophy is nothing short of incredible, the did like 11 revisions to the heat pump just last year while other manufacturers would rather use the same exact component for an entire decade. The one thing Tesla is missing from being the dream car manufacturer is customer focus. Customer service, repairability, no locked down diagnostics. They got the engineering on point, but their politics are still infuriating.
@@drkastenbrot I was looking at EverydayAstronaut's interview with Elon at the Boca Chica Launch site and he made good points about engineering. Like don't optimize things which shouldn't exist in the design to begin with. He attributed the tendency to the educational system, people aren't taught to say an assignment is dumb or something should just be discarded from the design. The examples were from Tesla's designs.
@@downstream0114 Im an embedded engineer and I like to quickly move through companies to see how they all operate inside. One thing I noticed in many of the older companies (as opposed to fresh startups) is that the design process was very linear: You would solve one problem at a time until it all works. You never get to take steps back and look at the thing as a whole, and often enough the result would work as designed but be far from optimal. Tesla and SpaceX seem to completely do away with this process and instead ALWAYS look at the whole thing. Watch Munroe Live on TH-cam and you quickly notice how teslas parts all look like it was all designed in one go, it all fits perfectly together with a level of integration unseen before. All by taking a different philosophy and doing whatever makes the most sense on the long run.
I can't wait to see if those half shafts can take the kind of load the new power system will bring to the table- I'd carry some of those in the off road bag if I was you. (I have a 2001 H1 and have snapped a few of them when torque got crazy.) Love this series cause if it works out. I'm doing it.
Hey Zack, You're doing awesome work there, I can't wait to see all your coming videos about this project particularly. But, are you going to install all that new equipment in the truck without cleaning and repainting the engine area at least?
so...my only question is...how do you waterproof all the new electric parts and make it off roadable as the original was with water crossings and such(reasonable depth) not completely submerged
besides the individual battery modules, automotive grade power electronics/motors require high level of IP rating, IP69K which resists high pressure water, solids,dust,.....If this builder uses the proper connectors, with matching gaskets I could see this going through streams no problem.
Well done 47. You’ve solved the issue of the enemy hearing an engine in the distance.

Amy company that gets rich of of government subsidies, funded by the tax payer, and off of the guise that they're doing it to save the planet, should not be trusted.
@@littlejackalo5326 good to see someone with sense, the only thing I don't agree with is with how you say that batteries only last 7 years, they can last much longer at least 10.

Zack, when you finish this you should write a book called "How to convert your old car into electric 101"
Love this series! I have to point out though when you lifted the motor you had the shackle side loaded. Obviously this is a small load but in rigging one of the most basic and important rules is to never side load a shackle. Still videos are great!
Thanks for that!
Interesting to see how you are going about this, pretty cool. I own a 95 hummer.
Please don’t destroy removed parts- many folks need them, including the bad 6.2.
Couple things I wonder about for the future.- maybe you are not aware or just haven’t addressed it yet?
1. The differentials are AMC 20, and you should have the factory torsen diffential.
I made the MISTAKE of making mine selectable 2wd/4wd. The added load to just one diff is really hard on these differentials, and wears them out much quicker even under stock power plant use. Also the handling is very different (worse) than original full time 4wd.
2. Strength. The AMC 20 is no where near the strength of most pickup units. Some of the hummers I helped modify for more power eat differentials about every 10,000 miles. You will be supplying similar, if not more power than those ones. Start looking into the aftermarket ford 9” units. You will loose the torsen advantage of brake throttle manipulation- so locking units are to be considered.
Portal axles (aka geared hubs as called by AM General). Your hmmwv should have the 10,000 lbs units in them. This dictates the cv axle (aka half shaft) size is also the 10k you will probably need to go to the stronger ones in the 12,000 lbs rating. The half shafts are the known weak link and many of us owners learned to keep the weaker bearing cage of the 10k units because the shaft is a couple hundred dollars, diy repair parts maybe $100 each. If you make it stronger- you will break the geared hubs. My suggestion is keep what you have, carry spare half shafts. One fits each rear, 2 different units for the front.
Good luck!
Thanks for the tips! You know what you're talking about.
Oh btw-
Hmmwv in the tracks of abrams tanks is myth. Tank is 12’ wide...
Jerry you really need to make a list of conversion kits to the H1 and Humvee so if anyone wants to convert there's they can just look you up
not hear how sweetly the little🍲🥘🍳🥚🥙🌯🌮
Me and my dad are watching the process of this and it’s awesome! Good job jerry
That's just crazy off the shelf components. BRAVO
Lmao everyone covering the foldables while Jerry being a savage 😂
My favorite series on the YT at the moment! 🤩 Can't wait for next parts!!
Who else in bed watching this right now
Me
On couch
in INDIA here 7:20 PM
It's 4pm in my country
Yo. Sydney time 11:53pm
Cool video, super fun project, but....
M-1 Abrams tank width: 144 inches
H-1 Hummer width: 86.5 inches.
The reason the H-1 Hummer is so wide is to avoid tipping over on a 45 degree grade, and to accommodate a soldier on a stretcher in the center of the vehicle while the 4 seats are still available.
This is oddly one of the most interesting videos I have seen lately, carry on, Zack!
This is so exciting! I've always dreamed of battery technology making it this far.
You are a great (and not hyper) presenter. This is a huge job. I’ll be following every step. I am really interested in how you will handle the cooling- and also what the range will be. I can’t think it will be very good, honestly.
He finally did a video on that! Check out his most recent update on this
I expect him to put it in the car. I'm impressed great project, Hope it's finished soon. I want to get on the car and offroad.
As an engineer for GM, I can confirm that...this is a humvee.
Great. By the way you've got a photo of a VW Polo GTI on your YT page, don't let your bosses see it 😁
@@Rickiye 3 years late -- still work there, still park out front for everyone to see. If they cared, they'd make a competitor lol.
I heard that humvee soul is still in the garage seeking for revenge 😄😄
I have long sought you!’🎫🎟🎗🎁🎀🎑🎐
I learned something new,I thought they was so wide for off road ,and clearances.
3:47 I love how he repeatedly refers to himself as Jerry, even though this is obviously not his real name (which is Zack btw for those of you who are misinformed ;)
Много е готин Зак!
I know his name is Zack but never noticed he refers himself as Jerry lol. That's so cool. Thanks for pointing that out
I believe he just recently began doing so, but I may be wrong. I know I heard him do it in the last Hummer video as well
Why is his yt name jerry rig everything?
@@Distinctive1 it's a term used to describe making/repairing things. Jerry rigging. It's actually jury rigging but Jerry rigging became popular I think just as a pun
Yes part 3!!!
Can't hold my excitement for every next part.
Pathetic
absolutely love this build series zack. my e36 has about 300k miles and is very tired. love the car and don't plan on getting rid of it. an electric conversion is definitely on the table in the future.
Amazing! Can't wait to see the end product.
Does anyone else think it'd be cool to see ChrisFix with his Hummer and Zach with his Hummer do a Collab? Pleaseee 🙏🥺
No Chris fix isn't some left wing environmentalist like Jerry
@@hacxer8424 I could care less about the politics, I just respect and admire these two guys who are passionate about this stuff 🤷
@@hacxer8424 u mad?
@@hacxer8424 you really took Car building and made it political?
I'm down
Super duper excited about this 😀
Everyone has a little Engineer hidden inside somewhere
So it feels great to see your videos 😊
Jerry would literally nail playing the hitman character lol. But damn this project got me hooked on to this channel now ...cant wait for the next part.
Nice pieces, and no more stinking from exhaust pipes.
Good Luck 👍😎👍
Hummer EV: "I have 11,500 lb-ft of torque"
Zack: "Hold my beer"
Good one 👍 😄
“And if the Hummer has more torque we just won’t talk about it”…🤣🤣
Which is the most bs torque rating ever given to a car.
Hold my baby loafs of bread😂😂
I love that you're subtly bringing out the truth that EV:s aren't going to be more difficult than what we have. It's just that way now, because people aren't used to them. Probably going to be good for "self reliance", going forward. Shouldn't let manufacturers lock people out of software either.
ICE cars are the epitome of bloated engineering. Every time something needed changing one more thing was added. Until you end up with what we have now. Something so complicated and fragile that it takes mechanics with special equipment to find out what's wrong and fix it. I can't wait to get an EV.
EVs are awesome in every way, so much new potential. Teslas engineering philosophy is nothing short of incredible, the did like 11 revisions to the heat pump just last year while other manufacturers would rather use the same exact component for an entire decade.
The one thing Tesla is missing from being the dream car manufacturer is customer focus. Customer service, repairability, no locked down diagnostics. They got the engineering on point, but their politics are still infuriating.
@@drkastenbrot I was looking at EverydayAstronaut's interview with Elon at the Boca Chica Launch site and he made good points about engineering. Like don't optimize things which shouldn't exist in the design to begin with. He attributed the tendency to the educational system, people aren't taught to say an assignment is dumb or something should just be discarded from the design. The examples were from Tesla's designs.
@@downstream0114 Im an embedded engineer and I like to quickly move through companies to see how they all operate inside. One thing I noticed in many of the older companies (as opposed to fresh startups) is that the design process was very linear: You would solve one problem at a time until it all works. You never get to take steps back and look at the thing as a whole, and often enough the result would work as designed but be far from optimal. Tesla and SpaceX seem to completely do away with this process and instead ALWAYS look at the whole thing. Watch Munroe Live on TH-cam and you quickly notice how teslas parts all look like it was all designed in one go, it all fits perfectly together with a level of integration unseen before. All by taking a different philosophy and doing whatever makes the most sense on the long run.
I can't wait to see if those half shafts can take the kind of load the new power system will bring to the table- I'd carry some of those in the off road bag if I was you. (I have a 2001 H1 and have snapped a few of them when torque got crazy.) Love this series cause if it works out. I'm doing it.
Those things are gonna snap right away. No way they'll hold up
@@andrewk8636 Bet he's going to get some carbon fiber ones made. That be a pretty cool episode for this series.
Thanks for the metric units!
so hyped for this project, looks like you're having fun!
Hey Zack,
You're doing awesome work there, I can't wait to see all your coming videos about this project particularly.
But, are you going to install all that new equipment in the truck without cleaning and repainting the engine area at least?
His name's Zack
It's called mock up.
You’re really a fun, intelligent and hardworking guy Zack! Keep it up 🙌
Fucksaik. Hi can we be fends
This is the video series I needed. Researching about turning an old salvage Wagoneer into an electric crawler
This series is so damn good so far. Really like that you continuing to branch out with projects and videos well beyond phones.
Jerry is like a Indian TH-camr who completely breakdown complex technicality into simple methods that can be understood by common people….hats off
Well his name is Zach
Click so fast! Always coming up with a very informative video 🙌🔥
why you comment on every vedio on YT?
🛑stop
your review is very much professionally explained... thanks
First time on this channel, not even 3 minutes in and I can tell with all certainty that, THIS GUY IS A GENIUS!😮
Hello sir, please talk to me
You spelled "RichAF" wrong
Where are you from?
Can I make friendship?
so...my only question is...how do you waterproof all the new electric parts and make it off roadable as the original was with water crossings and such(reasonable depth) not completely submerged
He doesn't, this is to be used on city streets
I'll bet a lot of the parts are already pretty water resistant, but I'm curious also
Kydex. It wouldn't take much to just close off those components with flat sheets, but, you can heat and form it too. Indigo black works for the color.
Taking an off-road vehicle off-road in the 20's?! Are you high?
besides the individual battery modules, automotive grade power electronics/motors require high level of IP rating, IP69K which resists high pressure water, solids,dust,.....If this builder uses the proper connectors, with matching gaskets I could see this going through streams no problem.
Zack: *literally buildings car*
Me: *laughing at him saying twerk box*
Cool update, sounds like it will be a big improvement.
“My mom makes some very good bread”

Parts Store: So how much torque do you want?
Zach: Yes
Wow that's nuts! With all that torque that thing could tow godzilla!
No one:
Jerry's mom: "I brought you a lil baby loaf of bread"
*thumbs up for that*
