Whenever you're drilling into metal (such as into the frame of the HUMMV) It's a good practice to coat the freshly drilled holes with primer, paint or clear coat to prevent rust. Just a tip!
@@TechDove I meant that after spending just a bit of time on his channel you will realize how unnecessary your comment was. Even in this video he explains the importance of finding the right brush so as to avoid the potential risk of rust forming within the microcracks left behind by the bristles (which can happen when the wrong metal brush is used). I'm pretty sure his rust-preventing skills on newly drilled holes are up to date.
This is such a cool project. One day when I have the space to do something like that, I’d love to do my own EV conversion too! Thank you for letting us take part in this amazing project.
I love the effort he puts into the camera work because it really lets you experience the build. Putting a camera on a piece as he feeds it in... Great. It's gotta make everything take so much longer but truly makes it feel like we're part of the build.
I highly recommend adding insulation between the carbon steel of the vehicle and the stainless mounts. Galvanic Corrosion will be a huge problem in the future otherwise.
@@Yman83464z really anything non conducive. Carbon fiber sheet may work but you would have to watch that it doesn’t break down over time. When I used to design cattle trailers we used UMC plastic. It held up really well.
Looking sharp this machine. One thing to keep in mind with using stainless steel along side more standard mild steel is you will need an insulator at the junctions between the different metals, as Stainless steel and mild steel react chemically with each other causing corrosion. In the Stainless trade usually a nylon or Acetal pad at the interface is often used.
@@syedsulaiman8380 Are you sure, that Zack is the designer? From my perspective it looks like he hired somebody to do all of the "smart computer stuff" and he is just assembling it
It cost him a wrecked tesla model X (taking the battery from it ) or maybe buying the battery alone or maybe getting it new from tesla, + an airplane tug electric motor+ many many stuff , count the most expensive stuff first battery pack 13700$ + the aircraft tug electric motor price from 10000$ to 30000$ ... i would say it gonna be in the end like 60000$
My dad a mechanic, I grew up watching him do his thing. Sometimes helped, sometimes didn't. Tbh I just loved watching him be so passionate about something, good times.. This type of video, really bring me back to then.
Ooooohhhhh boy! I’m so fired up on this series. And also super jealous your doing a h1. My electric motorcycle build is months underway and I’m still no closer to having videos done 😅
Ritch-rebuilds also needs to electrify an military short version 2 doors pick-up H1 Hummer (he already got it) but this project is looking like it will be finished + is much cooler if is 4 doors +rear bed.. (not bashing uncle Rich here but he started so many projects at Electrify garage that i'm not really sure when is going to work on it's Humvee)..
Many years ago, some friends and I were working on an EV conversion of a Porsche 911 that was owned by a famous cardiologist here in Austin. I got to work on the 240VAC heater coil and using the press brake to create the box that it got mounted in. Because we were using AC power and chose to use 240V, we could just import most of the electrical parts we needed from the UK, if there weren’t already suitable 240VAC parts here in the US. But this beast beats that Porsche, hands down!!!
I wasn't expecting such an interesting intro with a conversation of Zack's present and past self (well, past for only a week but whatever). My day is complete and *any scratches at level 6 with deeper grooves at level 7 are fixed.*
You can hide the electric cables by feeding them through the frame rails. Just make access holes then tie some rope on one end and feed it through. Frame rails provide protection from rocks and pulling. Just an idea.
Only a good idea if the cables can be secured inside the frame rail every 6 inches to a foot. Otherwise they can vibrate against surfaces and wear through the insulation. Even rubbing on a flat plate will eventually wear through as it vibrates.
Out of thousands of ev build video projects on TH-cam I like Jerry's EV build the most . There is something in his explanation that you don't want to skip the video for even a second
19:00 This is where you see how everything was planned. Seeing this makes us understand how much of planning went through to make everything perfectly fit.. Hats off..!! 😊👍
My 12 yr old inner self loves this video. It has everything. A Humvee, lasers, welding, lubrication for easy insertion, big ass electric motors, bigger shafts for a higher workload, a bald Tandy, not having to be as big because they don't take the load immediately... Everything
Instead of a simple window to view into the doghouse, why not an electrically conductive panel, aka Smartglass? Opaque to clear switches by applying or removing voltage. Would make a really nice finishing touch to show off the engine compartment!
When I was learning how to weld my sensei told me, "If you're not good at welding you'll get good at grinding.", I see you're also following the same practice.
Been through Zack's Facebook account and it made me appreciate humble beginnings and resilience. Am motivated to get started on all that I've been procrastinating
Heh, right after I make my little video about waterjet cutting and a manual brake, this shows up in my feed, with a 10 kilowatt laser and an automated brake!
A huge amount of projects and EV conversion attempts are already started and abandoned. Zach here does make it look easy, but anything looks easy when it's meticulously planned and supported by experts. Plus, $. Also, more $. Did I mention there are quite a few $ involved?
@@extectic He explained that in detail his last video. He 3d modeled the whole project so he knew exactly how it all was going to fit before spending a dime. Then you budget from there. He didnt just plan as he went he knew exactly what he needed from the beginning.
Except phones are so small and it takes a master skill to get parts out and in. Brute force ruins it in a nanosecond Lol. Epic skills on both end of the spectum. Both are fortunate to have those skills!
Hey Zack, I think we all will be very interested in learning more about the issues too, e.g. the attachment of your torque box. So please from next episode, if possible, please include those parts too.
Hi Jerry just remember the following when Long bolts are being utilized: The tightening force must be applied to the nut to avoid torsional wind-up issues. This is for the bolts through the chassis (12:25 of the video) (this is just a tip) I really like your work, extremely professional. Keep it going
This is one of the best TH-cam series I have seen. Would love to see you do a series on how you planned the project, its something I struggle with regardless of size but seeing how you planed such a big project would be so amazing and I bet others would love to see it too
Japanese SUV design philosophy dictates that their hummer is at least 30% slower than the US diesel hummer, which is like 70% slower than the electric hummer. So this would be a very conclusive race I think.
I used to work in a metal forming factory and they had many CNC machines and a Laser cutter. I always loved running the laser cutter and the Vipros king. Stamp work is pretty dull but brake press and the CNCs were fun.
@@julesvermillion321 the tonne the Americans use is the imperial tonne, the metric tonne has a different weight 😁 so think you use the imperial tonne still
I was gonna make a witty and hopefully funny exclamation about you not being PhotonicInduction complete with prefacing it with the word "gasp!" but then I realized I didn't know how to put the punchline together and so, well, this. Uh, I'll just say I'd like a laser like that, and that I'd imagine its a Styropyro approved laser :P
@@mavamQ these units are tube lasers. They're actually known for lasting years. The problems associated with maintenance are mostly the slag that needs to be scrapped off, the massive amount of heat produced, optic alignment, and the nasty chemicals used to keep the cooling system from growing microbiology. The entire cooling system needs to be flushed regularly. And you don't want the chemicals on your skin, or just laying around. I hated working on them. Absolutely amazing machines though.
@@originalbigtee You are wrong. This is fiber type laser, not CO2. They produce less heat and have much less optics. And Jerry is actually a bit off too. Fiber lasers are much faster on thin sheets of metal, but it won't cut trough 1 inch sheet. For this you need CO2 lasers. Trumpf make both types of lasers. And it's not giant, it's the smallest one from trumpf :P
I am an aircraft mechanic, if I am correct the mount for the invertor is aluminum and the mount base is aluminum. This can cause galvanic corrosion and can be mitigated by isolating the two with phenolics or even paint. I have rods of nylon and Teflon and I make isolators from them on my lathe. Lexan canopy cover for the engine cover with a light inside the engine bay! I wish I was there to help build this beauty!
Key to aluminum welding is controlling heat, take your time and make smaller welds at a time, let it cool a little then hit it again. This is helpful for thinner materials and or not using a good amp control with your welder:
Good work great video! The little bit of grease you added to the urethane bushings will rapidly cause them to fail! I learned this the hard way, if you are going to apply lubricant silicone or graphite won't hurt them
Hey Jerry. I noticed that when you dropped the motor in you might be putting metal against metal and then bolting it up. This is just me thinking about vibration and two metals rubbing against each other. It might be a good idea to lift it back up and put a rubber mat down to stop friction rubbing and reduce vibration. But its your truck man. You do you and its looing awsome so far. I was a Bradley mechanic in the Army for 15 yrs so I worked on everything we had in the motorpools. So this project has my interest peaked.
When you get done with this I would LOVE to have a cost breakdown... I know a guy with an H1 that has a blown engine who I have been trying to convince to let me buy, and this would be perfect for that truck (If I can convince him to let me buy it... so far he has been pretty stubborn)
If you use a flat sheet of rubber underneath where the pump mounts to the frame and then possibly rubber washers underneath the bolts themselves that'll isolate the pump and it'll do a great deal of curing that busing noise it won't make it go away it'll just help it a lot
This electric humvee conversion takes your channel to a whole new level! I don't think going back to phone torture testing will ever be satisfying to you again.
Just a clarification, AC or DC, (nearly) all motors can be used in all quadrants (generator and motor). DC motors with armature, commutator and stater can be used as a dynamo (a DC generator) if you excite the stator with a moderate current and the armature generates the DC. However in practice, DC series wound motors (like those in golf carts) are only used because they are cheaper. By the same token, they don't bother with regen because the controller to support that is more complex and more expensive. Depending on how the DC motor is wound and wired, regen braking can be like trying to balance on top of a beach ball. Very unstable, either generating no power, or way too much and burning something up.
Glad you talked about oshcut in-depth, I’ve been in NEED of a place that would CNC cut some 3/4” steel for the hydraulic leg build for my RV. I will certainly send my Fusion360 files to see how soon I can get them. Thanks!

This is just me thinking about vibration and two metals rubbing against each other. It might be a good idea to lift it back up and put a rubber mat down to stop friction rubbing and reduce vibration. But its your truck man. You do you and its looing awsome so far. I was a Bradley mechanic in the Army for 15 yrs so I worked on everything we had in the motorpools. So this project has my interest peaked.
He is completing his project faster than most car channels 😂😂
Rich Rebuild & SamCrac (edit: + Tavarish) in specifics XD
@@g60force tavarish
Lmao this looked so fast i wonder will it be done in 2 days?
Zack: you definitely don't wanna miss whats coming.
Me: I definitely don't wanna miss whats coming.
I’m really loving this series and I’m in for the ride, I also love how much you love telling us about the details, can’t wait to see more of this ❤️❤️
Been missing Old School Wheeler dealers for years, and just found this guy and it’s finally on par with that. Well done, GREAT SERIES
Jerry, were you offering Tim Dodd the everyday astronaut to cut starship steel with that laser machine?
Yup!
@@JerryRigEverything contact me about the motors i told you about
I love this guy, he is such a can-do’er very inspirational. I want to be like him 👍🏻
When you get done with this I would LOVE to have a cost breakdown... I know a guy with an H1 that has a blown engine who I have been trying to convince to let me buy, and this would be perfect for that truck (If I can convince him to let me buy it... so far he has been pretty stubborn)
I would just swap a real engine/tranny combo into it. You know....like a built vk56 or just stock with boost and the 6 speed.
Or a Duramax, or a 12v or???
Best conversion on TH-cam hands down
Can't wait for more, this seems to be the most interesting video so far today 😄
This whole project is so entertaining and inspiring. Cheers for the solid lockdown content
This is the quality of a video JRE makes. Just insane.
If you use a flat sheet of rubber underneath where the pump mounts to the frame and then possibly rubber washers underneath the bolts themselves that'll isolate the pump and it'll do a great deal of curing that busing noise it won't make it go away it'll just help it a lot
When it comes to “torque”, the serious talking starts. Serious Torque🤩
This electric humvee conversion takes your channel to a whole new level! I don't think going back to phone torture testing will ever be satisfying to you again.
He will have to convert another vehicle to electric like a Porsche lmao
Jerry: "Mounting my Elect..."
Everyone: "OMG here it is!"
Just a clarification, AC or DC, (nearly) all motors can be used in all quadrants (generator and motor). DC motors with armature, commutator and stater can be used as a dynamo (a DC generator) if you excite the stator with a moderate current and the armature generates the DC. However in practice, DC series wound motors (like those in golf carts) are only used because they are cheaper. By the same token, they don't bother with regen because the controller to support that is more complex and more expensive.
Depending on how the DC motor is wound and wired, regen braking can be like trying to balance on top of a beach ball. Very unstable, either generating no power, or way too much and burning something up.
The cutter: Starts cutting steel
The camera: Alright, I'm head out
7:25
Zack: "It's good but it's missing something... Let's put lasers"
🤣
The title is sort of misleading.
@@ventilate4267 Just like 90% of TH-cam
Command & Conquer Generals Avenger Humvee comes into mind.
Zack knows everything 🙂
@@naitikmishra7067 Only Zack would know how to install lasers into a hummer...
I love how the laser after it cuts through something it has the glowing metal behind it just like a lightsaber through the blast doors
Glad you talked about oshcut in-depth, I’ve been in NEED of a place that would CNC cut some 3/4” steel for the hydraulic leg build for my RV. I will certainly send my Fusion360 files to see how soon I can get them. Thanks!
I love how Zach sounds so patient...but sometimes you need a sledge/hammer/mallet

Hmm yess.. I know a bit about this myself

12:26 is exactly how the non-lubrication thing would sound.
This series and the consistency is just 🔥🔥
This dude is so chill..he is perfect for a teacher
