No oil pumps, hydraulic pressure, or clutches. Just a simple belt & pulley system to transmit the same tension force. Switching from forward to reverse is controlled by the motor controller. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Look at how clean that engine/motor bay is. No oil leaks, no grease splatter. no gunge build up mixed with that horrible diesel smell. I love this idea. like all good ideas, clean and simple.
Imagine just transfer the unit into your car sport rims front and back. Small car like the Aptera or any 3 wheeler.
and now to actually find a dependable way to power it .

Large diesel engine with a gen set.
@@assassinlexx1993 well then in that case you do not need the electric drive motor . just use a two or three speed transmission like in most boats along with the diesel motor.
Yeah, just keep in that bay really dry.
Thank you! This is just what I was looking for. Perfect for a jet impeller. You even put the link in the description! Much likes man!
Glad I could help!
I have so many questions... Great vid! This is definitely the type of system I'm going to use!
I just found your channel. I am going to convert out my 42' Chris Craft Commander to electric and was looking for ideas. You have a new follower! Very, very nice conversion you have.
Awesome set up man!
Fitted one of these motors to my wooden Slipper Launch about 20 years ago. It lasted about 2 summer seasons before it started cutting out. Changed it for an old school electric motor and its still going strong 18 years on.
This one has been running 8 years and counting. I guess they improved from the time you had one. 👍
Just converted to electric propulsion on my 55ft long , 15tonne steel narrowboat !! Used two 100lbs thrust 24v, 50amp motors ... works a treat !! Currently running on 4 x 100amh lead starter batteries that give me 200amh so it's not an all day cruise but saving up for semi traction batteries, and they will allow me to crùse for up to 5 hrs per bank... love the silence and the fumeless atmosphere !!! Absolutely no turning back to deisel now...
How much did your conversion run you?
@@Capnmax with solar , £1100 .
Motors 400
Batteries 400
Solar 200
Wiring and breakers 100
Do you have any youtube vids or pix you can share? I have 63-yr-old 42-ft shallow draft wooden sailboat with single screw 50 hp Ford Lehman diesel that I want to convert to elec. Wondering what combo of motor and batteries it might require. Any suggestions or thoughts would be appreciated.
@@AquaCul2R I've loaded up my first ever video today .. God knows how ya find it but it's had 2 views already so I know it's there somewhere...
Take a look at sailing Uma too ... they converted their Sail boat to electric propulsion , though if you havnt much finances you've nothing much to lose experimenting with trolling motors . I put two on my barge because I wanted greater steering but really one on its own would be sufficient for my use. I've cruised at 2 to 3mph using just one motor !
@@jasonwoods3711 well, you're right, it's not uploaded to your youtube channel, th-cam.com/channels/3fDDB3y_z5cEhZiNcrgSLw.html so if you ever find it you could try pasting the URL into the comments here
Wow what a clean setup
In a month it will all get rusted..
Yes yes yes! I Love It. I going to go look to see if you have more content
Man! I’m Loving it!💯
Yup just a big rc boat ... Cool ... Very clean aswell 🔥
very nice installation BTW i love Tolly Craft boats myself i have not personally owned one yet but i do plan on having one eventually as i’ve owned 17 or 18 other boats so far Power ,Sail , and yes even human powered i do have a love for Traditionally designed hullscand Ed Monk designs so therefore the Tollys fit in that Category as well as being known for high quality and Ocen Water Vessels i also love their spacious layouts on the interiors as they give the best of Motor Yachts combined with Trawlers
Beatiful!! And smart..
Awesome video, Keep it up :)
Just Beautiful 💯👏🏻
I want one! An electric car really won't work for my needs but I could get behind an electric boat! Instant throttle response. No gassy hands while fishing. Quiet while trolling. I just wish it wasn't so expensive.
I like this. Free energy nice and quiet. Best part is not complicated.
GREAT JOB.
Its years late but I would have used an automotive hub and bearing assembly as the driven shaft bearing as it can handle the belt loads and the thrust loads. A cv joint is needed to stop the inner races from splitting but could also handle flex or small alignment issues.
Beautiful
One of those with a small diesel motor for power generation would be cool, if you have a big enough battery bank the diesel motor could effectively just idle to keep the charge up. I realize that this is likely for silent boating. Pretty dang cool none the less
actually, its a much lighter to just run some solar panels. far less weight also. and you never have to find gas. wind turbines are also a great idea, when its cloudy maybe the wind will be blowing, and you'll still be recharging batteries when anchored or at sea, day and night. as long as the wind is blowing. not sure why they are using bladed wind generators and not the tumbler type, or the round cylendar generators..
@@danratsnapnames yes, it would be lighter to just run solar panels, however i dont think *just* solar panels will keep up to higher demand or long term propulsion unless you have a very large battery bank which would be heavier than a small battery bank and a diesel electric generator. You can benefit by having both solar panels and the diesel generator and have the generator on stop/start so it turns on when the batteries get to a certain percentage then you might only need to let it run for 10 minutes every hour.
@@The_JEB wait what? are you thinking lead acid battery weight? because you can do lithium 48 volt bank that will easily be 1/2 the weight of the engine alone.. and dont forget gas weighs upwards of 8.6 POUNDS per gallon. think you can pretty much get a battery bank big enough for long term use easily with the engine weight and gas weight. also, consider if you have enough solar panels you can literally power the motor plus some to charge. just saying your idea of battery weight may be a bit off from todays battery tech.
What manufacturer setup do you have there? Also what KW? Love to see your battery setup as well. I have a twin engine search.
Replace the packing gland with a PSS or mechanical seal , Less drag on the propeller shaft.
Ya, it makes sense,...a lot of science...nice....I've just restored a USCC Certified 14 rowboat.
It's rare and pretty sweet lines, according to a Finnish boat builder, Tito Boats...I'm using a modified trolling motor...I love teak!!!
Years ago I made a 1937 GarWood electric with direct shaft connect machine tool DC spindle motor.
What have you done to allow for forward and reverse thrust forces applied by the prop shaft against the motor itself?
Whow that is awesome
Cheers :) It only gets better!
This seems to me the way to go. I'm curious how the weight compares, when you factor in engine weight, fuel weight, motor weight and battery weight.
The engine weight definetly compensates for how heavy the batteries are. But if there is one MAJOR PRO to this, is that you can have one or two solar panels on top of the boat and so you never get stranded. While if you run on gas, then you have to be careful about that.
Thank you.
I like this idea and plan on gets boat myself but I want it fully electric with solar panels. Im a welder at the shipyard and see the money ppl spend on vessel’s are crazy. Electric is the future.
So 17HP, that is basically a trolling motor on a boat that size. How long does the battery last? Don't get me wrong its a cool set up, its clean as a kitchen, but is it really practical?
What kind of performance does it get?
I used an Agni Motor in my electric motorcycle...Great motor EXCEPT don't expect the brushes to last long. I was replacing them every 1,500 miles at $90. Finally switched to brushless.
I haven't needed to replace the brushes in 7 years. I inspect them yearly and they are still good. I think there is a quality difference between the LMC and Agni. (this video is 6 years old btw) Cheers!
Is this a DC motor or an AC motor with a VFD that converts DC to AC?
How much did the controller and motor cost please ????
Thanks for the video! I don't see the thrust bearing. I want a similar setup. But I have a 5000 rpm motor. Only need 2000 rpm to get hull speed. So should I do gear reduction or direct drive? Also, need to understand options for that thrust bearing....
You won't see 5,000 RPM when you actually put a load on the motor. Without gear reduction you put a lot of stress on the motor as well. So I would say you could do a 2 to 1 gear reduction or something close to that. The nice thing is that you can experiment a little bit if you just have to swap a pulley. You will also gain torque with gear reduction. So it depends on your goal. As far as thrust bearings the original equipment will work fine. Or at least it should.
Love the set up. Wonder if I can do this with my 25’ Chris Craft? Already have solar and lithium. Any suggestions on how to get a set up like yours? So nice...
Should be very similar. You just need to be happy doing displacement speeds. Chris Craft / Tollycrafts have a compromised hull which is why they call them semi-planning or semi-displacement. It takes a lot of energy to get to a "fake" plane to get past your hull speed. That said, this is a simple set up that is great for weekender boats.
Where did you get your dual motor throttle controls?
What watt motor do you use?
Really what watt motor 🤣🤣

How very cool. How big of a boat (weight) can a 13kw motor push? Just for 5mph and below trolling
on eTolly there are two of these motors (twin prop) - the boat weighs about 12,000lbs. To do 5 miles per hour equires about 30amps per side. So that is around 2.2kW x 2 = 4.4kW. That will last close to 4hrs before 50% of discharge. I use heavy duty golfcart batteries so I can discharge them a little deeper. Often 80%. That gets me 6hrs at that speed. If I was to go slower for fishing (2-3knots for salmon) the time on the water would be exponentially more. (nature of lead batteries) Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
Simple question, on your dash controls, there are two handles, what’s the left one for?
Are there more than one motor ie: twin props ?
Yes
what battery set up do you have to run at 72 volts?
in the battleborn manual it says they can only be connected in series up to 48v...
Leads. 6V interstate GC2 (golf carts)
it beats the others
Very nice !!! I’m doing the same thing with my Bertram 35!! but I’m still thinking about keeping both gas engines and make some sorter of clutch to run the electric or both or just gas, idk any ideias how that may work please ?
Great idea man back up is a must all the time.
Have a look at the Sampson boat company on TH-cam, he's thinking of fitting a diesel/electric propulsion system, episode 87
look at parallel hybrid engines. Electric and diesel connections
I like my air cooled 168F Chinese diesel. It's lighter and cheaper than electric and it charges a battery well. The dry air heat is welcome.
What's the make and model? It might be a good candidate for anyone looking to build a hybrid
@@ElectricCruiser Several Chinese companies make the same 168F 196 CC motor. The one with the oil fill and injector pump on the rear cover, not crankcase is preferred. Amazon or eBay. You can also find a plethora of larger motors such as 211, 247, 418 CC, etc and described with names like 173F, 186F, etc. Smaller will give you better emphasis on battery charging. Bigger will leave more spare power for the prop. I won't run my tiny 3 horsepower at 3 HP, but half that and less than 2000 RPM's. Watch the oil consumption during break in hours. It can be way high.
@@stanleybest8833 Cheers, thanks
thanks for awesome vid! advantages/disadvantages of direct drive vs. belt and pulley?
2:1 pulley ratio allows the torque to be amplified 2X (at the cost of RPM). This puts less load on the motor.
For a boat this size and design as well as using motors this small, torque is more useful.
could you tie in an alternator to help with charging while running the engine?
parasitic loss would exceed energy recaptured.
Can we see it underway?
Do you have a electrical plans for for the system on your boat??
I'll be going over it shortly when I complete the upgrade
Now I just got to figure out how to make it shift between a track clutch and a jet impeller clutch and this is the perfect thing for an electric amphibious motor dog! So sweet. Do you know the specs on the motors operating range; kw peak, kw vs rpm, operating voltage? Do they sell impeller housing, or prop shaft bulkheads like on your rig? If not, do you know where to get them?
You could do something like the dog that an outboard uses to shift from forward to reverse.
Where I can buy the stearing lever/stearing shaft for electric or you made them by yourself?
Steering levers and anything for directional control etc came with the boat! Is that what you are asking? Basically, the only parts you'll need are couplers to couple the motor shaft to the prop shaft. You may have to make your own mounts or buy them from a reseller. (You'll also need to buy or make your own throttle th-cam.com/video/3n8zipVEyMI/w-d-xo.html )
Simple question, on your dash controls, there are two handles, what’s the left one for?
The second motor. She is a twin prop👍
what kind of fire suppression system do you run for your battery array? Or is it just enclosed in metal? Will the metal melt if the batteries combust?
I use wet lead GC2 batteries. Standard battery boxes. Cheers
Thats sweet
Is that a brushless motor?
What’s max speed under full power? In that boat?
It a 17 hp equivalent. Probably 3 knots. For a few minutes.
Lol not fast
As its been a few years since the install. How do you rate the set up, im thinking of change over on a 31ft cruiser 6 tons. Will it cross long distance. Great video thanks.
same here, mine is 30ft and 7.5tons, but the idea is the same.
Same here. 35 ft and 6 tons. I am in the middle of the conversion and lost. :(
How do you prevent the prop from moving inward and outward ? And why use a 13kw motor ? I have two 1.25kw trolling motors comfortably powering my 54" narrowboat made of steel !!
The bearing on the end of the shaft, under the motor, is a thrust bearing (which means it keeps the shaft - and so the prop - from moving).
Hi, did you used any thrust bearings in the system to prevent the transfer of thrust to the transmission pulleys and motor?
There is a 'light duty' bearing before the coupler but as I understand it thrust bearings are more common with larger and more powerful boats with higher axial load. The bearing came with the mounting frame provided. We did talk about upgrading to a proper thrust bearing at the time of the install felt but it wasn't necessary. With that in mind we also used softer engine mounts to achieve better alignment and vibration absorption. The result is a much quieter drive train. After 5 years there have been no issues. Thanks for watching!
There should be a pedestal bearing between the tail shaft and coupling ,
@@bongmerced5842 Thank you!
I need this motor... where can i buy this???
Would it be possible to have a small generator on board to run this motor if it was a AC motor
Yes, you would want a battery bank powering an inverter to power the motor to eliminate the fluctuating voltage from a gas generator, then use your generator to keep the batteries at full charge, compensate for the amp draw of the inverter. Others have used the generator directly to the motor controller, and have found that the generator's voltage fluctuation was drastically shortening the life of the controller and motor. The newer model inverter generators are better but can still fluctuate.
@@timmorris3056 Or a capacitor, but then of course long term storage is an issue. Plus at 13kw, you can run that on an inverter generator and get a perfect sine wave.
What brand and model of that electric motor sir?
Lynch - more about the setup here: th-cam.com/video/n0Uw0m6oArM/w-d-xo.html
could I use a pillow block bearing to absorb the thurst?
You would want a proper thrust bearing to absorb thrust
How big of a boat is this on?
I would like a little more info
about the boat and build.
th-cam.com/users/ElectricTollycraft
I bet that sounds to clean and whines like a new jet engine when it gets going and must be VERY easy to swap out the motor, with a more powerful unit if so desired.
What size boat is used here. Awesome job👍
30 Ft, 28.5 at the waterline. 11 ft Beam. 3ft Draft. - 12 -14 thousand lbs. Big. Heavy. Old. Beautiful ;)
Thanks for watching. Cheers.
Can you show your battery setup and how you have it wired? I am thinking of adding something like you have to my motor boat. I will just put the gas engines in neutral then run off electric.
Youcandoittech sure! I'm heading to the boat tomorrow and will shoot a quick video. I'll also talk about Thermoil which is a de-mister product I use that reduces the maintenance on the batteries significantly. There is a video here that talks about that in particular eboatingworld.com/oiling-your-batteries-with-thermoil/
Why the belt vs a direct in line mount? There appears to be space.
Gear reduction reduces speed but increases torque. A rule of thumb is that it increases the torque proportionally. i.e. if you have a 2:1 gear ration and the motor torque is 30, then the driven gear would be 60. DC motors produce a lot of starting torque and with a heavy cabin cruiser doing displacement speeds, torque is more valuable than hp. Cheers!
Big like👍👍👍👍👍
Hey, how’s things? Could You have adapted a CVT for the drive train?
Cvt transmissions are only useful for internal combustion engines. They’re designed to make use of a engines torque band. E motors are just balls to the wall
CVT isn't required here. The motor provides virtually flat torque across the band.
The motor will have plenty of rpm range.
Dont supose you have drawings / cad designs that make up your engine mount that you'd be willing to share? The costs for similar offical mounts seems to be extortionate.
Sorry no. It was provided by Clean eMarine as a package.
Can we see your battery setup, please? Thanks and clean installation!
What? You wanna compare who has the biggest battery? LOL
@@nattsurfaren tesla's new cylindrical calls are plenty thick eh? four'll give you a 12v footlong
I'm just learning the components to make an electric inboard motor/system, and I have a question: why is this motor better for your application at twice the price of a ME1302 Liquid-Cooled Brushless Motor (AC)? I'm just trying to figure out why it would be better to pay 2x the price for the Lynch 13kW Motor (DC).
For a motorcycle you are correct to go with an AC liquid cooled motor.
This conversion is on a big old heavy cabin cruiser boat. So the use case is quite different. DC motors offer consistent torque at low RPMs which is what I needed. This conversion was done seven years ago. I posted a link in this comment to a video that talks a little bit about AC and DC and what they are best used for

@@ElectricCruiser I'm trying to watch all your videos, and I'm not sure how I missed that one. Thank you.
@@cochorrorshow1005 it was probably suppressed because I spoke about coronavirus and Wuhan. Social media has been brutal that way....aiming for one narrative to rule them all haha.
Hope the video makes sense. Thanks for watching! Cheers.
Good stuff!! What about top speed?
love the throttles, any idea where to get those?
That particular video is about 6 years old. The throttle came with an out-of-the-box setup by a company called Clean-e. The throttles were designed in the Netherlands but not 100% sure who. The issue is that their system is proprietary in terms of motor controller / throttle wiring. When I bumped up to 72V I needed a new throttle set so I retrofitted an old pair which I explain how to build here.Cheers! th-cam.com/video/3n8zipVEyMI/w-d-xo.html
Have you thought about using a Lovejoy coupling as a dampener? Works great to absorb quick shock loads.
I think I looked at it years ago but there is no way to connect the hubs. Normally the shafts are bolted together via the coupler. I haven't seen a product from lovejoy that does that. They might have it but I haven't seen it.
There are also magnaloy couplers similar to lovejoy and there are omega coupler Wich is a little larger but better for vibration and stops and starts
Hi love your video can you tell me will this work on a 57 ft narrowboat and if possible can you tell me what roughly would it cost me thanks Gary.
Thanks for watching, you might want to double the motor setup like this... www.lynchmotors.co.uk/marine-motors/swordfish.html
Hi could you add an alternator to charge to batterys. Just wondering
I suppose you could but for my current setup I would required two 72V alternators. When I shot this video 6 years ago, the boat was set up with two 48V banks (twin prop/ two motors/ two power banks.) Since then, I've bumped everything up to 72 volts...that said, from what I've read in other forums the alternator setup falls prey to the law of diminishing returns. Cheers 🍻
So why did you reduce? Electric motors have maximum torque at minimum revs. Are you worried about the prop cavitating?
Reducing amplifies the torque. So if it is 2:1 you pretty much double the torque. This is a big heavy boat and requires a lot of push. Thanks for watching. Cheers!
That little motor on a full-size boat? I’m familiar with brushless RC motors and that’s what I saw except only 2 wires,? I seriously thought it was for a model.
There are two little motors.
th-cam.com/users/ElectricTollycraft
What is this❓ how I can see more?
how will that hold up pushing a 5 to 9 knot current for hrs at a time. top speed.can you even get on plane to cruise for any length of time effective range need some real world answers
The video you're looking at is six years old. It's also not a planing boat. Lots of videos since this one mate.
Has anyone considered a CV Joint?
Hey folks where can I get this fitted Uk does anyone know and how much for a twin thx
www.lynchmotors.co.uk/marine-motors.html
Cheers!
can that work on a jetski?? i heard i need like a 144v huge motor ?
This is a DC traction motor for slow cruising. For a jet ski/sea doo you would need a higher-powered AC motor and a high performance motor controller/VFD . Then you would also need some high-capacity lithium packs. Everything would need to be liquid cooled and completely sealed from any water. TBH you would be better off sticking with gas. Unfortunately the tech just isn't there yet. If it is, I haven't seen it.
Can you give a breakdown of your system pls. Motor hp, controllers, battery bank, recharge system, solar if you are using it. How many knots can you maintain continuously, est. Thanks
Avoid this motor at all costs if is the one made in India.
Jim Braslow what do you suggest is a better option. I’m trying to convert my 25’ Dusky?
Is there any bearing used along with the larger pulley?
Sorry for the late reply. There is a bearing in the mount before the coupler to the shaft.
@@ElectricCruiser Can you give details on the thrust bearing? I have a similar system on the drawing board but am having trouble sourcing that part.
@@bobkart I only use a coupler and the bearing that came with the kit at the time that I bought it. For some reason I believe it's a Japanese make but I haven't had a close look at it in a while. I would talk to Trevor from LMC electric motors in the UK. Or you could talk to Michael from Bluefin electric Marine. I haven't had source that part so I apologize for not having more information.
@@ElectricCruiser Thanks for your help!
How max power does tihs produce translated in to speed, for a 7 - 9 m boat?
Depends on the hull type. What kind of boat? Sail? Cruiser? Catamaran? Tug style?
Can you share your electrical scheme , very thank
Is it possible to use this set up in a watercraft ?
It's in a boat :) cheers!
Let's see what it will do !!!!
Doesn't it overheat during longer work?
Technically yes but it's rare. That said, I blew one of them years ago but that was a used motor and I didn't know the history of it. I replaced the core and it's been fine ever since. There is a video of that somewhere on the channel hahah Thanks for watching, Cheers!
Who is the manufacturer who can we contact to buy the system or the kit?

Nice installation where did you by the motor
bluefin electric marine
In a clamp on outboard configuration this would be awesome.
@Ronald Hess they pull to much power compared to a modern brushless motor
1 Gallon of Gas = 33.410107 Kilowatt Hours, It's hard to get past this power density. Diesel is naturally higher. It looks cool but 13kW is equal to 17.4 hp and a battery for a small boat half the size of a truck isn't going to work. Some day we'll figure this out. We have ships that can run for a year without refueling,,, Nuclear powered., that's power density.
@@robertjackson7590 I'm not even going to try checking your math,I can tell you from direct experience that the speed and friction of an object affects how much mass can be moved by a given amount of power or force. For example as a deckhand for a river barge company I have routinely moved 100ton barges back and forth to change moorings using nothing but my body weight pulling on a line. To move something slowly takes very little power compared to moving faster
@@ronaldharris6569 Simple online calculator;
www.calculateme.com/energy/gallons-of-gas/to-kilowatt-hours/
13kW is equal to 17.4 hp
www.calculateme.com/power/kilowatts/to-horsepower/13
I grew up working as a mechanic on boats, planing, displacement, barges. ski boats, yachts. Find an electric boat that can run all day on a charge with any performance standard compared to it's gas or diesel equivalent, it doesn't exist unless it's diesel/electric.
I cup of gasoline in vapor form is equal to 2 sticks of dynamite, that's a lot of energy. Brush or brushless motor, 2 hours of run time before battery depletion isn't satisfactory even if you match power levels.
I would love an electric motor to replace my 250HP HPDI Yamaha, 20 ft and still push it 75-80. As long as it didn't add a 1000lb battery. Let me know if you run into anything.
@@ronaldharris6569 Again I would love it if my boat was electric but not too high of a voltage. This guy does a great job going over the battery density problem if you have a couple of minutes. I think instead of working on the next level we need to be working on the level above that, HHO, small thorium reactors or whatever that level would be. The problem is jumping levels is not what humans do very often.
th-cam.com/video/Hatav_Rdnno/w-d-xo.html
BTW, I moved a 90ft barge one time pushing as hard as I could for a couple of minutes and it started to move. Surprised me the first time I tried it so I do know what you mean. Once you reach a displacement hulls max speed it will take twice the power for every probably 5mph gain above that. Be safe.
Can we see the size of the battery please
How much range does this setup have, how big is the battery pack, and how much speed do you get out of it? Another question is how big is the boat?
For short range use this might be ok but for long range like crossing the Atlantic not a snowballs chance in a blast furnace.
Dude, when was the last time you have seen a 1973 30 ft cabin cruiser cross the Atlantic?lol 🙃😅✌️
@@ElectricCruiser seen a lot of things while I was in the COAST GUARD so you never know, NORDHAVN has a 41 footer that has been around the globe 3 times on 8ts own hull.
@@mysticwolf2842 how many times did it have to fuel up?
Actually I did the math. It would have had to fuel up 25 times for one round. With a 900 gallon gas tank and a range of 972 MI that is just over one mile per gallon. In Canada we're looking at over $8 a gallon. So you're looking at a quarter of a million dollars to go around the world once 🙌. Anyway this eboat is definitely considered a short-range boat. 👍 however if you were to throw a quarter of a million dollars at it, I'm sure we could get the range a lot higher haha
@@ElectricCruiser depends on where you are going and the distance you are traveling, going from say California to Hawaii that 8s maybe a little over 3/4of a tank say 2,400 galor less. A friend has an N76 yacht his family went from Miami FL to the Canary Islands on 3,200 gal at a speed of 10 knots. They run 24 hours a day, with electric you are limited to running only during the day time when the solar panels can supply power, or your batteries will drain, and if you run a water heater yeah there goes even more power. Electric power is very much inefficient and not up to the task as of yet.
how many HP,, how fast.. you didnt tell us anything
Where I can get the motor and controls how much is the cost please
hector gutierrez Lynch motors, they have a website. Great bit of kit I construct the engines. Recommend buying one. Over 90% efficiency, works as a generator too
