Hey, everyone,
I am located in the Seattle, WA area (Woodinville, actually), and am
interested in learning to build and control my own switched reluctance
electric motor. The long-term goal of the project will be to build an
EV from scratch (not a conversion), but since I do not have a hardware
background yet, I'm looking for someone willing to at least help me take
all my "unknown unknowns" to "known unknowns" ;). From there, if need
be, I can tackle transforming those known unknowns into knowns on my own.
Initially, I'd like to build a tabletop motor so that I can practice
software control specifically of starting the motor, controlling regen
during deceleration and acoustics, and controlling speed.
If you know anyone able and willing to help, I would appreciate an
introduction.
--OR--
I've noticed Elon Musk has established a bit of a pattern of finding
innovators whose ideas didn't fit the established system--Eberhard,
Tarpenning, AC Propuslion for Tesla, Mueller for SpaceX.
If you know of someone building versatile, high-performance motors in
his/her garage who might be willing to discuss a possible EV venture
with someone with an entrepreneurial and software background (me), I
would also appreciate an introduction.
