PAtriot hybrid race care

Body

Kone,

I know you asked a question about commutation earlier, well this is
induction but...

I know an electrical engineer who worked on the power drive for the
Chrysler Patriot back around 04.  It used a motor design similar to the
washing machine in that the per mags were on the inside of the rotor
like a hub motor but in a Halbach array.  I forget the power output but
it was something quite insane when the elec motor was max RPMed
something like 1000hpor more  Pretty cool out of a 350 pound drive
system including the turbine alternators.

Check out the specs, anyhow if you have any questions concerning the
tech I can forward them.

--------------------------

"The Chrysler Patriot was a hybrid-electric, turbine-powered, liquid
natural gas-fueled racing car for racing; the company said it could
reach 200 mph for short durations, with competitive handling. The
powertrain included a two-turbine alternator, an ultra-high-speed
flywheel and an electric traction motor. All components were water-cooled.

The traction engine was a four-pole, three-phase, 525-volt AC induction
motor, weighing 143 pounds, with a maximum speed of 24,000 rpm; it had
an aluminum housing, was lubricated by oil, and had an 8:1 motor to
final drive ratio.

The turbo-alternator was a compounded twin-spool turbine with two
alternators, fuled by natural gas, with a 100,000 rpm high speed and
50,000 rpm low speed; an intercooler was placed between the low and high
speed compressors. A single point combuster was used; the alternators
were three-phase AC induction. The whole thing weighed 186 pounds and
was water-cooled; materials used included composites, ceramics,
titanium, and stainless steel.

The flywheel system weighed 1147 pounds, and was vacuum housed; it could
spin up to 58,000 rpm on its gimbaled mounting. The motor had
three-phase permanent neodymium iron boron magnets in a Halbach array.
The rim and housing were made of carbon fiber; the bearings were
mechanical.

The chassis was built in England by Reynard to compete in the new World
Sports Car (WSC) class co-conceived by the FIA, which overseas motor
racing around the world from its headquarters in Paris, and the
International Motor Sports Association, the premier U.S. road-race
sanctioning body. The WSC is a prototype class intending to attract cars
at the cutting edge of design and technology."
