[@MadScientist267]

No, it's issues with driving them and parasitic inductance. That's PWM control, which involves turning the transistors on and off quickly so they don't dissipate heat of their own. The way to do this would be to have a single pot controlling a single chip, with multiple mosfets in a bank (with sources on ballast resistors) via a suitable driver chip to ensure the gates go high/low as fast as possible on transitions. Look inside high power inverters for an idea on how this is typically done.

[@R3cKi7]

the control boards typically have x2 50Amp transistors, 1 for forward and 1 reverse, so you lose power directly as the transistors bump up the power. they probably just needed to fit diodes between each module to prevent backfeeding

[@heyLaina]

Seeing your exploits always brings me joy!

[@teardowndan5364]

The transistors are dying because the chip doesn't have much headroom to drive a lot more than one at a time. Transistors end up under-driven, the junction dissipates lots of power, overheats and dies.

[@matthewtymaja3760]

The most important thing is that the control boards will also have a low-voltage cutoff; without the control board, you can drain the lithium battery too low, and it may catch fire (will be good for the next video, but bring a fire extinguisher!); The biggest risk is recharging them. Place the batteries on a concrete floor with nothing flammable nearby when charging - also the smoke from a burning / venting lithium battery is much more toxic than anything you have done on cars previously. Looking forward to part 2!

[@sebykos]

Usually li-ion battery packs have the protection inside them. But I don't know this brand...

[@npsit1]

5:58 Those MOSFETs probably have to be isolated from each other with separate reference signals. Check the manufacturer specific data sheet for the model of MOSFET each of those units uses. The other option is to use DC motor controllers. You'll have to check your power draw for each drill to determine what size of controller you need.

[@aidanlyons1155]

3 hours per pulley? Is that how long it would take you? That would be extremely expensive at US hourly rates lol.

[@uncaljeff]

To do it manually cut from billet square and cutting groves with a keyway also I expect yes

[@VirtualCryptid]

Since you direct shorting the motors, use solid stat transistors matched to banks of the screw driver motors, then control the transistors with pulse width modulation. That way you get variable rpm but full torque

[@rileymatthews7167]

As good as that sounds there’s no way we’re gonna see pulse width modulation in the next episode.

With your direct wire method, might as well use ESC for RC cars (check if battery voltage is OK for it) and use a transceiver or "servo tester" to control the motor speed at once. Just hook the output of the transceiver or "servo tester" into the corresponding signal input for the ESC, might need to check pinouts - test with one or two of them first!

You guys are freaking nuts. I love it. All the things I wonder about sometimes- you've almost fulfilled all of them. I would like to get some dyno results on an engine like this- it almost seems like some of the April-fools stuff you folks have pulled! I kinda want to see you take one, gear it up as much as needed to get a car moving. It'd probably be well under 1mph but I'll bet with enough gear reduction you'd get a single drill to at least 'move' a car on flat ground! *they probably continue to run a bit due to capacitors still having a bit of power left-over. This is kinda normal for electronics. with one of my old PCs, you could turn the power supply off for up to a whole second, flip it back on and the computer would still be running- no crashing or anything. I don't know if it is possible with newer computer hardware though- things have changed a bit since a decade ago when I was able to do that.

Pull down resistor I'm thinking. I forget offhand as thyristors like DIACS and TRIACS or one or the other can be latched and one needs like a resistive load like resistor or diode on to unlatch. Similar with the transistors and I forget the details since have not worked with in a few.

[@thezimra9429]

best car channel

[@rileymatthews7167]

I recommend using a busbar of sorts to run all of the wires nice and neatly from the power side and a separate busbar for the negative side of course. This can greatly reduce the number of wires. If you were to mess around a little bit and try running a couple of drills wires in series we might see a jump in performance speed wise that is assuming the drill motors can handle the increased voltages..

[@acurarl9929]

Looks really cool guys. Good wrk.

[@1RDM1]

Nice job guys I'd recommend making a switch inside and several relays to withstand the power instead of burning yourself with the wires but I'm not sure (never tried) connecting several relays together but as you're trying stuff out your welcome to try this idea if you want to keep it simple but i think 4×70A Relay should handle it just fine and one switch with a 12v independent battery is what's needed

[@canyondan]

[@DesertSessions93]

Standard dc, can style brush motors. Use an individual PWM module for each drill motor. Use a single microcontroller to run each PWM module. Use a potentiometer to control PWM signal through the controller. You can directly control the potentiometer with the throttle pedal or throttle cable. Simple, affordable, pre-made components and some short, simple code.

[@Willalvers]

To get the rest of them in sequence, their has to pulley for each set of drills in that row, grab a bar and attach the pulleys to there locations and mount them down near the bottom or wherever works best...connect the front belt to that bar and if all goes planned...that bar should spin like a driveshaft ;) hope i explained that okay
