The plan is to use a fork lift raise/lower motor. This is the exact
same motor as used in electric cars, but with a much heavier case. It
will develop 35 HP at 120 VDC
20 golf cart batts and you're there !
You also get 1100 pounds of extra internal ballast and one heck of a
house bank as part of the deal. :-)
Yeah you rite, Wayne!
Actually, that's what's used in electric cars - 20 golf cart
batteries. Energy equivalent of 1-1/2 gallons of gasoline!
Actually, I figure on running the motor on 36V for low mode and direct
off the generator for high mode. Won't get full power though unless I
put in a 30KW generator (YOW!). Figure on getting about 20 HP.
