I doubt you will find a 12VDC motor over 1HP. www.surpluscCenter.com has 2HP 24VDC motors that draw 72 amps ad full load for $200. You might also look at old automotive starter motors. Not sure of the HP but they are very popular for barstool racing in the 12V classes. Every car that has a starter motor in it has a 12 volt motor that has a rating way higher than a simgle horsepower...... Most car starters pull way over 100 amps when cranking the engine.... Assuming your starter draws 100 amps at 12 volts = 1200 watts. The last time I checked the horsepower was supposed to be something like 762 Watts.... I rest my case. Mind you they arn't rated for long term running... tending to overheat rather quickly! Pip |
