Re: [Electric Boats] Need help with choosing the right motor!

 

Hi Bendik,


I'd forgotten about those sheets. The 127 200 series is not the D version. The D stands for double magnets. Worth remembering the sheets are a motor driving a generator at constant voltage from a power supply so no voltage sag like a lead acid battery. Also the efficiency is the product of the motor and generator as I recall so if a motor at a given steady voltage and load (generator) then say one is 93% efficient and the other the same it is 0.93 X 0.93 = 0.86

Think I have that right without more than a glance at sheets. The trick though with props and gearboxes is to figure out a good voltage and load (amps) combination that will give you efficiency at the thrust you need. I learned by doing sums then proving those with practical experiments.

Here's a fun calculator for electric bicycles which kind of gives you insight playing with motors etc.
