would you care to share a few basics?
Hillhater, I do like talking about this stuff.
The Motor drive system of the Rolt right now is two 24V 3000RPM 350Watt motors with electric brakes geared for a top
speed of 5MPH with the 18" turf safe tires, it has as an attachment two 1000Watt 3000RPM motors with 14" turf safe tires
that give it four wheel drive that I plan to use for plowing snow this season, with tire chains on all four wheels I should
have lots of fun this winter.
the mower deck that I designed for the airport has three 350Watt motors each motor drives a 20In. reel mower at 340RPM
with a cut path of 52In., the mower I use at home is two 1500Watt 24V rotary mowers and one 350Watt 14In. reel mower
to pick up the gap between the rotary mowers, next mowing season it'll be three 1500Watt 24V 17In. rotary mowers.
The batteries are in three groups, Rolt's drives and motors (24V, 2 150AH 12V batteries in series), Rolt's lights, cameras and computers (12V, 1 60AH deep cycle, there are currently three 100Watt inverters on the 12V group ), attachments like
Mowers and Sweeper (24V, four 55AH SLA currently).
Any thoughts of going commercial with this design ?
not ready for prime time yet, I'm still working on picking up dead leaves and the beacon system while it looked good on
paper, it's not giving me the results I need.
