[NSRCA-discussion] Electric vs. Glow

[Stuart Chale]

I was planning on using dilithium crystals.  They seem to have a pretty good
energy content.

(What was the fuel source used in Lost in Space?)

 

Back to reality, although the current crop of batteries seems to do an
adequate job, we are not yet seeing a bunch of people claiming 100 - 200+
cycles per pack.  Although I will take the plunge I will wait till the last
minute to buy the battery packs.  It seems that we need to get to the next
generation to either have a greater rate of  discharge or decrease the
weight a bit further so that we never come close to the capacity of the
packs.  Right now it seems as if the packs are getting pushed too close to
their limits.  Some survive OK some do not.

Just my 2 cents.

Stuart

 This problem with Lipo's not taking the higher charge rate would seem to be
the biggest factor why the batterie isn't stepping up to widespread uses in
industry/Hybrid cars/consumer products. So if we are to get better battery
solutions in the future it will probably come from a different technology
than the current lithium offerings. So does anyone have a clue what
breakthru technology will eventually be the answer?

Regenerative braking is the holy grail for hybrid E vehicles also. While the
motor is an effective generator with the controls available, the issue is
the ability of the batteries to accept the resulting high charge rate. Some
systems have been designed using capacitors to smooth the flow, but large
capacity requirements limits practicality. Of course with LiPo charge rates
in the 1 - 3C range, this becomes even more problematic for our systems.

Now if they could make the brake regenerative, they would have something!

Jason I hadn't heard about the brake either, any more little things to made
things work better.

Hi Jason,

I'm venturing, or maybe I should say, wading into electric this year. You
mentioned the brake eating gears. I'm sure you meant the conventional brake
that flat out stops the prop. What's your thought on the Hacker f3a brake
that comes with the competition version of the speed control? We haven't
seen or heard much of anything about this motor or the controller since the
Worlds.

 

Thanks,

Verne Koester
