Hi Dear Mr David Rovirosa,
From Internet we are aware you have expertise in LEV drivetrain .
We are working on LEV / EV industrial and very interested in your technology, and want to explore if there is synergy between your company and magdyno. If you can send me some information about your technology taht will be greatly appreciated.
I am looking forward to hearing from you soon
Best regards,
Jerry Jiang

Technology Offer
Title: Efficient, high-performance electronic DC drives for light vehicles, on- and off-road vehicles, drive concepts, boats, compact gears for scooters, karts, quads, transport carts (Ref: 05 CH RAEP 0COF )
Abstract:
Non-petrol engines almost always require a combination of batteries, hydrogen fuels and electric drives. A special patented design of a motor and a specific application-tuned controller developed by a Swiss company gives a very high power-to-weight ratio, supporting the transition to electronic drives in vehicles, or the change from petrol drives to electronic drives. The company is looking for partners interested in development and manufacturing of (light) electric vehicles.
Description:
A Canadian company is a leading company in the field of electric drive trains and charger/battery applications for industrial and leisure applications. The company’s founders started participating in electric vehicle were from the beginning involved in all areas of personal transportation. Electric drives have been their main focus and the know-how has steadily evolved into a reliable, economical and test-proven system. During the last years the company has successfully installed electric go-kart systems in Europe, Asia and America, with ongoing projects from floor-cleaning machines to electric sailplanes and boats.
The combination of motor and controller (with for example battery and charger, hydrogen fuel cell, etc.) is ideal for conversion of any kind of vehicle from petrol to electronic drives.
The company has the generic and holistic-know how to replace existing engines with electric motors and components because of experience with most different applications.
Traditional electronic DC drive consists of a motor, a controller and relays, and wiring components. A special patented design of the motor and the to the application tuned controller, give the highest power to weight ratio, and a high efficient and high-performance package:
- Motor: the permanent magnet DC motor is the “muscle” of the electronic drive system; the lightweight compact motor produces up to 15 kW nominal power at a 200 Amp rating. This power translates to approx. 20 HP (Horsepower). Because of the constant high torque, which is available, there is no loss of exhilaration when the gas pedal is pushed, bringing a new feeling into driving.
- Controller: the DC controller is the "brain" of every electric vehicle. It regulates not only the power of the motor but also the torque. Assisted by a potentiometer that functions via the gas pedal the motor power can be adjusted from zero to the given maximum. In addition the controller protects the motor against too high currency. Especially with high-efficiency electric motors there are dangers of destruction from a high inrush of current at the start, demagnetisation of the permanent magnets, overheating, wear of brushes. A proper motor controller can eliminate those dangers.
The batteries are protected against high and low tension, voltage peaks and low discharge. The correct adjustment of those factors and the individual regulation will improve on the life duration of the batteries.
Applications:
- The technology could be used in applications like light vehicles, on- and off road vehicles, drive concepts, boats, compact gears for scooters, karts, quads, transport carts.
- The motor could also function as generator (it does, when braking) in all kind of lightweight installations. One could think of for example windmills.
- The electric propulsion system provides sufficient power for self-launch to a releasable altitude of a sailplane. At maximum take-off weight, the sailplane AE-1 climbs to well over 600 m (2000 feet) in less than five minutes, and can launch from very short fields. When a comfortable altitude is reached, the 13 kW/17 Hp engine retracts in a few seconds.
Innovations and advantages of the offer
The special patented design of the motor and the to each application tuned controller allows compact design, high torque and a high power to weight ratio (up to 1.5 kW /kg). The controller (including the holistic know-how of the organisation to accomplish this) gives this high power-to-weight ratio results.
The organisation has the know-how for replacing existing engines with electric motors and components, when needed with even total solutions. Drive (motor and controller):
- Compact
- High efficiency
- High torque
- High power-to-weight ratio
Advantages for:
* Motor and controller (with for example battery and charger, hydrogen fuel cell, etc.):
- Ideal for conversion of any kind of vehicle from petrol to electronic drives. Allowing to replace a combustion engine directly with no big changes.
- Motor could function as generator in all kind of lightweight installations.
Advantages for applications such as:
* Karts, electric vehicles:
- Cost-effective while low maintenance, low pollution and low energy costs
- High efficiency: good performance with low energy consumption
* Boats:
- These vessels are silent, economical and environmentally friendly.
- Operation Costs: The running costs are 20 to 45 times less important than for the equivalent powered motorboat.
* Sailplanes:
- Electric propulsion is incredibly quiet, clean and reliable, and is virtually maintenance-free.
- There is no worry about stale gasoline, clogged or iced carburettors or "tweaking" complex engine components.
