The White Lightning 818e thread

Nice Bob! Those look really cool btw. What did you do about the control algorithm? Did you program it all yourself? What about motor parameters and modelling? I love the name "Fluxdrive".
When do you think you'll start you e-build?

The deep FOC code was already done, I did write the all the frontend code. I think I still own Fluxdrives, fluxvector, and electricmotorsports web domains.

Hi Bob,

Impressive! I like how its a family passion. You and I and Speedy seem to have been bitten by the electric performance bug. That feeling is so powerfully different from infernal combustion that it lasts for decades.
Are you selling inverter drives? If so, have you matched to an IPM machine?

I been working on motor controller for the last 35 years. I'm having a blast working on my turbo 818.

I sold off my business in 08 and now work in the ev industry.
Yes, A lot of stuff I've done in the last couple of years has been with IPM motors.

Talk about family. This is after we won the 2010 TTXGP national championship. My daughter, son and me on the right. If you guys know the name Jeff Major from the EVDL. He is a close friend in the back row.
