Wheel hub motor for cars. Open sourced?

[Paul-R]

Been touching base with other open source
Researchers with 3D printers

You  could ask how feasible it would be to make the disc in four quarters (to fit within the 3D printer's limit) and then bolt them together in some way. If I can sort out converting file types, I'm hoping to get an image of the rotor later on.

It's early days here ( this topic)
open source builders  will certainly comment these coming weeks
as they become aware !


Perhaps consider to manage/moderate  topic ?( updates and such for benchmarks posts ( 1st
Post in this topic etc ))


It truly helps focus topic
And once moderated..other sections can become branches of original!


Such moderated venues encourage other builders  to join in !
And they too could start a moderated builders board of their own if they wish( some unique build or ?!

If they have a program or ? For smaller motors?


We could get many more open source persons involved if
We had a smaller one to learn on ?(me too)
Members with printers could send pieces to those builders  who don't
Etc etc


Yes water craft that do not burn fossil fuels (or burn our atmosphere )
Or pollute our waterways!!


Small local transport that can run independently of
Fossil fuels


Monstrous need for such
And Reducing our carbon footprint!!

The 3d files could be scaled to suit smaller motors as long as you had the appropriate magnets. Looks like the milling of the hub would be the largest barrier of entry for me. I'd have to outsource that.

It is worth mentioning that there are 28 coils being charged and discharged and it would be good to collect the BEMF CEMF () spikes and return them.
