The one in the middle is linear?!?! I noticed it has a different designation but the output signal was still a sharp square pulse...

@@TheOriginalEviltech only some of them use linear type in the middle, most of those hub-type motor just use three same switch type sensor, with variants that have the middle one facing opposite of the other two, as you've noticed

@Lassi Kinnunen 81 That makes no sense, 3 inputs means 3 sensors.

Very good point with hall sensors, I almost forgot that there is enormus types of hall sensors (analog, digital, latching, non latching, 3pin, 4pin, different voltages...)

@Lassi Kinnunen 81 He only installed 3 sensors, which is correct The other issue I've observed is that he gave the whole system a fairly small final drive ratio, while this controller is mainly target towards direct-drive hub type motors. Those motors are commonly seen in light electric bikes, and I'd imagine if he raise the final drive ratio to about double direct drive rates, the go cart can start rolling by itself with no problem.

Thats exactly what I was about to suggest he do, is wire in a start capacitor set.

But he also could blow the lipos if he doesn't have a safety feature for when they get discharged too low. I've seen crazy guys just use a lipo voltage checker and stop using the application once its low 🤯💥🪦⚰

@@jiffywaxjesus1951 agreed...thats a good point you bring up.... definitely gonna need a ESC with voltage cutout....the new EZ-GO golf carts use voltage cutouts on their speed control...he can incorporate that into the loop, he'll be set.. Definitely dont want them going bellow 3.3v..

@@jiffywaxjesus1951 I believe that’s why he used the riobi battery because they have circuitry to shut off the battery’s when they are too low

And less chance of firey explodey death awful which is a _significant_ risk when running lithium cells at their limits.

Assumes they're at equal wear. Could run into problems if one is a bit older than the other, especially at low states of charge. It probably won't be a problem though, considering there's parallel BMS... two in series would have much more issue.

I love how he uses the electric go kart thing as an excuse to play with making a home made electric toy

David. The first thing you should tell him is, if he takes a Delta connected motor and changes the configuration to a Star connection it will make the rotor twitch because the Rotor is wound for a Delta signwave. If he changes it back to a Delta connection it should work.

with parts that were all Chinese how interesting

A vicious slur against the designers of the go-kart. For one, the go-kart is way better looking.

Nah, I suspect that this go-kart conversion involved a lot more nuclear engineering to optimize magneto-reluctance and capacitive diractance.

You mean Tesla ?

I was afraid he was going to use a Coda motor...

And 1500W is plenty. Even for a big guy like Aging Wheels. Although it is a Chinese 1500W…

@@mondotv4216 who would have thought that exchange rates apply to wattages, and not just currency.

The BMS is cutting it out why? They can put out more than enough current to move that go kart without anyone in it. It's immediately cutting out, and definitely isn't drawing anywhere near enough current to trip over current protection.

I suspect the controller is cutting out because it is not a 36 volt controller (yes what he has is claimed to be a “40 volt” battery, but every one that isn’t marketing considers 10s to be 36 volt). The resting voltage is high enough that it doesn’t fully trip the controllers low voltage function but as soon as the battery sags the controller cuts out. It’s likely a 48v 1500w controller. It’s actually not common to find a 36v 1500w Chinese controller.

@@obsoleteoptics Hell yeah! nice eye

Have you tried turning it off and on again? This is a joke in IT support, but it's also the most common advice. Because it works 90% of the time. Bloody programmers can't write software without memory leaks, or that gives back resources the computer when it's finished using them. So then when another program, or the same one later on, need these resources, they're not there. If it's RAM they've consumed and lost track of (a memory leak), eventually the system will run out of free RAM and start swapping out to the hard drive, causing thrashing and slowing things riiiight down. So we'd ask you to save your work, if you can, then shutdown and restart. On restart the RAM allocation list is nice and free again, resources are fresh and unallocated, so programs can ask for resources and expect to get them. Everything runs nicely! Except there's still that leak...! The solution ultimately is for the company to fix their damn software and for users to update to that version. But in that time there'll be a _different_ bug in that, or some other, bit of software.

Software devs are the bane of my existence. Last timeI had an issue I sent 140 GBs of data to one of our software engineers to back up my claims because a control program they had us upgrade in the field had a huge memory leak and would corrupt it's own config files. His reply was, "Huh, well it didn't do that in our field trials."

@@NORMIES_GET_OUT as an engineer I can tell you that when we design new things, shit always happens. I spent months working on the binary register of a microcontroller to be able to manipulate multiple dc motors. It worked PERFECT up until installed in the machine. Then EMF from the dang motors caused it to auto trigger since I was using such “basic” components of the controller!! We try, we really do, I am also a mechanic of 20 years so I know the pain of a terribly placed bolt (just as my engine mounts smh) But it still just happens. And most of us are (probably) eternally sorry!!

@@TGears314 aawww man. and here i was thinking that every terrible placed bolt or stupid ass system (or function within a system) was put there on purpose by a very bitter human behind a desk, dedicated to the missery of others. like "ok.. we need a bolt here, here, and there. you know what? fuck it, i havee a terrible day... im gonna put it over there so someone someday somewhere will curse until hell opens right bellow their damn feet". :P

Not nearly enough footage of sparks, explosions or Robert getting injured

Just get the wheego running again and he can use that

you would save more than $5000 in the long run not caring for the child

What he should do is ditch this dumb idea and put the damned engine back in it. A simple limiter on the throttle will solve the power (of a 6yo) problem, just like they do with go-karts in those go-kart rental places. I subbed to this channel back when he was rebuilding the Trabant engine. Taking a great gas powered go-kart and turning into a shitty electric cart is just dumb. Trying to convert an alternator into an electric motor for the kart is DUMB. I already knew he was going to run into all these problems because he's not the first youtuber to discover the problem of re-purposing an alternator. Furthermore, this thing is designed for a maximum of 65 amps output or about 900 watts. They are notoriously unreliable with high load.

@@tarstarkusz I guess you missed the part where he said he was doing this for the fun of it. He wanted to do the thing. So he did the thing.

@@tarstarkusz isn't he doing this for the fun of it?

I was quietly screaming this in my brain the whole time

I wrote this in butter on my toast this morning

you only know rotor position within one electrical cycle (phase). you still don't know the exact position of the rotor itself as there are multiple electrical cycles per revolution. also, the "idling" phase statement is only correct for block-commutated/six-step drives. Sinewave and FOC drive all 3 phases all of the time.

In Permanent Magnet Synchronous motor (PMSM) drives, shaft position information is required for the proper control of the machine. In the PMSM drive the torque ripple generated by the machine has various harmonic content. The major torque ripple generated in a three phase machine is due to the interaction of 5th, 7th , 11th and 13th harmonics in the back emf with the phase current. These induced voltage harmonics are responsible for the 6th and 12th order (electrical) ripple in the torque. In practical applications we tend to see various other harmonic orders in the torque.

Well, on the plus side, at least the comments are full of people griping about the title. The content of the video is fine. If you don't like the title, dislike and move on.

Also a relation to warped perception?

RC cars have sensor less brushless controllers. They're designed to operate without the hall effect sensors, so it's a bit different.

@@zakattack721 his motor was sensorless he added the sensors because it wasnt moving just twitching

@@compzac Yes but the controller was expecting a sensored motor. If you unplug the encoder on an eBike it fails to spin in the same way

@@zakattack721 was it though, it was working better before he sensored the motor... really my guess is that the poorly translated sticker on the controller and the non existent manual would have told him how to set up the controller, but since the manual doesnt exist and the sticker on the controller wasnt in english how would he have known it probably needed to be programmed. most controllers ive messed with can use either hall effect sensors or back EMF but you have to tell the controller what to expect and in some cases have it learn.

@@zakattack721 my god I didn't realize RC car motors were sensorless even you really have pointed out the obvious there chief
