I saw this article randomly which listed the torque specs of the motor at around 100nM, now my car is NA probably makes less than 100nM at 1000rpm and peak probably 220nM at 4000-4400rpm or so
This motor is only 600-750W and puts our ~100nM of torque. And basically from 0rpm since it's an electric motor across the whole range.
Using this as an assist motor for acceleration on the crank wouldn't I get a significant noticeable boost to acceleration, especially off the line from 0rpm where it feels weak?
What am I missing here? 100nM is 100nM. I always thought I'd need like a 25kW motor to make this work, which I found a few suitable motors
>but the gearing
Can be tuned specifically to make this work, giving max output rpm to like 6000rpm or even 4000rpm (considering likely wouldn't need assist above this)
>your alternator power output
I never planned to run an assist off the alternator, but off of lifepo4 lithium batteries and just charge them during cruise
>overheating
Not always on, mostly off and used during heavy acceleration demand starting at lowish rpms below 4000rpm only, almost always off
I'm really suspicious because 750watts only, but surely an extra 100nM is an extra 100nM right?
I'm not considering that exact motor but it's making consider I don't need as huge of an electric motor as I thought to make this idea work
