I know this can be done. Watercar.Com is selong land rovers like this for $155k so I know it's possible. But I just want it to cost maybe 1% of that (;
I plan too use the clutch off an ac compressor if I run hydralics or electric whichever I come to. Just makes the must sense for the clutch. Also I'm trying to avoid running a separate engine if I can. And for cv axles I was thinking some marine cv axle seals if possible. Also I was going to...
Wouldnt the generator be huge? And wouldn't it need to produce ALOT of electricity for the motor? I'm trying to stay away from the second engine but I wil if I have to. I woukd just like to have that be room for more people in the back seat instrad o an engine
Okay. Now I am becoming intrigued to your electric idea. My fear of it is. Don't I need one of those big 4000 dollar hybrid batteries if I was to use a electric engine big enough to move the car? And that the only fear I have is because those are deadly. I'm by no means an electrician. And idk...
So do you by chance have a general idea of what I would need and where I could locate such materials. 70hp engine (1395cc) and it will be a jet ski assembly so it will be at 5000-5500 rpm. And I will not be attaining jet ski speeds at all. I would be happy with 15 to 20 mph. Pushing it. Don't...
I figured I would conquer weight and balancing when it arose. I was thing extendable arms on each side with floats on them like some sail boats I believe it is has. And for doors... ohh doors. If necessary I will weld the majority of the door shut and make it custom. If i can, what I want to do...
I thought about belt drive but belts slip? And that would be loss of power? Yes I will neneed a boat license on it which is 37 dollars. A 1993 ford festiva wI'll be my car of choice
I work on ch-47 chinooks for the army. Which is 90% hydraulics. And you are the first person I have ever heard say hydraulics are heavy and inefficient. Could you explain your reasoning behind that? Also that you very much a had no clue what rpm the jet pump would need to spin.
Hybrid is out of...
eurathan based plastic spray will be coated on the bottom 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. Will be using the foam that is used in boats to stick top of that. And it will be shaved how seen fit. That no top of that will be fiberglass. Will have a sealed removable panel under the engine bay. Also the bump...
I figured I would be able to do something like on a actually compressor. With that but in clutch type deal. I just don't now how big of a pump I can run. And how big of a pump I will need. Or if what I'm thinking will even turn the marine drive portion fast enough.
I have that part planned aready. It's acactually rather simple. Cars may not be water tight.. but in a relative way of looking at it. If you take off the roof. You have what would mildly resemble a boat. With tires. If you set that boat with tires in water. It will clearly sink. But is the water...
Ignore my crappy typo and grammar please. I'm a grease monkey with an idea. The rest of the calculations and stuff isn't my thing. I would do it through trial and error. But I don't have the funding...
