Given: I understand that there would have to be the equivalent energy source to drive the pump. That I will look to later (my gut says the real issue), but for the purposes of this discussion, assume endless power from a source of electricity or hydraulic pressure/flow, and you have to build a system and integrate it into a demonstrable vehicle asap.
Two initial questions:
1. In a perfect world, between an electric prime mover and a hydraulic, which would (in your view) be better vis-a-vis: off the shelf components, performance, longevity, and simplicity.
2. If a hydraulic prime mover is indeed better, could you not simply mount up the motor to the yoke of the differential and achieve the same performance (thereby by-passing the need for a transmission)?
I have been thinking about this for a couple of weeks and am trying to get a handle on this.
Thanks in advance
