I propose that the stator be bolted securely to the backside of
the
PSRU, and the rotor attached to the flex plate with two small
screws.
The screw just keep the rotor from moving back and forth.
The splines
actually spin it. The stator will have to have the coils
redone with a
fewer number of turns, and possibly a heavier guage wire, but
it will
only take a few experiments to get the proper voltage output at
6000RPM.
Hi
Ernest,
This is a nice thought,
but I don't think it's going to be quite that simple with Tracy's drive.
There isn't a ton of space between the back of the drive adapter plate, and the
flex plate. There are lots of bolt heads on the rear (engine side) of
the plate that hold the drive in place as well, which may or may not get in the
way, depending on the diameter of the stator. The dampener plate is on the
front side (prop side) of the flex plate, and would provide a nice mounting
point for the rotor, again depending on diameter of the rotor. The rotor
would have to be bolted, or riveted to the dampener plate securely, since there
are no splines accessible. The center hole in the rotor would have to be
enlarged to clear the hub of the dampener plate as
well.
Do you know the diameter
of this unit, and the thickness? I do think the idea is the best
I've heard, but it might take a custom built unit to do
this. I would bet we could get someone to build one,
since everyone who's purchased one of Tracy's drives could use it, and
would probably want to.
Cheers,
Rusty (the network guy today)
