<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Hey! It’s
been a long winter here is Stockholm but it´s finally over. I haven’t been
working that much in the Fiat, a new floor pan for lowering drag and a new
battery gauge has been installed. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I wanted to
get a better view of the energy flowing through the system so I changed my
paktrakr for a E-Xpert HV. What I loose is the individual monitoring of each
12v block, what I gain is the possibility to track amp-hours (ah) going in and
out of the battery. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I have a
90ah, 76,8v pack. So my total energy is about 6912 Watt. I ran a test today to
see how far I would get using 80% of battery capacity (72ah). The test run
included both highway, about 80Km/h, and city driving. Traffic in central
Stockholm was horrible with a lot of stop & go. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The Xpert
uses a shunt to monitor the Ah that flows through the circuit. Removing energy
from the pack is symbolized by the minus sign on the display below. When the
pack is fully charged the meter show 0.0 Ah and as I start to drive the negative
value increases. Basically what I did was to drive one way until I reached 50%
SOC and then turned around. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

to bed. Summer has been good, a total of 75Km has been driven with a kWh usage
of about 1,08Kwh/10Km. I still haven’t gotten around to test how far I can go
but given that the battery pack contains about 6,48kWh I should be able to go
42Km (using 70% of the battery bank) without having a negative impact on
battery life. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

The car is back on the road after changing brushes, brush holder,
installing a fan and limiting the current to the Agni.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
After restoring the commutator I installed the brushes and set the timing.
The default timing marks cannot be used and in order to find the new
"zero" I used the following procedure.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Brush holder with brushes fitted by Joztek. <br />

</tbody></table>
1. Attach the brush holder and tighten the screws just so you can move the
brush holder with your hand.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Brushholder from Jozztek, fitted with screws to aid set timing.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
2. Apply a low and stable voltage, I used 13.8V from a charger with supply
mode.<o:p></o:p><br />
3. Attach an amp meter to monitor the amps used by the motor.<o:p></o:p><br />
4. While the motor is spinning, read the amp value and carefully turn the brush
holder in either direction. Find the position were the amp reading is the
lowest, this is our new "zero". Make a mark on the motor and on the
brush holder.<o:p></o:p><br />
5. Turn the brush holder against the direction in which the motor i spinning.
I turned the holder 1.5mm. See the Agni workshop manual for more info.<o:p></o:p><br />
6.Tighten the screws on the brush holder CAREFULLY!<br />
<br />
Let the motor run for 20 minutes or so before steping on the gas.<br />
<br />
After the timing was set and the brushes were run-in it was time for a test
run. I made a configuration change to the Kelly before the first run. Max amp's
was set to 360A. During hard acceleration I could feel the smell of hot brushes
so I backed it down to 300A.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
I haven’t had time to work on my water cooling of the Agni but I have a lot off
fans laying around so I decided to make a cooling fan to the motor. There is
not a lot of space left between the Agni and my batteries so I have to put the
fan on top.<br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">As you all know I got a bit too cocky chasing Porsches on
the highway and the Agni had a brush meltdown. The first thing I needed to do
was to get a new brush holder and new brushes. As it turns out one of my
friends from the diyelectriccar.com forum is the distributor of Agni in Europe,
</span><a href="http://www.jozztek.com/"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Calibri;">www.jozztek.com</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;">, Jozztek has a deep
knowledge of the Agnis and a lot of racing experience as well. I could not
reuse any of the old parts so I got the brush holder fitted with brushes.
Jozztek matches all brushes so that the voltage drop/resistance is the same
between brushes. </span></div>

commutator. When the brushes melted there was a lot of arching going on and the
surface of the commutator, where the brushes connect, had to be refurbished. In
order to refurbish the commutator surface I needed a "grindstone".
Luckily I found a company just outside of Stockholm that specializes in
DC-motors. </span><a href="http://www.karma.se/"><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: blue;">www.karma.se</span></span></a><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"> has a wide range of brushes and tools for restoring electrical

shared his bright idea to use the old brush holder and two old brushes to drive
the motor during grinding. Split the brush holder in half and attached two
brushes, one negative and one positive.</span></div>

Agni gives you 71 rpm/V so if you connect is to a 12V battery it will spin at
about 800 rpm. Cut the grind stone so that you can fit it to the commutator.
Use a vacuum cleaner during the grinding to collect the dust. You don’t have to
apply a lot of pressure to the stone and you will feel when is working. Change position
of the stone often and keep it steady.</span></div>

interview with the designer of the Agni 95R, Cedric Lynch, on the net and I
found an interesting part about water cooling the Agni in order to boost
performance. Now I know I'm not ready yet but this is FUN!<o:p></o:p></span></span>

one can run about 50% more power into the agni if these steps are followed:<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 9pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">"It
is possible to cool an Agni motor with water spray. The best place to spray is
on the inner part of the armature opposite to the side the brushes run on, and
you need about 40 millilitres per minute which you get from a 1mm jet fed by
gravity with a 250mm head. Turn the water off before stopping the motor, so
that it does not remain wet when it is not in use."<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: SV;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">In order to support the 60kg's of batteries in the rear I had to design a support beam that also would act as a rear motor/gearbox support.

Since this blog is about the conversion of a car I guess that it falls somewere in between the two extreems. I could use six lead-acid batteries in the fiat, it has been done before, but it is not optimal.

These "AKUMON" boards will monitor each block and will issue a 12v signal if the charge voltage exceeds 17 volts or if the battery voltage goes below 10 volts. There is also a bleed-function that will limit the current in the last stage of the charge. </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; tab-stops: 252.35pt;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">This is cool stuff, regen, regeneration of energy. Imagine that you are out driving and you run up on a red light. In order to stop you depress the brake pedal. A "normal" car does not have any means of recovering the energy generated during this phase. All the energy that kept the car moving before you pressed the brake is turned into heat. The good thing with an electric motor is that it can be turned into a generator and if your controller supports it the energy from the moving car can be returned to the battery pack instead of going up in smoke. At least that’s the theory of it. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; tab-stops: 252.35pt;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Regen can be controlled in more than one way on the Kelly. I'll start with the simplest setup. When you step of the gas pedal regen will start! This might not be the best solution because it might be wiser to let the car freewheel down a slope then to try and capture the energy generated. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; tab-stops: 252.35pt;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">So I found out that if you connect the micro switch in the throttle to the controller you can actually decide if you want to start regen or if you want to freewheel. It works like this:</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; tab-stops: 252.35pt;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">When you want to use regen you step of the pedal, but not all the way. The trick is to keep the micro switch connected. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; tab-stops: 252.35pt;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">If you want to freewheel down a long slope you let the pedal go to its starting position, which means the micro switch will be disconnected. This will deactivate regen.</span></span></div>See <a href="http://youtu.be/fEPFgumcJDM"><span style="color: #1c62b9;">http://youtu.be/fEPFgumcJDM</span></a> for more info.<br />

This can easily be done without removing the gearbox. I tried to determine the weight if the I.C.E but the scale only ran to 50Kg, I'm guessing 55-60kg.</span></span></div> <br />

The motor has been installed in the car and it has been tested, only with 12 volts, but it turns and the clutch works just fine. I've decided to mount the controller, main contactor and fuse above the motor. I cut out an aluminum plate that is held in place by vibration dampers. Since the Kelly controller is sensitive regarding temperature I will mount a fan or to on the controller.</span><br />

I will be using a 72 volt system which gives me 71*72=5112rpm 5112/0,87 equals 5875 rpm before the final drive ratio. Rear end gear ratio is 4,87:1 and tier diameter is about 20 inches.

As you can see the car is a rear wheel with gearbox, engine, differentials and driveshaft all built into one unit mounted in the back of the car. The fuel tank is located in the trunk in front of the driver there is not really any space for luggage.<br />
<br />
After a year of looking through car magazines and adds on the net i found a 1973 fiat 500 R in the outskirts of Stockholm. I went to see it and to my surprise the car was in great shape. The body had been restored, new floor pans, new doors, new hood and so on. The drive train was of unknown state but a working engine + gearbox was included in the buy.<br />
<br />
So I ended up buying a grown man's LEGO. Thousand parts to play with. Perfect!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
