This thread is about making an EV turbobrick in the turbobrick way. People talked about controlling motors. You suggested building around the chip and I decided to see how easy it was to get one. And I then decided to offer some of them to the people here who want to give it a try on building something around it. In fact, if the OP sends me his email I will send him a chip. Do I know which motor people will pick? Not at all. Think of it as my contribution to the quest.
What about me? I am not planning on building an Ev -- closest I would consider is a hybrid -- but I still can learn a bit in the process of people actually building something. I myself have a little (supposedly) 3 phase motor (only 3 wires, so there are things it can't do)
which I may want to play with, as I can put the entire assembly -- motor + power source + protoboard (hence me getting some DIP ones) on a box without taking too much space. Once I get that to work I may try something a bit more complicated. But, this is not about me; it is about helping the OP (an other orangutans) building something interesting.
Until you actually cut your fingers open and zap your balls in the process of getting this to work, it is all mental masturbation.
UPDATE: my little motor may be AC. But, it is mine and I have it on my desk right now.
