For those with any interest, the motor is a 3 phase brushless design using field oriented control (FOC) . . . some of the original designs were induction motors (no magnets) with a basic design just like any 3phase motor that you would use on an air compressor or conveyor. At 42 volts, the currents are going to be extremely high to generate any power. Once they nail fuel cell technology . . . bye bye internal cumbustion engine AND bye bye rich Saudi oil princes!!! grin :p cool
