Can you answer freddievsskeletor’s question about Generators?:
It is a taylor dunn electric utility vehicle and I want to bypass the lead-acid batteries and just power the lectric motor from something like a 1000 watt gas generator. Is this doable? if so, how may I go about doing it?

Generators Feedback: doubt if it’s practical
Generators Feedback: The gas motor would be the power for the vehicle so driving an electric motor to supply the watts to drive the electric motor that drives the wheels is like using the electric motor that supplies the watts as a fly-wheel. Using batteries to supply more power when needed is usually the type of fly-wheel most people go with but you wanted to bypass the batteries. It wouldn’t be a good idea to put a large gas tank close to a huge battery source which is a major problem for hybrids too. Try thinking extended range type of vehicle that would have the gas generator in a trailer but if you removed the batteries then just put the gas generator where the batteries go if it fits.
