RE: [DML] electric delorean webpage

Well from what I can see everything you can see in the pictures on their web
page is off the shelf electric car stuff.

the motor and speed controller he is using come as a kit ...

see here for better picture of the conroller

I'm pretty certain the smaller blue box in the engine bay is the dc-dc
converter below
http://www.evparts.com/shopping/product_details.php?id=&product_id=1300


The controller is quoted as capable of providing 100kW.
The motor is quoted as being used in 200 mph + race cars.

There are no other unidentified boxes of tricks in the pictures.
It looks like they have simply bought an off the shelf kit and done some
simple machining to make it fit the Delorean.
I believe that they have made an electric Delorean and achieved the speeds
quoted.
>From all the info, and particularly how their web page looked a few weeks
ago I reckon they are just trying to persuade someone to inject lots of cash
into their beer drinking fund.

It will be interesting to see what they manage on September 7th when they
hire Nashville speedway for the day. And I wonder if someone will be keeping
a close eye on their stops to change drivers only?

Sounds like a violation of the second law of thermodynamics to me.
