James,<br><br>I may have some experiences to
share. I have embarked on a similar quest three years
ago after the diesel on my 29 Ft Cal failed. Not
wanting to settle for a replacement diesel, I began
looking for an electric solution. <br><br>In the process
I have needed to and continue to learn alot, an
have organized the journey into what is titled "The
P4W Project" (Power Forward Project). The mission of
the project is to test electric propulsion
technologies, measure public reation and promote the use of new
energy technologies.<br><br>After evaluating a few DC
motors, such as series wound traction and pluse width
modulated DC motors, we selected the pluse width modulated
motor. Last March we launched and are begining to test
components that make up electric propulsion systems. The Cal
is scheduled to be on tour this summer.<br><br>The
P4W Project has been invited to exhibit at an Earth
Day Event, April 26, sponsored by the US Department
of Justice. Additional details are available via my
email at p4w@... <br><br>I to am attending JHU's
MBA program.<br><br>I'll be glad to help.<br><br>John
