However, there will be safeguards in place to make sure there is a cut-off when excess power is being produced. We are thinking of using the Freescale solutions for cars.<br />About the HUD, we have a few choices. We could use one of those portable projectors (some use a LASER) and add a special coating to the glass, we could use a secondary glass screen like the one's on fighter jets or we could use the common LCD + mirror solution. We also thought of checking out some transparent OLED solutions but we believe them not to be ready yet and to be very expensive.João Paredeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14076026657031006121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6569457703578280852.post-1444393150887277752012-07-22T18:15:48.274+01:002012-07-22T18:15:48.274+01:00A link to a DIY forum on hub motors, just in case ...A link to a DIY forum on hub motors, just in case this may interest you.<br /><br />http://www.diyelectriccar.com/forums/showthread.php/30kw-hub-motors-evi-43115p6.htmlthingstodohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10430216925903210273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6569457703578280852.post-11218360438927894732012-07-22T07:31:57.910+01:002012-07-22T07:31:57.910+01:00Your project sounds very interesting.

The wheel motors appear to be the key to your project, so that the original engine can remain in the SUV and power (via alternators or a generator?) the electricity for charging the batteries when they run down.<br /><br />Have you investigated hub motors yet? Several large car makers have announced that they are working on hub motors only to deny it 6 months or 12 months later. <br /><br />You mention a secondary ECU for the original diesel engine. So you plan to 'fake' the signals going to the original ECU and keep it 'running the SUV'?<br /><br />You must be looking at a very stable and safe system to drive your dashboard. It would be very scary to lose all of your dashboard at once due to a drive issue or a solid state drive vibrating lose.<br /><br />Other HUD projects have added a flat 'second screen' in front of the windshield that is tinted to allow the projected information to display brightly enough. In Canada it is against the rules to tint your windshield more than 4 inches from the top, so the second screen is a way around that.<br /><br />I look forward to your build and will visit the site often!thingstodohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10430216925903210273noreply@blogger.com
