Here's the Forkenswift's motor being spun up (and down, and up, and down) with a used golf cart controller. (Thanks to the EVDL folks for help with connecting the oddball Curtis.) Apologies for the poor vid quality - this was shot with a 20 year-old camera. Titles are hard to read in some places, so here they are: 1. Another Forkenswift milestone... 2. First CONTROLLED electric power-up 3. No more welded jumper cables, like last time... 4. This time we're hooked up to a DC motor controller 5. From a 48 volt golf cart :-) 6. We've got more juice this time, too 7. 36 volts -- three 12v batteries 8. And, last but not least,a potentiometer ... 9. (What is it about motors that makes people want to rev them?) 10. Here's the actual potentiometer we'll connect to the car's "gas" pedal. 11. Out of the old Baker forklift. 12. We also have the forklift's motor controller. 13. But we're going to try the golf cart controller first. 14. Tee-off time is approaching ... http://www.forkenswift.com
