Re: (ET) Wood Chipper Conversion

I have been thinking of installing a 36v motor in place of the 110 AC motor
on my chipper. An AC powered chipper is way underpowered and if you use an
extension cord it becomes more useless.

I probable will never get around to converting it to run off of my EGT 200.
I have too many other projects.

This isn't directly related to EV's, but someone might have some knowledge
on this question that I have.

Has anyone ever converted a gas powered wood chipper to electric? I have 
one
that has that was given to me and it turns out that the crank is bent as
something fell off the chipper wheel and jammed, bending the crankshaft. I
am interested in converting it to electric as the motor is bad, so it is
eligible. I have and Elec-trak with a 36 volt battery system, so I could 
use
that to power the motor on the chipper or else go with an AC motor and a
long extension cord.
