Custom hand-wound motors? Exotic battery chemistries? Mr. Fusion?
Mr fusion is the dream, maybe someday.
Hand-wound motors sounds intriguing. Is this something that could be done in a garage? Does it take a very long time? Sounds expensive.
I definitely agree that swapping in new battery chemistry will be a thing. The same power out of a smaller pack would make a lot of difference. Even having the same size/weight but higher output would be worth something.
Hand-wound motor? Like... a bicycle?
Electric motors have "windings" coils of wire wound around a metal core that generate a magnetic field when you run a current through them, and that field makes the motor spin (super simplified explanation of course)
So that's probably what they're referring to.
Ahh that makes more sense lmao
More coffee for me, then!
