Re: Blown GS450h hybrid inverter repaired (with cheap camry inverter parts)

Hi, nice thread. A question for you. Where you marked, does this means that is where the IGBTs are, or you are just pointing at the PCB, where they are mounted?

Kind regards,

The planetary replacement took care of the noise.

We were recently wondering what could be making a knocking noise each time the ICE comes on. The noise becomes unbearable, as the vehicle moves. Initially, we thought the noise was coming from the engine. Engine was removed and disassembled to investigate if there were maybe spurn connecting rod be...

Re: Compound miter saw

Oefff... this depends on what is broken? I would try to fix it and let the saw be a saw. :) Great feedback, but i dont need it to be a saw for the second time. I just wanted to know if there are any DIY projects, that a miter saw AC electric motor can be used for, instead of just discarding it. Hav...

Thanks for your response. I think I'd let this slide away. I have got other 12-24VDC motors that I could use though. Was just asking if this particular one can be made to spin, without the steering ECU

Re: Toyota's electric power steering motor

Would recheck if it's a DC or AC motor then..

Toyota's electric power steering motor

Hey everyone. Would need some kind of help here. I recently replaced the electric DC motor, attached to a Corolla steering column, and instead of throwing it away, I just thought, it would be helpful in my planned electric bicycle conversion. The electric motor, is rated 25VDC, without any informati...

Re: How to charge HV batteries off car?

I think you could use a bunch of LED power supplies connected in series for this job.
