Hey everyone,
As you may know, I am converting a car to electric.
One of the problems with an electric conversion, is that you lose the "waste by-products" of the gasoline engine, namely, heat in the winter and vacuum year-round.
I have seen that there are some
electric vacuum pumps available through EV conversion places, but they are all very expensive.
What would really be needed to create vacuum for power brakes?
Could something like this work?
air suck pump
Doesn't say if it is AC or DC powered, but if it is DC, it would then just need some sort of simple control to turn it on and off at the right time.
Whoops, I just noticed, it isn't electric, but rather air powered. Does that mean I could hook up an air compressor tank to it and just have that aircompressor run while hooked up to house power, saving it in an air tank for later?
Would this work? Any other ideas?
