Hi Adam,

I know that you have been asking about the project that I have been working on. I attached an image of the Revolt Power PCB that I have been kicking around.

I have been using AutoCAD to figure out the mechanics of that design. My Power PCB design uses your “sandwich” technique attaching SOT227 MOSFET and Diodes to a heatsink instead of your TO247’s. Each block on the Power PCB operates at 100 amps, all are connected in parallel using a multilayer busbar.

Depending how the Power PCB assembly is populated, the options for it could be 200V@1000A or 400V@1000A with MOSFETs, or 500V@1000A with IGBTs. This Power PCB would not be cheep to build, but would offer a high end version of the ReVolt. It looks good on paper anyway !!!
