I setup my A/C to do a test and after ~15 minutes the little motor started to burn up! It appears that the fan for the motor is actually missing, but I don't know how much that would have helped.
So now it's back to the drawing board for the A/C. I am now going to look at 3 options:
1: Get another, stronger motor, maybe a 3 HP that will run of 180v and under 3,000 RPM so it can just run off a contactor.
2: Use the rear shaft of the Warp9 to run the A/C. This is probably the fastest solution, but I would need to measure the space to see if a pulley would fit.
3: Get a Prius A/C unit and build a 3 phase inverter for it, so some other kind of electric A/C compressor.
