That's the trouble with AC is that everything is 3 times as complicated (expensive!)

Tom G. is converting a Dodge Neon to AC, using more or less off-the shelf industrial equipment. Of course he is also a electrical engineer and builds robots for fun.

I have had lots of questions from people about his project, but I am just NOT a knowlegeble guy when it comes to AC.

The next video I make with Tom will have to be about the AC drive he is going to be using in his car.

I do believe that the DC to AC inversion is a built-in feature of the drive that he is using.
