Two questions I"ve been pondering...
1 - Can you run a 120V motor off of 12V and 10x step-up transformer? Similarly, could you run a 208V 3-phase motor from a 10x step-up transformer and 24v? (or more generally, can you run a motor off of step-up transformer?)
2 - What about a vaccuum cleaner motor? These things are 120v at 10amps = 1200W (approx 0.8hp?). That's plenty for a scooter. Maybe 4 of them could each power a wheel of a small car? I'm pretty sure they run at very high rpm, but doubt they have any reasonably good torque or dyanamics.
