      Not sure if this was a 1/4 mile or 1000 ft drag but either way a top fuel dragster is 2-3 times quicker than this. There are street legal cars that can run high 9s. A Tesla Model S Plaid would be a fairly close race with this. It's cool don't get me wrong, but that was not a very impressive time for a purpose built electric dragster. Electric is the future in most applications and I'm a huge fan of electric cars, but this is a LONG way from being a competitor to ICE dragsters.

    Are AWD Dragsters a thing? If so wouldn't it make more sense for them to make more use of the traction that the front tires could provide and just relocate some of the motors up front, unlike ICE you dont have to add too many parts that add weight either. You wouldnt have to change battery placement and you would be able to make more use of the traction.

    • @thepsychedelicmicroscope4688
      @thepsychedelicmicroscope4688 Рік тому

      Ha it’s not even close a Top Fuel does the 60 foot in 0.8-0.85 seconds (fastest I’ve seen is 0.77/0.78) and is already going around 100 mph. 0-100 mph in under 1 second. They’re on the verge of breaking 340 mph in 1000 feet not even a full 1/4 mile. They’re also geared to limit to the top speed (for safety reasons) but now that Goodyear said the tires are good for 340+ maybe we shall see them push past that barrier soon.

    Kinda too bad so many critics bad mouth it. I'm a realist and I think running drag cars is cool, regardless of the power source. It takes a lot of smart tech to get a car to go quick and work out the bugs to make it quicker. Toyota beat Art Arfons Green Monster on the dragstrip, for a while. One of the best TV ads ever.

      He over volted the living hell out of the motors to get lots of power, but he used the wrong DC motors. Had he used motors that had interpoles, he would not have sparks and it would go even faster.

    • @EETechs
      @EETechs 8 років тому +5

      Show me a stock gas engine that can be pushed by 500% without modifying it? Those motors he is using are rated for 72 volts, but he is running them at 300+ volts and 1000's of amps to get high power out of them. No stock gas engine would last even second without blowing up if you pushed it by 500%. You have to build the gas engine with stronger components wheres as all you need to do with brushed DC motors is increase amps and voltage to get free power that will allow you to gown a 1/4 mile track, problem free.

    For all the people making nasty comments, 1)This was not his best run. Us EV people have to make crappy cars before we make good ones. 2)John does not have a billion dollar budget. It's not like the race car has billions of dollars of R&D, more than half a century of R&D, millions of engineering hours, etc! There is simply no way some 1 dude in garage is going to overcome all that investment in ICE cars in a short period of time. If Ford spent their Mustang EV budget on John he would ALREADY have EV's doing 5000+ HP. 3)The noise (or lack their of) is easily mitigated by simply allowing the EV to race next to a loud ICE car. Do we really need two noisemakers on the track?
