From the press release:
Cedric Lynch of Agni Motors to answer your questions, live!
21st March 2012
The legend that is Cedric Lynch, gives his time to chat exclusively with TTXGP Forum members. He brings with him team boss and business partner Arvind Rabadia to answer your questions.
Agni Motors Racing Team's not-so-secret weapon is a giant within the EV world. Ask anyone who has ever built an EV of any description and they would have come across his name if not his motor. Cedric Lynch has been inventing since the 1970's and showed the world his first electric motor design in 1979, using a prototype in a competition to make a vehicle get the furthest in two hours on the power of two small car batteries. His design came second out of about 50 competitors using a home-made motor which had armature and field laminations cut out from flattened soup cans. Subsequent developments in Cedric's motor saw permanent magnets used and also had the magnetic flux running axially through the armature.
Cedric's fame has grown over the years from appearances on Tomorrow World, New Scientist and most recently Wallace & Gromit on the BBC. More recently, TTXGP have been hearing rumblings about a brand new more powerful motor as well as exciting opportunities for the application of the motor beyond the road; including a solar powered water pump project just completed in India.
This week at 7pm (GMT) on Thursday 22nd March the winning team of Cedric Lynch and his best friend, business partner, and Agni Motors race team owner Arvind Rabadia, will be joining us to chat motors, races, and build projects.
Please post any questions you have for him here and be sure to be online on Thursday for this rare opportunity.
