Have any of you KOLBERS looked into the new group of electric lawn mowers for batteries,
motors,controllers ? They mow wide open 3000 rpms for an hour cutting
$600 or less can they
Be modified to fly a KOLB?

Without knowing the exact numbers, a electric mower, would likely have
no more power than the same using a gas engine. And seeing that most
electric mowers, are rather small and weak, lets guess 3 bhp equivalent.
That's ~2200-2400 watts. (2.4 kW) That is also the prescribed power for
a particular 11 lb high performance R/C model, using 24 to 48 volts, and
from 100 to 50 amps. And a healthy 4000-5500Mah LiPo battery pack. At
full throttle, that would last about 15 minutes.. just right for a good
RC flight.
It could also make for a SERIOUS electric bicycle power-plant.. but a
503 Rotax is 37 kilowatts. You might need 15 electric lawn mowers to
produce the same results.

40-60kW for $6500, minus the batteries, and electronic speed control.

Look up Peter Sripol, he's built his own ultralight aircraft with a single
electric motor.

It's much larger than the lawn mower motors of course, and probably closer
to a rotax 277 in power, but it does work!
Would need two of those to get a Kolb flying reasonably I would think.

The new Fisher airplane company is developing a range of electric propulsion packages
from 33 hp to 100 and hoping to offer them at about 1 and 1/2 times the
cost of equivalent ice unites. Might want to keep track of their progress. Its
going to happen!
