[QUOTE="Monkeypants, post: 32821, member: 2708"] The type Bruce has need quite a lot of speed to put out full power. The type with the plastic internal gears is geared up much higher plus may also have stronger magnets. It really kicks out a lot of powe even at very low revs. Too bad the gears let go. Never could figure why the early single phase with the lighter load got the steel gears while the later heavily loaded type got the disposable plastic gears. The current single phase direct drive seems to be a good solution. It kicks out good power at lower revs than the type Bruce has, but nothing like the plastic gear model does. Marcus Bowden fills the plastic gear type with oil, then the gears are constantly lubed and kept cool. He had good luck with this method. The original lube on the plastic gears is grease. .Marcus says that the grease flings off afterawhile and then there is no lube. At that point the gear teeth come off. Ive got one of the dead plastic gear type here, might try the oil filled method. The unit put out about 100 watts at just over tickover, which was nice for night riding withcheated vest on.
