Some answers for you Neutron:

Is the motor controller integrated with the assembly? Our low voltage brushless motors, including the one upon which the direct drive supercharger is based, have integrated commutation electronics that allow them to operate directly from a battery, in this case 24V. However, speed control requires the application of variable DC voltage to the input terminals, which means a buck regulator or DC motor controller with an external inductor for filtering high frequency PWM will be needed.

What is the cost? Less than $1,500 for the direct drive model, whereas the much higher speed and pressure version with an integrated gearbox will be well over $2,000.

How soon will it be available for purchase? Within six to eight weeks, possibly sooner, if early adopters are willing to make commitments and push for it.

To my knowledge, no special machining will be needed, in order to use our centrifigul superchargers.
