I spent a bunch of time this weekend testing and working on the SeaDoo supercharger setup. It's not going well, no matter what I do I just can't seem to get smooth consistent activation. I've tried a few different motors, and different settings on the controller. I think the impeller wheel may just be too massive for a motor that can achieve the desired RPMs.

I've been checking out RC forums a lot and it seems like one solution may be to go with a sensored motor rather than the sensorless motors I have been using. Apparently sensored motors have far less issues with cogging, and much smoother activation. The problem is that I have yet to find a large/fast enough sensored motor for this application. So if anyone comes across one let me know.

In the mean time I think I'm going to refocus on my smaller compressor design and getting that ready to test. The motor is special order from china, but should get here in the next week or so. In the mean time I've ordered the tooling for machining a taper into the impeller to directly fit the collet adapter. This will make a clean fit with a short and stronger shaft.
