Hi everyone,
I'm new here so apologies if I'm doing this wrong!
Your thoughts and opinions on any aspect would be greatly appreciated.
I'm looking to build an electric winch for sports such as wakeboarding, skiing, snowboarding etc.
The motor doesn't need to be very fast but I would like to be able to vary its top / constant speed from say 20kph to 60kph.
The motor will however will need to be strong enough to pull a rider out of deepish water as it will predominantly be used for wakeboarding.
I would like to use the hub motor as the cable drum so I was thinking a scooter or moped style hub motor that has a wider rim would be easier to modify.
I would like a way of soft starting to build up tension in the cable, a short burst of high torque to pull out of the water then back of slightly to coast along.
Also, as the cable/rope is pulled inwards the diameter of the drum will increase slightly also increasing the speed. Is there a way to counteract this effect so the winch pulls at a steady programmable speed.
Thanks in advance and sorry if I have missed anything out.
Fred
