After working for a full semester on the Clarkson University Electric Snowmobile, I had the opportunity to witness the track of the snowmobile spinning for the first time. This snowmobile is built on a Polaris 600RR racing chassis and is fitted with a three phase AC motor and 200 lithium polymer batteries. This test was done a number of weeks before the snowmobile was taken to the SAE Clean Snowmobile Challenge. More information about the Clarkson University Electric Snomwobile team can be found here.

AC motors are more efficient than DC motors and requires less maintennance ~
Good work, I totally like the idea. Are you using a conventional braking system? I was thinking that a braking system that recharges the batteries would improve the range a little. However I don’t know much about it, just thought that it would be a good idea to incorporate into the design of an electric snowmobile.
Your Electric snowmobile demo was Awsome! Nice and Quiet!
