  1. BASCO: Hybid Lawn Mower Erfan Ahmad Andrew Bauer Derek Forehand

  2. Topics • Smartec Transaxle and Spindle • Meeting with Steve Weber • Return on Investment (ROI) Analysis

  3. Gantt Chart

  4. Smartec Transaxle • Variable Speed AC induction motor • Drive by wire system • Can be operated both independently and in pairs • Fully tunable via a controller

  5. Smartec Spindle • Two brushless DC motors • Zero maintenance: • No belt • No brushes • No pulleys • Dual controller package to ease heat and element risk.

  6. Meeting with Steve • Talked about prototype possibilities. • Trade offs between performance and cut time • Discussed existing products • Looked at average power needs. • Draw from blades/transaxles • Generator/motor requirements • Talked about cost savings directed at buyers. • Return on Investment Analysis

  7. Meeting with Steve • Existing Equipment • Examined existing mechanical equipment • Got generator information • Testing at BaSco test facility • Got permission to run battery loading tests • Blade tests to determine power draw • Drive tests to determine machine drivability

  8. Top Secret Prototype Riding Mower

  9. ROI: Consumer Basis: • 100 hrs / year mowing time • .75 gallons of gas / hr • $4.00 / gallon Analysis Results: Return on Investment does not support marketing in the Consumer Market Share with this design. Other design types might allow better opportunity.

  10. ROI: Prosumer Basis: • 200 hrs / year mowing time • .75 gallons of gas / hr • $4.00 / gallon Analysis: Return on Investment supports marketing within this range, but is still not ideal. As with the consumer market, this could be improved with moderate design changes.

  11. ROI: Professional Basis: • 1280 hrs / year mowing time • .75 gallons of gas / hr • $4.00 / gallon Analysis: Return on Investment suggests an ideal market within this target group with the current design.

  12. Market Suggestions • The Consumer market does not do well with current equipment costs. Potential opportunity might exist with a change to our design ideas which we need to investigate further. • The Prosumer market is viable with our current design, but could also be improved by a change in design. • The Commercial/Professional market is an optimal target for a mower of this type based on cost and design specs.
