S10 Chevy Blazer
This 1995 Chevy Blazer was the proof-of-concept vehicle for EMIS™. The modifications included the addition of a prototype WarP 7" Motor that was mounted behind the transmission. The drive shaft was shortened and
the original drive shaft angle was perfectly maintained - which is critical to avoid vibration.
Since the prototype motor had a square-cut, 10-spline shaft, rather than the 32-tooth involute spline shafts of he normal TransWarP motors, it was necessary to utilize a slip-yoke style drive shaft. The square-cut splines do not allow for slippage, and
there was no method of lubricating the splines. The TransWarP Motors were developed as a means of eliminating this concern.
Originally, a 5K potentiometer was used to control the motor, however it soon became apparent that it was impossible to determine the proper amount of electrical assist that should be applied. Additionally, the amount of electrical assist that
needs to be supplied varies with the speed of the vehicle, engine load, ICE RPM's, and numerous other factors.
These issues required the development of the patent pending technology we refer to as EMIS. The microprocessor based controller interacts with the vehicles ICE computer to determine when the most beneficial times are to tactically apply electric assist.
the result is a system that is totally transparent to the driver and seamlessly integrated into the vehicle. If all components are available, a vehicle could be converted in less than a day.
