I was just thinking about a way to get rid of the first conversion from 3 phase. If you can build an easy rectifier you are good. Braking with the MMM will be regenerative no matter what, so unless you are using a freewheel on the driveline you will get back a few percent. Using a MMM on the generator side would be a horrible idea IMO, the efficiency is not there for generator use.

What is the goal of the project? Maximum distance, minimum fuel expenditure over a specified distance?
