Looks neat. Similar in concept to those alarm clocks that display the time via a rapidly swinging row of LEDs. Yours is probably a "tad" more involved/complex though.

900 RPM, or 15 rotations per second.

Very cool! So, the next version will use 24,756 RGB LEDs?? That would be a 3-Megavoxel display... Sounds like a plan!

Nice. All we need now is that 300A 50V or more ESC made for some of the crazy hardcore HV guys out there. A new challange would be a Motor controller capable of at least 600Kw (Basically up to 900V and 700A) for a very high power and up to 30,000rpm AC Induction motor. Must be compact as well.

A race car, but not F1 (If the opportunity is there why not ). It will basically show everyone that electric can and will be faster then gas. It seems that is the one thing most everyone seems to be concerned with. I have found the battery supplier that can provide the cell to handle the demand. Just something to showcase what electrics can accomplish.
