DIY Project for creating a powerful light-weight vehicle – driven on electromagnetic Energy

The discussion centers on a DIY project to build a lightweight trike or cart (100-250 kg) powered by electromagnetic energy, intended for eventual use with wings for flight. The main inquiry is whether components from old microwave ovens, specifically their high-voltage transformers and magnetrons, can be repurposed to generate magnetic energy sufficient to propel the vehicle over significant distances, possibly combined with 12V car batteries or alternatives. Responses clarify that microwave oven transformers produce high voltage (~3000V) unsuitable for electric vehicle propulsion, and magnetrons generate microwave radiation rather than usable electrical power for motors. Instead, it is recommended to focus on established electric vehicle power systems such as 12V, 24V, or 36V battery packs commonly used in electric bicycles and scooters, along with appropriate motors and controllers. Typical electric bicycle motors run on 36V, sometimes using two 18V power tool batteries in series. Achieving high power output (40-60 HP) with typical electric cycle motors is costly and may be beyond the scope of microwave components. The project requires a battery, motor, controller, and charging method, with mechanical adaptation for three or four wheels. The concept of "pure energy" propulsion from microwave parts is considered impractical based on current understanding.
