    I think you guys could improve it to a great extent. Use a BLDC motor and don't use a gear box. Instead of a Gear box simply use a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) to control the speed. Use MPPT logic to maximize power transfer. Use of Lithium Ferro Phosphate type battery could also add some points into your project. Adding a electromagnetic clutch can also be beneficial for driving on a terrain.

    Dear Mr. Rolf,
    Not only do you need to brush up on your knowledge of the Mahabharata but you also need to work on your spellings and yes, while you are at it, why not spend a bit of time reading a little about mechanical engineering than entertaining pseudoscientific notions such as those that you have stated above.

    P. S. If you need a book recommendation, I'd suggest you begin with "Elements of Mechanical Engineering" by Kestoor Praveen or, come to think of it, maybe "Disney Pixar Cars" book would do too.

    Happy reading!
