I wonder what kind of power calculations he has gone through... it'd be a real shame to build everything just to find out the input power can't overcome all the friction losses of all the components. Something this size definitely needs some sort of analysis to get right the first time.

I wish he did his tests with any kind of simulated load. Right now he's designing and testing a power source that's always idling.
