29. Budget

30. Marketability Almost all motor-vehicle manufacturers in the world can use it as it would Increases overall efficiency of vehicle Decreases overall cost Take up less space Target Manufacturing cost of $100 Possible Patent

31. Challenges, Risks, and Contingencies Challenges This has never been done effectively! What makes us think we will succeed where many have failed? Risks We could quite possibly fail to meet the IFEC specifications with our first (capstone) design. We may be unable to make the machine automatically shift speeds and windings

32. Challenges, Risks, and Contingencies Contingencies For expo we will have a motor controlled with our controller that will run, although it may not meet the requirements dictated by IFEC.  If this occurs a permanent magnet rotor will be designed and used in place of the squirrel cage rotor in order to increase torque and efficiency This is beyond the scope of capstone Will be able to run each characteristic for testing using user interface to set frequency and manually switch windings
