Being an industrial electrician, I know all to well the raw torque of electric motors. Especially at 100% slip speed. (0 rotor speed, or right at start, for those that don't know) Elec motors can produce upwards of 400% more than rated Tq at startup. My other hobby is RC planes and Heli's. I have many batteries, Lithium Polymer, that deliver HUGE amps for their size. But the life, and volatility of them is not there for mass public use. What lot's don't know about Lithium based batteries is when they combust, or internally short, they create their own oxygen. They will burn under water!. You can not put them out until the energy is all spent. Why, when they go, they go full send.

One of my main size packs I use are 25.2v fully charged, 3.3Ah. about 2.5"x2.5"x5" and I regularly pull over 100A out of them in flight. That's 3.3HP! Into a motor about 2" round by 2.5" long, spinning a 17" propeller at 10,000RPM for about 13FtLbs of thrust. in a 5.5Lb plane. All ads up to wild excitement
