Mr Gasket Electric Drive to run ac compressor
I was browsing through Craigslist and saw one of those Mr Gasket electric water pump drive kits for cheap. For purely a mental thinking out of the box exercise, would anyone think you could use that to drive an AC compressor? My initial thought would be fabbing its location etc.... then a relay from the AC green wire which would connect to both the electric drive motor and AC compressor wire (I.e. the wire from the dash to the relay, when turned on would switch the relay which would send power to both the compressor wire and electric drive motor). I imagine one of those motors have enough torque to run the AC compressor if it can run a water pump. I guess the only issue would be the longevity of the electric motor. I understand these aren't meant to be run for street driving, merely passes at a drag strip. Any thoughts?
