Motor just generated 10 lbs. Applied 12VDC. Pictures on the way. Planning to roll at Portland Sunday Parkways eBike Challenge, 21 JUN, 1100.

There will be two e-bike rides at the 2015 Portland Pedalpalooza. Who's in? http://www.shift2bikes.org/cal/viewpp2015.php#06-5078 http://www.shift2bikes.org/cal/viewpp2015.php#24-4903 BREAKING: Portland World Naked Bike Ride sets location...

Challenge Statement: Create a purely conceptual, novel lightweight vehicle using advanced materials and innovative structural solutions while maintaining or exceeding current vehicle safety standards. http://arpa-e.energy.gov/?q=video-other/local-motors-and-arpa-e-litecar-challenge

We need to keep an open mind of the possibilities, and not dogmatically reject new ideas, out of hand. Just because someone totally failed in a past try simply means one iteration of the idea didn't work. There's always inspiration for some other genius in every effort.

If a magnetic motor could be build, would your deathbike, SR, and Palatov have any value?

Perhaps a Magnetic Motor Build ES thread might satisfy you?

Yes. They all seem to be promulgating a common disconnect between mechanical work and magnetic work.

It only looks like "infinite" energy, because of the manner in which the current through the coils interact with the magnets. Your ears will feel much better, if you divorce the resultant "perpetual" mechanical motion from the coil/magnet interaction. I've actually seen the motor work, in...

Uh, Magnic Light uses eddy currents, to power the light. Magnetic motors work on the same principle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJ23gmS3KHY The magnetic motor actually uses a small electrical source to get the magnets to rotate past the coils. The inventor, Yildiz, has not master a...

They want Western Union. If bank transfer, add $35.

Maybe it's based on the same science as this? Naaaaaaaaaaaaaah. Can't possibly be true. NOT in a million years. http://www.magniclight.com/MagnicLight/index.php/en/ http://campyonlyguy.blogspot.com/2013/12/magnic-light-review.html

Totally agree. Spandex seems to be cutting off circulation on the $5,000 American bike snob crowd. Since Greg LeMond, they seem to be all about weaponry. It's all about the race, which is not even all that, considering all the doping. Good grief, USAC is even doing amateur dope control...

I can't tell if EM3ev offers LFP or NMC. So, I'm assuming LFP. I am a bit curious to splurge on NMC for the power/range, in exchange for life cycle. With fast moving technology, changing every six months, long life cycle maybe irrelevant? Being new to the whole EV landscape, it seems to...
