That's great stuff [except the chicken bit, lol]. Ingenuity will save us. I've been looking into algae farming in my area, nearly all the boats have gone now they've run out of fish. It would be great for the town, and the world. It's a great source of bio fuel...

lol Thank's samd, it's beyond me but maybe one of those bots will pick it up and we can all benefit.

Lol, same hairdresser as me! That's me in a wig on my avatar. Streamliners. If you have his ema, I would indeed like it.

Gravitic wave energy harvesting is a possible future source of power [assuming they exist], but unless we capture a ufo and back engineer it, it may be beyond our abilities, for now... However, geothermal using seawater as an exchange medium is not too hard. Many years ago I came up with an idea...

That's amazing! The sun is low too, it might work a little better where I live. I've been reading about graphene and its photovoltaic properties. Very impressive. If it is more efficient it could make this viable A graphene jacket perhaps?

Salt is useful, check out salt batteries. It's not just salt, plenty of other stuff too. There are obstacles for sure, we'll sort them out. It's crazy living on a ball of energy and not dipping in to it. Material technology is going to make this work.

The system I propose contains the fluids, only steam is released. Graphene insulates it. Enormous amounts of energy are just ten kilometers away. Turbines could be placed in mines to get them closer to the heat source until materials are available. I'm not talking about hot spots, I'm talking...

There is a tomorrow, It's tomorrow in Australia already. Calenders are a human concept designed to enslave you, like money and Hollywood. Maybe there's plenty of oil, http://www.usnews.com/opinion/blogs/on-energy/2011/09/14/abiotic-oil-a-theory-worth-exploring Maybe not, either way, it's too...

The WWW has given us a [virtually] free communication system. Geothermal power as I described, would give us all the free power we need. The recovered minerals would cover any costs. And they are going to have to make it free because in a very short time robots will be doing all the work, I mean...

I came across this on my quest to understand hall sensors. http://www.etotheipiplusone.net/?p=2373 I haven't seen anything about it on the forum, hope it's useful.

Geothermal is not new, we even have it in Australia, which is nowhere near the edge of a continental plate like Iceland. They find a hot spot and pour water into it till it runs out of energy, extracting what heat they can. When it cools down, that's it! All the [fresh drinking] water has to be...

Thank's to everybody, especially gwhy, for your help in choosing the components for this build. It would have been very hard without the wealth of info on this site. Took a bit of studying but I'm happy with what I'm getting, which is: Motor, EMP SERIES Outrunner Brushless Motor SK6374 KV180...

Thanks again gwhy, I'll process that information asap. I just read the Lyen thread, I see a lot of you use them. I have to read about Hall sensors too.

Ok, the process has begun. The motor is ordered. I would like to thank gwhy for his guidance, it was indeed an excellent choice I realize now after hours of study... Also Lebowski who confirmed it, and cleverly pointed out that a clutch would alleviate my concerns regarding ride-ability. My...

This is great! Thank's all. Speaking as a newbie, this was one of the things I puzzled over.
