Thanks for the link LFP. Now that I have read it a couple of times, I think it is his style of writing and phrasing. It would explain why he has not been involved in the forum for a while. I thought it was because he was busy with his internet business. He described the project as, The...

I cut the first step off the freewheel body, so I couldnt attach the 11t or 13t sprocket. Three years later it is still going strong. Thanks for the tip on using epoxy. I will use that next time. http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&p=63420#p63420 Greg

I second that. Given that you cant weight bear or rotate the foot is not a good sign. The medical staff will let you know what the best options are for fixing it up. Letting it heal on its own without knowing whats going on may be the worst option. Greg

http://www.greenvehicleguide.gov.au has a estimate of the CO2 produced when recharging an electric car from the grid. From the home page click on Search, Tick the box for "Emissions From Recharging and Fuel Production" and select your State. Select "Vehicle Class" and select "All vehicles" to...

I can see why they call it Blind Creek trail. This magpie looks like he is going for the eye. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/ipad-application/magpie-hotline-atwitter-with-aerial-attacks/story-fn6bfkm6-1225925485831 Greg

Check out telluric currents, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telluric_current The theory is that somewhere in the world there is a thunderstorm happening at any one time along the equatorial region of the earth. The currents are very weak. I dont know what size battery you would need to store...

I tested sixty of the A123, ie 6 of the 36v toolpacks. Heres the procedure I followed to test ten at a time. Bulk charge a pack to 34.5v. Single cell charge each cell to 3.60v with CC/CV ending at 0.1amps. Let them sit for an hour. Try and test at the same room temperature and using the same...

Big Moose, Type , #spillcam UTM , in the twitter search box to get the reference. Thanks for the pdf. Page 37 makes for chilling reading. That BOP is a piece of shit and should never have been put into service. TD of the well is 18360', The base of the drill pipe is at 8367'. So no where...

The units are in feet. They were discussing this on twitter a couple of days ago as to whether they were feet or metres. So if the ROV positions are correct. 1715ft to the east and 2405ft to the north. Approx 2953ft NNE. Do you know how much drill pipe is left in the hole. Do you think it...

The topics in "General Discussion" expire after a period of time or number of topics. For example oldest inactive topic is Mar 06 2009. I just had a look in "E-Scooter and Motorcycle General Discussion" and its oldest post is May 10 2009. So it looks like it is getting trimmed too. Greg

You might want to check out the products from http://www.genasun.com. For example the GVB24-6 will use a '12v' panel as input and output 24v. A bit pricey though. It may be cheaper to have two panels and two 12v charge controllers. Each panel and controller would charge a 12v half of the 24v...

Heres a link to the Victorian Gov Gazette, 21st April 2010. Read it and weep, http://www.gazette.vic.gov.au/gazette/Gazettes2010/GG2010S139.pdf Looks like the limit has 'increased' from 200w to 200w. :cry: Greg

Thanks for the vids. It looks like great fun. To get an idea of the speed difference I noted the lap times from fairracing31 and your laps. His laps were 90, 88, 87, 85, 86, 87 secs. Your vid2 times are between 101 -104 secs and vid3 times are 90 - 93 secs. I dont believe the vid3 times. I...

Well I have had a look at the discharge curves for the X-1P cell and I am suprised no one else has spotted the obvious errors. Take a closer look at the header data. Error 1 5C Discharge, ... Discharge time=810S 10C Discharge, ... Discharge time=408S 15C Discharge, ... Discharge time=464.64S...
