    Honda MT50 road legal conversion

    Does this make sense? (no chain or belt, pedal operated generator and wires to the rear hub motor)

    You seem to have missed the part where I talked about accessibility for people who would struggle to even get onboard a conventional bike with a chain. This layout allows the seats to rotate into position with nothing in the way of the riders feet. For someone who has severe mobility issues...

    Does this make sense? (no chain or belt, pedal operated generator and wires to the rear hub motor)

    I've actually ridden a bike that used this technology. It is a side by side tandem bike that would have had a very complex drive to combine the output of both riders. The twin (or more) generator units allow each rider to pedal at different cadences and loads. This layout makes the vehicle...

    Cheap FOCer 2 kits (35A 12s VESC6 based design) CURRENTLY SOLD OUT

    Unfortunately I have not been able to get more boards made. Just tried today to get some made but the various parts shortages are keeping me from ordering. Not much point in making them if I have to source parts for much higher than normal prices and SMD solder them myself.

    Cheap FOCer 2 kits (35A 12s VESC6 based design) CURRENTLY SOLD OUT

    Sold the last one. Going to order another batch once JLCPCB has all the parts in stock. Might be a while with the current chip shortages.

    Some Dr. Seuss books going out of Print - Racist portrayals

    They are not removing the evidence of the past they are just no longer publishing or profiting off of it. Things stop being published for much more mundane reasons every day and no one bats an eye. If they had quietly stopped publishing it we likely would not be having this conversation. You...

    Some Dr. Seuss books going out of Print - Racist portrayals

    I don't really see this as hiding from the past. Dr. Seuss made some really racist propaganda cartoons during WW2, they are no longer being printed and the reflection on that time is credited with the drive for inclusion in his later work. Many of his most celebrated works might not exist if...

    Some Dr. Seuss books going out of Print - Racist portrayals

    If the foundation had not put out a press release would you have even noticed that these books were no longer being published? There was no organised or even disorganized group of people calling for this. The Dr. Zeus foundation took a look at themselves and decided that some of the works were...

    Anyone offer Ebike consultation for $$?

    Might be a bit out there but if you are needing to haul 500+ lbs up steep hills perhaps something like this is better suited? geminusbikes.com The pedals being disconnected from the drive feels a bit odd at first but after a few minutes you don't really notice.

    Battery pack selection for self-launching glider

    Since the extra capacity is not going to kill your weight budget why not go for a pack that doesn't get worked quite so hard. Sure the cells can handle 20C but doing that often will greatly reduce the lifespan. Make the 15 kg pack into two parts and it would be easy enough for someone to...

    Gas turbine & antifreeze windmill startup, fire in the hole

    It is strange to hear about these wind farms having problems in the cold. There are a ton running in Canada and they seem to do just fine in the winters here.

    Shaman on here is the one who did the design and the SLJ artwork. https://endless-sphere.com/forums/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=62507 It is actually pretty good practice for hand soldering a combo of through hole and SMD components.

    Converting a MONI motor glider to electric

    Do you have a detailed W&B from the original builder? If you need a copy of the sheet to do the math I have the forms from the factory. There is a lot of dead weight on the front end of a Moni since it was originally intended for a larger motor. The ballast in mine weighs more than the motor...

    There are plenty intended for R/C motor and prop selection that will do the trick.

    Self-launching sailplane conversion

    You could just measure the current thrust and that gives you a starting point. One thing you will need to take into account is the thrust available at the speed you climb at. A paramotor is all about static thrust but a glider will be moving quite a bit faster while climbing.

    Self-launching sailplane conversion

    You should look at some of the electric paramotor drives people have worked out. They have similar prop size constraints and power requirements. https://openppg.com/shop/paramotors/openppg-sp140/

    Other than the seating position the GOAT and Lazair are very different airframes built using different methods.
