Re: Where do you hang out in person?

you use the allen wrench on the garbage disposal then push the little red circuit breaker button. it has its own breaker for when it jams.
i hang out at the marina, the main boat house/work shop is where all the excitement is and theres always someone upto something

Re: Battery connection method

30 amps from 5p is only 6amps a 10mmx1mm ring magnet would work on the 21700 cells with some 0.07mm copper. the 0.07mm copper works better than the 0.1mm copper, its more flexible. you sure you want 40T3 instead of 50e? is it cold where you live? im still using the magnets but i have to breakdown an...

rc wing commander gave me a quote according to my specs
they stated a 9 sqm kite kit would be the equivalent of a 20 kw electric motor

Re: Ebike snowplow

yes, thats why you need a blower, a plow really isnt any good
if you ballpark it at worst case scenario for 5kw, or 100v 50ah you get 1 hour of run time at 5km/h to clear a 24 inch wide path of snow 12 inches deep

as much as i like the tadpole trike/velomobile style for getting around (i think it would have the best chance of getting people out of cars. ) our north american cities just arent designed for them to co-exist with cars im always looking for another used one for the rainy day rides and long cruises...
