Yes. Thanks

Still excel in turd sturring, Chalo ? Everyone later in life doesn't need glitz and glamour of the big cities.

Alabama and most of the Southern States have been slammed several times by storms this summer. People have been moving away so sure they need people to move down and work. ZeroEm. Total USA has major storms. First requirement, choice of terrain. Second requirement, storm cellar, or equivalent. Son ...

Cheaper to live. Cheaper taxes. Plenty of work for those that WANT to. Everyone he has talked to in Alabama, nearly begging him to move and do all their upgrades to housing ,, kitchens, bathrooms, etc. Minimum building restrictions Very little debt after selling out in Fl. Peace and quiet. Plenty of...

Real estate takes a chunk of money to invest in. I don't have that much, unless I sell what I have. If I do that, where would I live ? Son wants to buy in Alabama and live a simple lifestyle, self sufficient as possible. I'm too old to start over !

ZeroEm, I would be interested in what you find, IF you do "poke around". I'm not very computer literate and am up to my eyeballs with projects.
Thank you for any new information.

All good input in this last part of the thread. Agree with the possible new USA administration comments. I feel the Lithium market will fade out. There are many new materials being investigated. Nickle is the biggest component, so, that is what I was looking into. As far as looking into other countr...

Thanks for the input. 1 company is mining Canada and they are extending their area. Another is a neighboring area to a working mine. These 2 are hopefully able to make things work out. The other 2 are new prospects and I am in for a pittance. With the advancement in EV's, the Nickle has to come from...

Thread seems to have fallen off a cliff, so, lets see if anyone is interested ? Have not seen any real mention of investing in Nickle. Seeing as how 80+ % of EV battery cells are composed of Nickle and E. Musk has opened the door to massive battery manufacturing, I have put a pittance of my income (...

That with Volt or Ford cells, John ??

I asked Lebowski, over a year ago, if there were any plans to do the code, and he responded that he just did not have the time to do it. I believe that there is more interest in these alternators now, so, maybe someone that understands code writing could check out if it could be done. I would even d...

The voltage is not as important as the amps. Voltage works on RPM range. I want to do 144V or more on mine, but it takes 600 Amps or more to get real performance from the alternator you have. e-vector spells this out in his posts. It will take a Johannes Huebner brain, coupled to an automotive inver...

I forgot this was a brushless DC controller brain as I wanted an induction motor set up. Sorry.

No chance of that happening down here. Thanks for the info, though.

I did the battery cell swap on my Toshiba Satellite laptop and it won't do anything now. Just shows no battery detected.

My Sony Vaio shows no battery detected but runs fine off the charger connection. Battery is there just pitifully low voltage. Laptop is used as desktop only.

John, you are correct in that I am aware of everything you just posted, including changing out the resistive wire in these suicide shower heads, before I went Solar water heating.I'm just hoping some the educated guys come back in and educate me/us. I am heeding all their advice, just want to be edu...

Maybe I should say why I am/was interested in this charging system. Many years ago, I bought a belt drive 4KW ?120/240 volt AC alternator and attached it to a 10 to 1 gearbox that was attached to a 15 foot diameter propeller that I carved and placed this on a 60' tower that I built. I ran 2 hot legs...

Segment the pack and charge each segment through an isolated AC/DC supply. This idea I have used for my 83V (74V nom.) , but it creates some manipulation to reach a very close balance voltage among segments. The Chevy Volt battery carries a nearly perfect balance of it's own, (.01-.015) usually. I ...

Thanks for the encouragement. We have made these threads trying to get some input from those that DO know about the Bad Boy charging. Would you have some info to steer us into a positive direction, HMmmm ? I am working on the current, just haven't posted all the info I have been gathering up. John, ...

I've been interested in those modules. It's just difficult to get them from the Bus stop up to the house. Would be great if you delivered.

I need to dig out the rectifier and test the voltage. Busier than a 3 peckered Goat the last few weeks. :roll: I would install a 10-12 Amp circuit breaker or fuse between the house supply and the charging device. The item in the link I sent in the UPDATED PM might be all we both need for charging. I...

How can you not understand what I wrote ? I specifically said the log area is close to within 80-100 feet of the house and I have possibly 2 runs of 12G solid romex wire to charge the battery. I have said, twice that the AC voltage would be 117 from the house/grid. Obviously, a max of 20 Amp supply ...

OK. Lets see if I can lay out in detail my thoughts and viewer input requirements. I am nearly finished building a portable band type sawmill. Logs will be softer type wood and only up to 15" diameter at breast height. Logs are from 7' to 15' long. Our previously built sawmill had a 24HP gasoli...

How about we take this bad boy charging to another direction. I have a 120V 30S 4.1v/cell, Chevy Volt battery that I want to use to drive my sawmill that is nearly ready to use. According to what I think I read in this thread, rectifying AC voltage results in a 33% increase of voltage to obtain DC. ...

From another forum, Holland/Netherlands just reached 10,000th Model 3 sold there.
