Interesting perpetual motion machine hoax!
I say "interesting" because it stimulates the idea of creating electricity from sound.

Expressway signs powered by traffic noise?
Screaming babies powering baby monitors or mobiles?
Curses, horns etc. powering slow ebikes.

Cleaning up the garden, 4 nights of frost finished off most everything. Pulled up dead plants and giving the soil a turn, planted a last seeding of radishes. Transplanted (into high tunnel) Hot Peppers, Basil and Lettuce doing great. Plan on clearing a couple more beds of the depleted Tomato plants ...

Important to keep top speed limited in the 20-25kmh range, on an upright trike, (tipping around turns... until you learn to lean your body). I explored several etrike options - eTrike Conversion - as Mobility device! ... ? Budget being my primary concern! Ideas include: Spoke kit mounted gear reduct...

Garden: Mid September coolness coming, possibility of frost forecast for this Saturday. Planning on clearing some of the lesser productive high tunnel Tomato beds and transplanting in some hot Peppers and Herbs. Monarchs: Cooling temps creating fears of Monarchs not storing the energy necessary for ...

... 1st male Monarch!

Monarch #4, 1st male
Males have thinner black lines and 2 distinctive black dots on secondary wings.

Compare Male

to Female

Most all the outside tomato plants are dying, will likely make a final harvest then pull up a majority of the withered plants. Exception are some Cherry Tomato plants and a few with green tomatoes and some healthy green leaves. In stark contrast, inside the high tunnel, there is still a deep green h...

2nd Monarch BF02 (butterfly female #2) emerged and released. Slightly smaller than #1 but more energetic, actually escaped my handling and soared high and far into a stand of Poplars.

Releasing BF01 (butterfly female #1) today. She's revving up her wings since before daybreak. Just waiting for a little sunshine and warmth. Will release into the Family Gardens, which are fairly well overgrown with flowers. She did take a drink of 25% sugar/water. https://endless-sphere.com/forums/...

Monarchs Terrarium is now host to 6 chrysali and 4 additional caterpillars. Just found enhanced info on Monarch life cycles, 8-14 days in chrysalis. Better, 24 hour notification before emergence, chrysalis goes transparent. Monarch Lifecycle 1st emergence 1.jpg 2.jpg Uncaged for clearer picture (pic...

The thing about a front hub motor is throttle at take off. The Currie currently has a 750 watt gear reduction motor. It is a 36V motor. It is a rear chain drive. I have the magic light touch with my right thumb so switch the throttle so the rear is on left for the chain drive. Thumb throttle is OK ...

About 200lbs of Tomatoes this week. Starting to harvest a continuous supply of colored sweet peppers.

Will be pulling up Cucumber beds, leaves are browning up and haven't seen any blossoms in a while. Will plant Lettuce, Radishes, Swiss Chard and ?

2nd Monarch formed chrysalis.

Week #14 Running the Cherry Tomatoes along the rafters ... will need step stool or ladder ... Anticipating 2-3 months of continued growth-production. 01.jpg Set up a terrarium for Monarchs. I have the fear that they were being picked off by birds, so I brought 4 inside for safe keeping. Sorry about ...

... TOMATOSSSSS

Harvested about 60lb Monday and over 100lbs of Tomatoes Friday (160lb+ for the week) ... tied 2018 record, with major harvest still pending.

Unlikely the frame has mounts for disc brakes!

Week #13 Certain crops are winding down, while others are ramping up. Peas, cucumbers and Bush Beans are nearing their end, have pulled up some already and prepping beds for late season crops, Lettuce, Radishes, More Beets etc. Tomatoes looking to fill the baskets, harvested about 40lb Friday, proba...

Having been mentioned, multiple times, I will state that a motors watt rating is the power (watt) output, at specified voltage. While technically the 48v 35a controller could be rated as a 1500w (48v x 35a = 1680w/90% efficiency = 1512w) 1500w output might only be attainable in the 55% efficiency pa...

Another thing you need to notice(?) is that "quick release" wheels run a steel skewer through the center of the hub motor.
Sooo ... you will have to drill a hole through 3/4 of the axle, without hitting the wiring, then squeezing the skewer through without damaging anything.

Should have learned basic bicycle repair before getting involved in electric bikes.
I was doing all my own bike work when I was 10.

I did extensive research on the geographical area of the western NY area around where DA. lives seems kind of nice if there was only a way to get there. Don't you be thinking that life is all peaceful around here! We had a virtual race riot during a BLM demonstration, some people actually yelled at...

Looks like your buddy Timmy was involved in assault and felony assault, in Olean area.

If is a crappy knife ... not a very serious threat!
Nice knife? Consider it a gift ... nice neighbor.

Stop watching conspiracy nuts!
Limit you political intake to Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers or Trevor Noah. Will help you have a much better outlook on life!

Actually ... a motors watt rating is the motors watt output at the rated volts and rpm. Typically it will use (Input) 200%+ watts at full throttle till nearing rated rpm. Input (electrical) watts is divided into output (mechanical) watts and output (thermal) watts. Best power output might require 60...
