Endless Sphere

FWIW, I received the 21700 cells I bought from tonycu41. I didn't have much of time today to fool with them, but I did a manage to perform a brief sampling with one cell. As received 3.62V, I charged it to 4.10V @ 750mA then waited 30 min before loading it. After one hour loading at 1.25A, it measur...

The listing itself has no mention of tesla at all, what do you think?

This one does (same seller): https://tinyurl.com/yyfftcma
He also states they originally came from a "pack"

I purchased a few 21700 cells from ebay seller tonycu41 https://tinyurl.com/y3yqexaz Not received them yet. Stated they are new from an unused 'pack', one year old. It's doubtful they came from a genuine Model 3 pack because the model 3 cells i've seen have a bare metal shell & recessed positive ter...

For a given height of center of gravity and a given track at the paired wheels, a tadpole will always have better emergency handling(combination heavy breaking and sudden turn) than a delta. With double the contact patch at the braking loaded end, and the braking force vector will usually stay betw...

... Is there any tool packs containing Lifepo4 like the older DeWalt?

My 40v Ryobi's apparently cannot be.

I sure wouldn't go for the above seat steering option, though. I've had a chance to compare above and under steering on the same bicycle, and I found that my back and rear are less tense when my arms are down, so I sit more comfortably in the seat. The above seat steering mast was somewhat in the w...

I'm talking about her having to stretch her legs out to pedal, mainly,... That was never mentioned in your previous post. Reads to me you're biased, and apparently anti-recumbent. I've well over 25 years experience (both building and riding), specifically recumbents. And it all started with a serio...

.... At best, it would be hard for her to get on and off the bike. Clearly you've never ridden one, let alone, owned one. Nor, I suspect, even know what the extent of her abilities are. The seat height on the Hase Trigo, is, what I refer to as, 'kitchen chair' height - about 18-20". The following v...

... My sister told me she wanted to invest a substantial amount (2500-5000$ is the budget) so I understand she want a relatively good quality and durable product. She said she was looking either for an e-trike or even a powered mobility device (which go for around 6000$). If she is serious about sp...

The transformation begins...

I purchased the Sun USX from a mid-80's senior lady some 4 weeks ago.

ditto - I would "delete" this post,... but can't

Would a Mod please LOCK this thread.

If he's ok always being under 12mph or so, delta would work. Regular periods of higher speeds tadpole would be better probably. Some people just don't 'get it'... no matter how much you try to explain, draw graphs, post images, link videos... or use a frigging hammer! The word "DELTA" does NOT auto...

And lastly... the deeper you go in the following 3min video... the sweeter it gets:

In 2009 (or thereabouts), Randy Schlitter, (the Owner and aircraft design wizard of RANS), brazenly exploited the possibilities of the Delta platform - then proceeded to mass produced it. Make NO mistake, when the pilot's seat is properly positioned and anchored... the number of wheels behind you, o...

About 40 years ago I rode a friend’s harley three wheeler and immediately decided that delta trikes are awfully. It was unbelievably bad at corners. You had to literally fight it around corners. A friend is in the process of designing a delta trike and before I tell him it is a bad idea i thought I...

Should be at least 45A+ @ 48V. Sources?

Yes, inverter has a small muffin fan, but is thermally controlled so it doesn't run on anything but extended, max amps. The space heater has two settings - 800W and 400W. The inverter doesn't like either.

Way late to the party... I see. I'm on a 48Vdc solar powered FLA bank on my RV. Five 100W Grape PVs in series (115Vdc Voc) - Plan to parallel 5 more of same. Victron 150-35 MPPT controller (150Vdc/35A). set to charge 48V FLA bank. Victron Phoenix 1200-48 pure sine wave inverter (1200W/48Vdc). The pr...

BMSbattery has the 500W Q128 fronts and the 800W Q128H rear. Does such an animal exist?

Sorry for the late update - way too much on my plate now:( . Amber, Batteries are connected and charged serially with only a single 50v connection off the end batteries. I would much prefer a li-ion bank, but that purchase needs to wait until next summer. Battery & controller temperature is 75f. SG ...

I have 10 100w PV's charging four, series connected 12v, 114Ah batteries. I'm using a Victron 150/35 controller set at 48v. The batteries are less than 4 months old and ALL purchased NEW at the same time (two even have sequential serial #'s). Problem is.... the center two batteries (#2 and #3) are c...

I'm not using ATF. And second,... I installed axle seals. As expected, I don't have leakage. Maybe I missed it up thread, but what are you using instead of ATF? And are the axle seals really neccesary? If so, can you show a picture or a part number? I'm really interested in your approach and result...
