I've driven a Harley trike, and I used to own a Can-Am Spyder trike. The Spyder was superior to the Harley in nearly every way. Harley's front wheel contact patch is only a little bigger than a postage stamp, and I think that's just not enough for the size and weight of the vehicle, especially while...

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, ...

They're selling the first 50 for 2000 euros (about USD$2250) then they're hoping to get north of USD$50K each. Cool looking frame, and less than 80 pounds. I admit I was tempted at $2250, but after taking a closer look... It's supposed to have a top speed of 49MPH... offroad motorcycle tire on the ...

How about a custom paint job with lightning bolts across the front quarter panels, instead of flames?

Leafs really are the modder's car. No matter what you do to it, it's gonna look better than how it looked rolling out of the factory. I keed, I keed. I'm only in this thread 'cause I'm one of the fifteen thousand people Linkedin slurped from your Google contact list, methods.

Alright, so English being tightwads and capitalists recognized a domestic market, but right away began to reduce the hops and screw with the marketing aspects, until what we have today is several English Pale Ales called “India Ales” when they ARE NOT. The profile of an IPA, regardless of whether w...

Insulin ;) :D When I'm watching my diet more closely (I haven't been, lately) I try to keep my carbohydrate intake matched up with how much exercise I'm getting. Lots of exercise means I get to refuel with lots of carbohydrates, though I still try to keep 'em under 40% of total calories. After a lo...

I have to recommend P90X, for a few reasons. 1) Because they're well balanced, and even the days like Kempo and stretching, which don't seem to make sense because they are too easy, make sense because they keep your body in the right conditioning of workout-rest-workout-rest. 2) I think as cheesy a...

According to the latest research, stop sugar intake (including any processed food, with lots of corn syrup), drastically reduce hydrocarbon intake, increase fat intake. That's all. And it comes with greatly reduced risk of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and probably Alzheimer. Makes sense that dr...

Speaking of abs, how does one get them firm? I don't want to do the wrong exercises. I don't really care about legs; I just want strong arms and tight abs. The arms I'm working on. I'm not going for size so much as strength and definition in the arms, and in the abs as well. It's better to aim for ...

Hey Link, welcome back. Michael (KnightMB) sold the forum to someone nobody heard of. This poor sucker introduced himself, said he was planning on making some changes and improvements (software, hardware, bandwidth upgrades, etc.) and paying for them with banner ads. Many of the people who had spent...

I stopped at the Wasatch brewpub the summer before last on a road trip to Yellowstone. The waitresses were wearing some funny T-shirts:
"I tried Polygamy in Salt Lake City"
"First wife"
"Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy"

Whoa, that article is appropriately titled. Bitcoins are down 80% vs USD since August, with an $0.18 spread: bid 2.41, ask 2.59, according to http://bitcoincharts.com/
Ouch.

Bottom line, education gives you more options , and more security, in a very uncertain future. Stick with it. Invest 4 years of your time, into quality of life for the rest of your life. -JD Absolutely. Having more options means more freedom. While you're studying, sometimes you crave having the fr...

I've charged at 10A through a V1 signalab bms with no problems, after replacing the charge fet with an IRFB4110.

How's your soldering? PM me your address and I'll mail you one.

Cracking it could be done by any entity that can either muster enough computing power to outperform all the rest of the network for a short period of time (unlikely, but nonetheless possible) If you had more power than the whole rest of the system (given the number of server farms chomping on it, t...

Another thread that may be interesting it to run the trap line of who owned the servers that knightmb admitted to buying that had hidden in them a wallet with 371,000 BTC. They might be interested in litigation about that purchase. The original company might have been Dynamic Network Services Inc. ...

I'm having a difficult time finding data on how much CO2 and CO has been expelled (roughly) from the major volcanoes. Off the top of my head I can name Mt St Helens, Pinatubo, Krakatoa, Mt Vesuvius...and apparently they weren't even the biggest ones in history: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_...

Gary,
Do you want a few bucks to defray the costs of the test run?

Well, it's hard to dispute your point. Other than to say, i would rather see batteries explode 50% of the time rather than 100% of the time. But now my view is mixed because dude... an entire town could be huffing this stuff.. Some recycling companies have an even better than 50% track record for p...

Oh, OK! Sign me up, then.

I would be interested in testing this, if I can use it for a 66V Lipo pack and if the parts cost isn't too high. I already bought three CellLogs, intending to plug in one 6S4P pack into each. Presumably with this setup I'd only populate the first 18 channels of the board, use all 8 channels of the f...

Well i don't know how most people one here shop for there batteries but when you have a bad reputation that's like a scar that never fully heals i would try a battery pack but reading reviews and other sort about Evassemble made me not even buy from the even though they have good price but when it ...

We demonstrate a new method for the direct conversion of heat to electricity using the recently discovered multiferroic alloy, Ni45Co5Mn40Sn101. This alloy undergoes a low hysteresis, reversible martensitic phase transformation from a nonmagnetic martensite phase to a strongly ferromagnetic austeni...
