Re: Delta trikes vs tadpole trikes
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...

Re: Delta trikes vs tadpole trikes
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, ...

Re: its an Airbus H R Giger Ebike
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 ...

Re: First time drink IPA beer

Re: What do you do to get fit and lose weight?
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 ...

I stopped at the Wasatch brewpub the summer before last on a road trip to Yellowstone. The waitresses were wearing some funny T-shirts:

"First wife"

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...

New method for converting heat to electricity
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...
