    Chalo reacted to harrisonpatm's post in the thread World's most efficient wind turbine? with Like Like.
    As far as I can tell, it looks like its a picture of his mold/press/forming contraption, with the in-progress turbine blade inside.

    Chalo replied to the thread KT controller with 52V battery.
    The voltage (max 60V) won't be a problem. However in my observation, KT controllers can vary by more than half a volt when connected to...

    Those headset washer tabs fail more often than not anyway. Don't bother. Use a plain non-tabbed washer or file the tab out of the one...

    Chalo replied to the thread L1019 to JST & Bullet plugs?.
    You'd think so. You can even start with that assumption. But there's no reason that any of the wire colors have to correspond...

    Chalo replied to the thread Battery to motor connection.
    Oh, I just registered that you're talking about the cable directly from the battery. The fact that you have any small wires at all...

    Chalo replied to the thread Battery to motor connection.
    Those are the wires for the Hall sensors that communicate rotor position to the controller. Y/G/B are the Halls for the three phases...

    QS212 1200W might be available cheaper than Leaf (mine was), but the 135mm rear version won't support a multi speed freewheel. Also it...

    Well, it won't have any voltage on it unless +5V and GND are attached to the throttle, and it won't vary unless the throttle is...

    Chalo replied to the thread Front wheel cargo hub advice.
    I find that there's a lot more fiddling to do along the way as pads wear. I tried them first on my own bike in '93 or '94, but soon...

    Okay, first principles: Red is (should be) +5V nominal. Black is (should be) GND, zero V. Green should be a sweep of some kind from...

    Chalo replied to the thread Cheap build opinion.
    I'll put it this way: I've never heard a geared hub that was noisy, unless it was being powered by a noisy controller. Even ones with...
