http://www.wiley.com//legacy/wileychi/electricvehicle2e/ I read the first edition of this book, and it was amazing. I would HIGHLY recommend it. The first edition of the book can be found for free online, but i would recommend buying the new edition.

Any news? pictures?

Awesome, can't wait to try this! Right now I have more ideas than money. Hopefully that will all change.

Got a job as a machinist today. Not as high paying as most engineering jobs, but at least I'll be doing something interesting.

In this book, ftp://myebooks.dyndns.org/physics/energy/Electric%20Vehicle%20Technology%20Explained%20(2003).pdf it gives an equation used to model the open circuit voltage of a NiCad battery. I would like to make a graph similar to this one: http://www.thunderpowerrc.com/html/extreme-V2.html...

I just found a great textbook about electric vehicle technology. It's the first edition, the 2nd just came out and is probably even better. It's called Electric Vehicle Technology Explained. ftp://myebooks.dyndns.org/physics/energy/Electric%20Vehicle%20Technology%20Explained%20(2003).pdf The pdf...

beautiful day out in Binghamton for once! Showing off "light weight" design. Havent gotten a chance to weigh it yet, but it feels like its about 45-50lbs. Still needs a lot of work.

I was thinking about what point of the vehicle would be the weakest link when increasing power. I think first, my battery capacity is way too small to supply that much power for any great length of time. Second, I will fry my 2 stock front disk breaks. After that, who knows. The motor temps...

started reading a lot about water cooling. There is tons of info out there. The only commercial product for RC cars that i could find was tcs http://www.tcscooling.com/order.html It is really small and probably couldn't handle very much heat at all. The design isn't perfect and there is not...

I have only just begun to drive my trike and i decided it needs more power. I started looking into additional cooling. It is a astro 3220 with a fan and open case. The Davinci Drive is aluminum and also absorbes and dissipates heat. So far i have only been running low power, 1000W and the motor...

Hey pdf, I agree, my vehicle is not very practical because it is not road legal. I know the risks involved in driving it on the road. I have put a lot of thought into the P3 project, and have been asking every younger engineer i know if they would be interested in being involved. If i was to...

Would it be possible to get this registered as a motorcycle for street use? In NY, i think it would need DOT approved wheels and VIN numbers for most parts. 2 motors is F'in crazy. I hope to one day be as insane as you.

Roll cage is complete, just needs to be put on the vehicle. Fairing is not done. The fairing will cover all of the wires, and electronics. There is a picture of me using the cheap accucell 6 chargers 2 at a time with a power supply found in the lab. If anyone played the game Halo back in the...

I dont have a camera with me now, but ill take some as soon as i can. Drove it home today from campus, about 5 miles. It is way faster than by car! The best part is i can park it in the senior lab for charging, right in the center of campus. Beats searching around for a parking spot. On campus...
