    Can one shift a (sine) wave up or down like on osciloscope?

    I've considered using two electrodes to form one combination arc. One for AC and the other for DC. Position the two rods at 35 degrees from each other, and position the rods so they focus about 3/16" away from their tips. Grind to an angle, not like a pencil tip, then place so grinds help point...

    Can one shift a (sine) wave up or down like on osciloscope?

    Great! And perhaps some DC could be a good thing mixed in with the AC, saw a show where they tig welded aluminum with DC using helium instead of argon, but the recommended method is argon w/high frequency AC at 70/30 (neg/pos) "AC balance". I want the option to weld aluminum (& magnesium) on AC...

    Can one shift a (sine) wave up or down like on osciloscope?

    I'm about to do some experimenting with a portable camping economy welding device from an additional alternator. Concerning an analogue sinusoidal waveform, in this case from an automotive style alternator (but 24v). Can those waveforms from the three windings be "moved" up or down so that the...

    Drymer near production?

    Cool design, especially like tilt's-like-a-bike. I would also like to see a larger standard motor.

    Wow, Amberwolf rocks! Looks like a cool topic too, I wanna see how good the motor ends up. I didn't know a person can know that much about motors and controllers.

    Full-Suspension Longtail 2.0

    Very cool looking bike!!! How do you like the full suspension and ride?

    I also figure all their reverse trikes (tadpole) are leaning as you noted, the front suspension is quite similar to the other one that clearly all-wheel leans. They showed a video of that one trike leaning, but to my knowledge have released NOTHING about these other trikes leaning (text, pics...

    Good point, it seems that the tilting effect may be compromised if the sprung suspension force is too great. They have a rugged model that is NOT in stock, but they say should arrive in 2-3 weeks. The sales rep text me saying that it TILTS! He thought it might be around 3' wide. A bit wide for...

    non-hub mountain ebike kit or custom builder

    Each front tire has huge suspension travel and there are no rear tires to keep the new trike upright anymore. I'm assuming both are essentially a 4 bar parallelogram mechanism. Maybe that's the source of our different perspectives. Maybe I'm not being graphic enough. I'm going to need to make a...

    non-hub mountain ebike kit or custom builder

    I could be mistaken, but I find the pic quite clear that it's all wheel lean and looking similar to the front end of most any quad ATV, which I believe is essentially a 4 bar (parallelogram) mechanism. Usually there is one 4-bar mechanism for each wheel to additionally provide independent...

    I've been gone from here for a while busy looking for housing. Here's a cool looking "leaning" trike I recently found. (I mistakenly said, "The company/distributor is out of Pennsylvania!" But I cant find the website link so I withdraw the Pennsylvania comment.) $1,719 And here's a rear...

    Update Im house shopping on a meager budget and so far it's been slow and frustrating. On the back burner, I also have a leaning trike (standard and recumbent seating) project I'd like to build, but finding a new home is the main priority (real-estate and transportation). I prefer moped over...

    Optibike (12 Grand!!!) is waay tooo expensive. :shock: The more I think about it, I could wait for Thud to do my build. Can't wait to get a new to me pc as mine has been broke for the last three months, wont boot... Then I'll do up some drawings, but thats probably a couple weeks away.

    non-hub mountain ebike kit or custom builder

    Thanks Thud, I appreciate it. I have doubts that I could wait that long as I don't have transportation yet, but it might work out, hard to say right now. I wonder if they make gear reduction transmissions like for scooters and such that might reasonably be re-purposed to work on a bike?

    Also.. I've been kicking around an idea for a simple two speed (hi/low) pulley drive system by simply installing 'large' but different sized drive pulleys attached to each side of the rear wheel (so that it just clears the rear break system and the frame members), plus using a two sided drive...

    I psyched because I recently came into some money, so now I'm seriously ready to get my first ebike going! Seeking suggestions for a non-hub e-bike kit (good/solid quality) or reasonable priced ebike builder (Im @ central Michigan) for an all-terrain/mountain bike I don't have a workshop...

    queastion over battery "amp hours" and controller "amps"

    Anyone have comments over the following motor? So far, it seems this is the cheapest brushless I've seen in it's ratings. I'm concerned about weight as I have a bad back and want to keep the weight as low as possible without spending waaay more. :roll...

    I am also interested in this pursuit. Don't give up, hopefully someone will chime in with something. I'm interested in living in the south and west in USA, like Ca or Co maybe, but I'm open to suggestions. I heard about a place I assume was in the west, seemed like somewhat of a desert area and...

    dogman Sounds like a great deal, much appreciated. In the for sale section, McDesign has some salvage/discount 24V motors for sale and 22amp controllers for cheap in the following thread. http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=20921 but I haven't really scanned much for deals yet...

    queastion over battery "amp hours" and controller "amps"

    Ya, I'll be looking for better batts. For now, and for security reasons, if I must accept the motor or the batteries to be cheaper and heavier, I'm thinking heavier motor so that I can have the option to detach the smaller/lighter batteries and take with. I figure a couple hip packs should do...

    queastion over battery "amp hours" and controller "amps"

    Ya, lifting my bike in and out of the bike rack so much the last month is probably what's been giving me recent arthritic back problems, so I haven't been riding as much lately. Less and lighter batteries, and hopefully not a heavy motor and controller so that occasional bus/bike trips wont...

    queastion over battery "amp hours" and controller "amps"

    What if any used items should I be looking for, like in craigslist/ebay/local paper, etc? I will also be looking for deals here on this forum, and any other forums that might have deals for sale. My next power assisted transpo project (narrow leaning recumbent trike) sorta seems like a pipe...

    queastion over battery "amp hours" and controller "amps"

    dogman, I really appreciate the quick response and helpful advice! I am receptive to using a trailer, however concerning stealth and security, I'd rather have a smaller lighter battery pack so I could unplug it and take with, keeping the batteries warmer and "safer". But a trailer would be...
