    2016 North American "Unofficial" Endless-Sphere Convention

    I'm a little biased, "live in Colorado" but I would vote for Pikes Peak. Colorado, springs is not the greatest place in the world, but they do have Garden of the Gods right there and it is Colorado, lots of mountains. If you plan on doing this anytime before June, the weather can be sketchy...

    Electric heating of a battery and interior

    A Peltier system could definitly work, especially since your outside air is so called it would do a good job of keeping the cool side of the Peltier element cool and allowing the TEC to operate more efficiently. You could theoretically use it to cool in the summer time, but I would not recommend...

    Liquid Cooling MXUS 3000 using a Kit from Linukas

    UPDATE: Well I did finally finish this project early last June, but then had too many other things going on to finish my post about all the trials and tribulations of getting this back together and operational. I drove it all summer and put another 1000 miles on it until about the middle of...

    Anyone here have a Volt?

    Not sure whether you need to subscribe to OnStar for Voltstats to work. When I purchased my car last year GM gave me 3 free years of OnStar so I don't know if it would work without it or not, I would imagine not, but don't quote me. Regarding where you live there are some charging stations...

    Anyone here have a Volt?

    There are three stations that have opened in the last year. Two are run by the City of Golden and I am imagining they get some tax breaks or are looking to better their image by doing this. The third station is at a new apartment complex that was opened last year. I was using this station from...

    Working with Plastics

    I had built a battery enclosure actually two for my bike out of .25" Delrin for the main body of the enclosure and .187" Textured ABS for the Side panels which gives it a finished look, plus doesn't show scratches as easily. To assemble I used a special stainless screw meant for grabbing in...

    Does anyone know what was the outcome of this trip? Doesn't seem like any additional information after week # 5 in Minnesota. Just Curious :? Ed

    Anyone here have a Volt?

    Still loving my 2015. I finally had to refill the gas after 4941 miles. Only cost me $21 to fill the tank and now I am over 6200 miles and only $21 invested in fuel. On top of this, two Charge Point stations have opened up in Golden, CO close to where I work and both of them are completely free...

    Running horn from cycle analyst aux power tap

    I have a small air horn running directly off my battery like teklektik had mentioned early, because as he had mentioned you only need your horn every so often. The air horn draws almost 8 Amps, but it is used for a second or less at a time and is only there in the need of an emergency when...

    Liquid Cooling MXUS 3000 using a Kit from Linukas

    No problem on the pics, I feel I owe it to the community with all the great information I have acquired over the past two years. It has made my building much easier. I am planning on installing only 1 40/30/7 bearing for three reasons. Whether these are good reasons I don't know. 1: Cost of...

    Liquid Cooling MXUS 3000 using a Kit from Linukas

    Latest Update. I received my two new ceramic bearings this week from VXB Bearing in California. I gave the large bearing, axle and the side cover with the brake mount to a machinist today so he can mill the larger opening for the new bearing. Keeping my fingers crossed it turns out well since I...

    Liquid Cooling MXUS 3000 using a Kit from Linukas

    Continuing on my progress from the earlier post. By using the Vacuum flange in the last pic of the last post I was able to push the axle free after getting up close to 5000 psi of pressure. When it finally broke loose it made a cracking sound and then continued to easily slide out the rest of...

    Liquid Cooling MXUS 3000 using a Kit from Linukas

    Hi Crea2k, Thanks for the advice, just curious where you purchased the Kevlar Sheaths, since I will be needing some replacement insulation once I reassemble everything. Thanks, Ed

    Liquid Cooling MXUS 3000 using a Kit from Linukas

    Hey Doc, Don't tell anybody about the vacuum equipment. I run a repair shop at the university, and have a junk pile of miscellaneous old equipment. I hang on to many items in case someone comes to me and wants to build something. I can sometimes pull the parts together without requiring much...

    Liquid Cooling MXUS 3000 using a Kit from Linukas

    I am just continuing where I left off last. The axle can only be pressed out from one direction. When pressing it needs to be securely supported from the opposite side on a small flange that's only a bit larger than the axle itself. The night I did this it had taken me three attempts using 3...

    Liquid Cooling MXUS 3000 using a Kit from Linukas

    Hi Kent, Yes the thermistor does share the same ground as the halls. I actually created a schematic today thinking others may be able to use it in the future and also so I remember how to get it back together. I attached it below. Where each wire from the cable connects is listed in the...

    Liquid Cooling MXUS 3000 using a Kit from Linukas

    Finally had some time to resize my photos and start placing them here with some explanations. Last Thursday evening I was finally able to determine a method that would work to remove the original axle. I will continue here what I had started above so you can see exactly what I have done and...

    Liquid Cooling MXUS 3000 using a Kit from Linukas

    Hey Doc, Thanks for posting your link here I had never seen it, but it gave me some ideas as I was reading through it. One thing though, I just spent an hour reading through it and get to the end and you never actually ran cooling fluid through it?? :? Early in the post your reasoning was in...

    Liquid Cooling MXUS 3000 using a Kit from Linukas

    I looked into using two 7mm wide bearings, but this would actually end up in the Disk brake mounting hole area, it may not hit the bolts but the back of the screw holes, "that hold the disk break to the motor" would be exposed to the face of the bearing. The disk brake threaded holes are 16mm...

    Liquid Cooling MXUS 3000 using a Kit from Linukas

    A few evenings ago I started to disassemble the motor and remove the stator. I used a method that user NeilP had advised me on in an earlier post and it worked very well again with minimal tools. I posted a link here to my earlier post where he had linked to a YouTube video he made...

    Liquid Cooling MXUS 3000 using a Kit from Linukas

    I am in the process of installing an upgraded axle and copper cooling loops that were purchased from user Linukas. This kit is for a VS1 MXUS 3000 motor and will not work in the newer VS2 motor, but you may want to track what Linukas is up to, because he has talked about possibly creating a kit...
