    Will i have too little current for weld ?

    Ok so if it releases so much energy as you've seen in the video, will nine 100v 10 000 uf capacitors in parralel not produce enough discharge on a 12v charge ? How about if i charge it to 24 or 48v ?

    Will i have too little current for weld ?

    I hear what you say. I want to use a solenoid with a switch connected to the cap bank i mentioned above. I know a solenoid setup is not the best solution but its what i can get locally.

    Will i have too little current for weld ?

    OK i want to believe what you saying but why does this guy's setup work with normal caps ?

    Will i have too little current for weld ?

    Ok this is a parralel connection yes ? The spotwelds seem a bit overpowered but it obviously does work. All want to know is if i put a 150 amp starter solenoid on my 9 cap 100v 10 000uf cap bank with a switch using a 12v psu to charge the bank. Will my welds be better than the above link.

    Will i have too little current for weld ?

    So what does this mean the capacitor bank i have is too weak ? I have seen capacitors this size melt nuts together... i just need to spot weld 18650s. How should i configure the cap bank then ?

    Will i have too little current for weld ?

    Hi guys. I want to build a spot welder such as this I want to replace the battery with a 12v PSU and capacitor bank. i need some help. I have 9 10000 uf capacitors connected in parallel connected to a 1000 ohm resistor . If i charge it with a 12v 67 amp power supply. Will the discharge be...

    Affordable and fast possible ?

    Thanks deffx, at the moment i'm thinking the same, however won't be able to afford both, so might go the motorbike route thx. But still would like an e-bike, so perhaps do one as a long term goal as you say. Just going to take much longer... :(

    Affordable and fast possible ?

    Thank you both for the info, i think i'm going to take some time and think thoroughly about whether i should do this or go with a motorbike, the link to the dropouts thanks, that might be a good option, i was wondering if the bike will handle much different with a powersystem than without, so...

    Affordable and fast possible ?

    Awesome, thanks Wes :D Should i go ahead, i will definitely use the cheaper packs ! :D If anyone can comment wrt to my other questions regarding the frame ? I take it the esc is included, is this a brushed or brushless motor ? (2nd link) i would think brushless would be the way to go... ?

    Affordable and fast possible ?

    Thanks Dogman and Wes. The look on people's faces when i pass by at speed.. lol... Especially in south africa, no one knows about these things here... it will be like holy...shhhzz check this bloke... ! lol... man this is tempting... i should've never asked this question look now at the options...

    Affordable and fast possible ?

    lol.... :D you cracking me up here.... (...i can't even pay for the ambulance ride...doh..) Well from your reply i guess 65 km/h would probably look like the better choice. Agreed doing these kind of speeds in traffic is stoopid. I just like to have the extra power/speed. I'm thinking...

    I'm a Noob and I Wanna Go 50MPH

    Heck i wouldn't even try to turn at those speeds on an mtb, nevermind taking it on a track to race ! ! !

    I'm a Noob and I Wanna Go 50MPH

    I see a lot of arguing going on in this thread, how about just some pictures of the bikes built that can go 50 mph + I say if you can't handle a bike over 30 mph then don't post saying it can't or should not be done, because it has been done and obviously should be done by those who is overly...

    2 Wheel Drive electric bike prototype

    Wow that sounds awesome, do you have a picture of the bike ?

    Affordable and fast possible ?

    Hi everyone, i'm new here and would like to know if affordable and fast can be put into the same sentence with regards to building an E-bike ? Just to mention i have a cycling background and am used to going fast, however for an e-bike i would only occasionally want to go to 80 km/h Can anyone...
