Alrighty, as the title indicates, the purpose of this threat thread is to just kind of have a space to think out loud and demonstrate things that I've done that may, or may not be directly related to e-bikes.
A little background on me, I grew up on one of the largest wheat and potato farms in southern Idaho.
I've never been to public school/college my whole life, my school was going to work everyday with my dad on the farm and learning how operate machinery and fix things.
Also, my philosophy is school=life, never stop learning.
I pretty much had a full-time paid job by the time I was age 7 or so, learned to drive a flatbed 18-wheeler with liquid fertilizer at around age 11.
I think I learned to read around age 6-7, and my parents definitely favored home-schooling.
We had a rather large book library at home, I'd estimate ~5000 books or so, 4 different sets of encyclopedias, and other books ranging from McGuffy reader primer books, to advanced calculus(which I tried to read at the time, and did not understand)
Once I learned to read, I spent an inordinate amount of time reading and re-reading the encyclopedias, and any other books that caught my interest, it was like the internet before there was an internet.
I was particularly interested in electricity and physics, it just blew my mind(as a 7-12yo) that for the past ~200 years(and more), there were people studying things like electricity, magnetism, nuclear physics, etc, etc.
And I could just go learn about these things by picking a book off the shelf.
I built a spark-gap tesla coil when i was 13, after my parents brought home some books about Nikola Tesla, and plans to build a coil.
That's it for now, I will be adding many ramblings and pictures.
I would also like to add that this is meant to be an inspirational thread, as in, knowledge is great and all if you use it for yourself, but knowledge is only valuable if it shared.
