    3D Printed E-car

    We need to keep an open mind of the possibilities, and not dogmatically reject new ideas, out of hand. Just because someone totally failed in a past try simply means one iteration of the idea didn't work. There's always inspiration for some other genius in every effort.

    Forever running magnet motor?

    If a magnetic motor could be build, would your deathbike, SR, and Palatov have any value?

    Perhaps a Magnetic Motor Build ES thread might satisfy you?

    Forever running magnet motor?

    Yes. They all seem to be promulgating a common disconnect between mechanical work and magnetic work.

    Forever running magnet motor?

    It only looks like "infinite" energy, because of the manner in which the current through the coils interact with the magnets. Your ears will feel much better, if you divorce the resultant "perpetual" mechanical motion from the coil/magnet interaction. I've actually seen the motor work, in...

    Forever running magnet motor?

    Uh, Magnic Light uses eddy currents, to power the light. Magnetic motors work on the same principle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJ23gmS3KHY The magnetic motor actually uses a small electrical source to get the magnets to rotate past the coils. The inventor, Yildiz, has not master a...

    Haibike crazy price

    Totally agree. Spandex seems to be cutting off circulation on the $5,000 American bike snob crowd. Since Greg LeMond, they seem to be all about weaponry. It's all about the race, which is not even all that, considering all the doping. Good grief, USAC is even doing amateur dope control...

    Bafang BBS02 Buying Experience

    I can't tell if EM3ev offers LFP or NMC. So, I'm assuming LFP. I am a bit curious to splurge on NMC for the power/range, in exchange for life cycle. With fast moving technology, changing every six months, long life cycle maybe irrelevant? Being new to the whole EV landscape, it seems to...

    Bafang BBS02 Buying Experience

    The price difference between 250W BBS01 and 750W BBS02 is minimal. The 48V LiNMC price is not much more than 36V LFP. Yes, I am only interested in an urban on-pavement, car-replacement commuter, capable of towing a load of up to 400 lbs. The velomobile version of Juiced Rider. I've only had...

    Bike Friendly City?

    For those of us who believe all roadways are bike lanes, the League of American Bicyclists has NO credibility. Their bike-friendly designation is totally WORTHLESS. They seem to be prioritizing clueless new cyclists to roll in motorists' blind spot with all their ridiculous dribble about bike...
