    Elevator to space?

    Well, why not build it at one of the earth's poles, so that it isn't moving at 17,000 miles per hour. And how about using readily available material to create a tower, which would reach way up there? Oh yeah, the material would be seawater, frozen in massive layers, one on top of the other...

    Forget it, I'm done!

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm assuming that you're referring to the Zero packs. Here's a link to the Spec page for the 2012 models. I'm also assuming that these new offerings will have the NMC packs. http://www.zeromotorcycles.com/zero-ds/specs.php Incredible mileage to 80% capacity...

    Forget it, I'm done!

    Went to the Zero motorcycle site and they sell their Li Ion battery with charger for $2,995.99 which fits two of their motorcycles. Could'nt find any spec info on the site for the battery though. http://www.zeromotorcycles.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2&products_id=10 Gary

    A123 20AH cells source?

    A123 20AH cells source?

    If you look at the page under "Descripiton", you will see this which makes me a bit suspicious "The 20Ah use the new HD electrode design, offering even higher capacity than the traditional ANR26650M1 design." http://a123rc.com/goods-468-Excitingly+Powerful+A+123+20ah+PRISMATIC+CELLS.html I...

    LI-ion NiCoMn Battery from BMSBattery

    An ES member itselectric sells NiCoMn batteries, but I've never been able to locate detailed pack/cell specifications on his site http://us.itselectric.ca/LiFePO4_ebike_Li_Ni_Mn_Co_02_NiCd_NiMH_Phosphate_s/48.htm I don't know if they are the same cells as bmsbatttey uses or if the cells he...

    LI-ion NiCoMn Battery from BMSBattery

    Mystery to be solved here, because the 48V 10ah battery has a 2c continuous rating http://www.bmsbattery.com/48v/166-48v-10ah-lithium-ion-electric-bicycle-battery-pack.html Do you suppose the batteries are 2c (or more) capable, but they're using the same stupid one version fits all BMS on the...

    Battery Packs - Where to buy them

    Welcome to ES guys. The batteries at joyfay.com appear to be Codd Power Soft Series batteries http://www.coddpower.com/pack-16s.html It also seems that there has been some difficulty buying directly from Codd Power, although one ES member was able to find a price list on their site, which shows...

    Would you trade your 10K bike for the stealth bomber?

    Someone I knew got back to me and said that they always remember a "rule of thumb" I gave them. If you spend a lot of time sleeping, then buy a nice bed. If you like to cook a lot, then buy nice cookware and outfit your kitchen. If you watch a lot of TV then buy a great TV. Way too many...

    I'm probably overlooking something obvious, but I see 28 teeth on the right planetary gear and I think I see 36 teeth on the left one in the photo??? Is this one not compatable? Gary

    Fort Collins e-bike rider collides with Expedition

    Well, it looks to me like there's a lot of factors that go into determining if a helmet is necessary or advisable. Know thyself, seems appropriate in assessing the risks involved! Some people have a little black cloud that follows them around and you just know that something bad is going to...

    Fort Collins e-bike rider collides with Expedition

    Ouch! ... Helmets offer big protection, not small ... once an accident occurs! Yes, pretend that you don't have a helmet on and stay super alert, but don't kid yourself, once in an accident they significantly reduce head injury. It's not small protection when that happens ... it's big...

    Fort Collins e-bike rider collides with Expedition

    Ok, I get it now. The key phrase is "overall safety". When wearing a helmet, due to distractions, or the senses being diminished, and other environmental/social factors, the risk of being in an accident increases. However once in an accident the risk of head injury increases, and therefore...

    Fort Collins e-bike rider collides with Expedition

    There are worse things in life than getting your head ripped off due to a helmet. Try going into a long-term care facility and see head injury victims. Imagine laying in a bed for over 20 years, unable to move, or communicate. You've had a feeding tube inserted into your stomach because you...

    Batteries that last 20 years.

    Yeah, I want more than a 20 year lifespan outta them. They should be biodegradeable. In fact, they must be really light ... (less then 100 calories each and completely edible). Gary

    Lithium Batteries Shipping Rules Discussions

    Thanks for the clarification Lock. I only read the text from the Batteries page which reads as follows "Please note that due to recent changes in transport regulations governing lithium batteries, we are no longer able to ship battery orders, so they are for local pickup orders only." Gary

    A Summary Letter for the ES Community

    Justin, Thank you, you may not even be aware of how your manner and good stance spread out amongst others. I got a deal from someone who has known you in your life and was "paying it forward" and doing the honourable thing, when he could have gone back on his word. The item I got, in that...

    A Summary Letter for the ES Community

    The person with the idea first shouldn't get the patent ... why not? Just so the lawyers don't get the money or it cuts down on litigation? Seems like cut off nose to spite face. Gee ... file first, why not? Sounds fair to me ... that it's not the person who perhaps originated and possibly...

    MIT Battery Development

    And all this time, because of things I read on E.S., I thought that A123 was being left behind in the dust. Who woulda thought that they have this ingenious diabolical scheme up their sleeves! Imagine that! A system of delivery which will eventually use the present infrastructure of deliver...

    [nearly original] An update on what I know from my end

    Here's a poem that I think captures the struggle of the last few days. I admire all who put themselves on the line for what they truly believe in. A Poem By Rudyard Kipling - IF If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself...
