    Converting a MONI motor glider to electric

    Great plans! Can’t wait to see it fly! You may be able to use a Samsung tablet. Good luck!

    Lightweight Reverse Trike With 3 Hub Motors Build

    Hello, I’m planning to build a very lightweight reverse trike with an Alulight aluminum metal foam panel monocoque body/chassis. All three wheels will use Grin single-sided 1000 watt motors, a-arm suspension, with aluminum uprights. I’m using Shimano 4-piston brake calipers, with the Grin...

    Converting a MONI motor glider to electric

    Great topic! Love the Moni! The new Tesla 4680 batteries will be salvageable from wrecked Tesla’s, by the end of 2022 and another battery manufacturer is planning to put a similar lithium battery into production, soon. Salvaged Tesla 4680 batteries should cost less than $100@KWr. That’s very...

    Johammer Electric Motocycle

    A GoPro, with WiFi, rear camera with an iPad Mini screen would eliminate the mirrors. The screen could live stream the speed and position, as well. Maybe connect to the rest of the motor controller.

    Graphene

    Bio-science labs are already building 3-D graphene scaffolding and 3-D printing a heart, using stem cells. And the tissue beats, when jolted with electricity.

    Fukushima melting down?

    http://www.naturalnews.com/049277_Fukushima_disaster_radiation_deaths_thyroid_cancer.html It doesn't take a rocket scientist to find the stats! Either stupidity or a total disregard for the facts!

    TESLA to Plans to Build World’s Biggest Battery Factory!

    I was fortunate, enough, to meet the Tesla battery engineer at a cafe that I frequent. We talked about battery technologies and exchanged cards. Lucky meeting!

    Graphene

    Thinking that the key to making graphene inexpensive will be to use chemical vapor deposition in a new and clever way. It will take more time and money to solve but should be here soon, as many research labs are fast and furiously working on it...

    Thread for new battery breakthrough PR releases

    There are so many legitimate labs working on so many different battery designs. The next 5 years are going to be very interesting with new battery technologies.

    Thread for new battery breakthrough PR releases

    The same was said about nickel metal hydride, lithium ion, lithium iron phosphate, lithium polymer, etc.

    Thread for new battery breakthrough PR releases

    This may be a real game changer in battery powered vehicles! They have tested these batteries and have proven them to be charged and discharged in 12 minutes, charged to the fullest and discharged to the minimum and require no cooling. With practically no internal resistance and no fears of...

    Graphene

    Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley Labs in California have further modified these cells using graphene oxide – a treated version of the very thin carbon layers whose discoverers at the University of Manchester won the Nobel Prize in physics in 2010. The Lawrence Berkeley scientists figured out...

    Veloschmitt

    Andy's Micro Cars has some very good bodies but they are far from a kit. You would need a frame and many other parts to fasten the body to. This is a full size Messerschmitt body, as well. The Veloschmitt is smaller and made as a velomobile with pedals. Anyone that has ever been interested in...

    Veloschmitt

    I'm assuming that the right tires for high speed and the right tread pattern for less noise might be obtainable. You could also laminate some Rubatex foam insulation on the interior body section near the front wheels for sound deadening. I think that fat tires like the Continental Retro tires...

    Veloschmitt

    It's like comparing apples to oranges but your Zenn is a great bargain! Great EV with Leaf batteries. Someone should jump on that deal! I like the pedal option of the Velomobiles. You can take Velomobiles on most bicycle paths.

    Golden Hub Motor

    The only thing that I can find on the Google search for the Pie controller is overvolting that causes the controller to fail. The Pie3 has a cooling fan. Maybe the newer controllers are better cooled?
