    18650 DC arc welder

    Eternal outskirts of Moscow and beyond (LOTS of pics!)

    I enjoy your pictures. No snow here yet even though I am further north than Calgary. As this picture shows from my walk last night, just mild temperatures. If you look close in the center of that picture is a big beaver, nibbling on willows right at the waters edge. He had no fear of me, I got...

    How crazy am I

    Flat tire, I think I have read every (or most) posts on this board since joining, but I am a infant in my understanding of much that I read, like "flux weakening" Though I will keep reading on and some things will sink in. For the record, I did take the advice of those more experienced, and only...

    A portable gasoline generator for long range

    Skorohod, Those road conditions, or lack off, look like they would really put a bike to the test. Even at 50km a hour 350km in a day is way more hours on a bike seat than my spine could take.

    Baked my own, experimental NO FAT CHIPS - Horizontal bread/rolls and crunchy snacks pg 2

    Very interesting, I just may try that. I have been using a meat slicer to evenly thin cut potato's, spread them out on a paper plate, or better yes a plastic net, place in the microwave and cook. You have to watch each plate as the window of time from just right to burnt as a crisp is measured...

    Inverter recommendations? 48V sine wave, no grid tie

    Bafang Motor Numbering

    I have been trying to learn more about the motor I have on my bike. Being that this motor is on a manufactured bike from what I have been able to learn it looks like the wattage is not part of the numbering system like it is on some examples of Bafang motors. I suspect this is so the OEM can...
