    Dual rear wheel fabrication

    @boostjuice - Wow, then I could ski down the lake to the pub. Check my setlines on the way, put em in a smoker, eatem on the way back. Mmmm, Hot rums and fresh smoked Kokanee and whitefish. Those are some machines, I want one. That's a case where wider is gooder. Hmm, now i'm hypotensisizing...

    Dual rear wheel fabrication

    Thanks for the replies @MattyCiii, [[ > Given that trucks don't lean into corners like bikes do, the increase in capacity from two rear wheels won't likely be a good trade off to the strange handling.]] I can't drive my civic anymore because of my eyes. I can however still handle a...

    Dual rear wheel fabrication

    Hi Folks I have a heavy framed bike (out in the snow) that I wish to power with a Non-hub Motor, mid Drive. It would be entirely possible for me to stretch the rear "forks" wide enough to take 2 wheels instead of one. A dually. to take more weight. I have never seen such a thing, but why...

    JM Energy Introduces Lithium-ion Capacitor

    Is this something you are going to keep monitoring for us, Safe? I guess if it does fly we won't be able to avoid hearing about its virtues. It sounds down on the farm practical to me. douglas

    Advanced Capacitor Theory

    Safe Now you have me all retrospectivly pensive verging on offensivly defensive. I have a 2 man post pounder made of 1/2" steel. sort of like a cannon closed at one end. It rings like it's pretty skookum stuff too. Think thats adequate to contain the beast? Prior postings regarding the more...

    Advanced Capacitor Theory

    Aw poop. You're right, there is a small micron sign before the farrad. In any case I used 2 pencil leads as electrodes to discharge one, (and a lot of rubber) and got one whack of an arc out of it. This is after the thing sat idle on my porch for 6 months, and for who knows how long before I...

    Advanced Capacitor Theory

    So, I have collected 11, 2100VDC, 0.91 faraday Capacitors, and 2 unmarked ones from old dumpscore microwaves, . I have 12 more microwaves to dismantle still. (The Caps. are hard to get out. I managed to short them out safely as per ""...
