I'm a big fan of [[Li]]-ion and polymer batteries, both Li-ion and Li-polymer, which are related and have the similar chemistry characteristics, like [[Ni]]MH and NiCD.  [[PbA]] are the heaviest and least energy dense but can easily deliver power and are cheap to produce,  they are also one of the most recycled of products.  Ni has better energy and weight characteristics though Li is as much again better representing the greatest of battery chemical potentials.  Li has only lately been able of delivering great power and long life, since current mass production cost is more economical than you might think it could now deliver the potential promise of the electric vehicle better than can sometimes be imagined.

Revision as of 20:02, 11 April 2006

This is my User Page and as with most things is a work in progress, enjoy! Moments ago it was 2024/03/28 11:51UTC. I also have a page at the Wikipedia

I'm a big fan of Li-ion and polymer batteries, both Li-ion and Li-polymer, which are related and have the similar chemistry characteristics, like NiMH and NiCD. PbA are the heaviest and least energy dense but can easily deliver power and are cheap to produce, they are also one of the most recycled of products. Ni has better energy and weight characteristics though Li is as much again better representing the greatest of battery chemical potentials. Li has only lately been able of delivering great power and long life, since current mass production cost is more economical than you might think it could now deliver the potential promise of the electric vehicle better than can sometimes be imagined.

While modern motor controllers delivered consumer level control quality and power I also appreciate the simplicity of fully mechanical contactor controller designes similar to a non-computerized carborated pre 19?? gassoline car.

Lightning the 2000 Honda Insight

The Honda Insight is an outstanding machine, one of few close relatives of the NSX having grown up in the same factory. All Aluminum with 10kW of torque-ie electric and an ICE so optimized it even had it's own 0w20 oil. It still sports the best aerodynamics, fuel economy, and is an all arround fun drivers kind of car.

Blue the 2005 Toyota Prius

I purchased a new 2005 Toyota Prius on the same day Toyota agreed to sell their Toyota RAV4 EVs, July 14th 2005!

500 Watt Tiger Scooter

A 24v electric scooter, with detachable seat and storage. It has a Lithium-Ion pack which delivers 10 miles of range.

Radio Controled

Various small vehicles.

Submarine

I build a Li-ion battery pack for a submarine replacing three disposable (AA) cells with a pair of small rectaingular cells. One pack was wired in parallel with stock voltage and had rather lacking performance, as it did out of the box with duracells. A second pack was wired in series and with twice the voltage running the propulsion motors which then ran twice as fast the fun facter was substantially improved.

Aircraft

Broke the trainer and haven't got a real plane yet, the "Air Surfer" is a fun and durable nurf type glider which delivers good entertainment and fly time with a proper smart hobby type battery charger.
