Revision as of 07:04, 17 September 2005

This is my User Page and as with most things is a work in progress, enjoy! Moments ago it was 2024/04/30 05:21UTC. I also have a user page at the Wikipedia

I'm a big fan of Li 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

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 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 ride.

Blue the 2005 Toyota Prius

It just so happens that I purchased a new 2005 Prius on the same day Toyota agreed to sell their RAV4 EVs, July 14th 2005! Visit John1701.com and vfaq.net are great sites with lots of great Prius information, there's also a local Toyota Prius page.

500 Watt Tiger Scooter

A 24v electric scooter, with detachable seat and storage. I've got a Lithium-Ion back which delivers 10

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.
