I noticed your "paper dolls". FWIW: I checked at Staples (Nashville) and they'll print a D-Size (any size) drawing @ 50 cents/sq.ft. one color, regardless of...
I really like the CAD/PAM process (Paper Aided Machining) :-) I intend to print out the parts full scale, and then transfer to the metal. Center punch hole...
My Saturn Sky does not have a spare either. It comes with a small compressor and a fix-it kit. The XR3 has a built in compressor (for air spring adjustment)....
My Smart Fortwo does not carry a spare. There is no room for it. It does have a compressor and a can to inflate the tire. Is this a trend in small cars?...
3kW is barely 4 HP. It probably uses a 5+ HP gas motor to achieve 4 HP worth of electric power. You've already wasted about 20% of your power generation. This...
I'm not going cross-country on battery. True, if one wanted to be able to run on a generator alone (maybe with some surplus) you would need a 10-12Kw (16+hp)...
Hi Gary, Finally getting some quotes from a couple of local shops. My quotes from the local shops are somewhat higher than Marzee. When I started looking at...
One trick you might try is using large flywheels for inertia. By driving off flywheels and clutch assemblies you can gain some generation power. An inline...
The problem I see with the gas generator idea is one of magnitude. Go carts are powered by 3.5-5 hp gas engines, and they don't have much to spare. Your idea...
XR Minion, is is possible, that the reason that those parts are not quoted, is cuz they never received the DXF files? Are these the same files that are missing...
I have fabbed these parts myself. If you are going to fab your own stuff, and you don't have all of the heavy duty tools, then go no further! Buy these parts...
Carbon paper may be a good option here also. Here is how parts are marked from the plans when building a boat: http://www.glen-l.com/methods/how-to-patt.html ...
Hi Vic, All 3 parts have a .DXF on the CD. Two of these parts are used in the assembly that supports the top of the air bags on the front suspension and I...
I've been following this thread with great interest, as I would really like to build a series hybrid setup in my XR3. I haven't done all the math here yet, but...
"but one thing that seems discouraging is the gas used for this looks to be higher than running an ICE engine to the wheels" It not only looks that way, it is...
I agree that 3kw is not enough power to run a vehicle, but you don't need "power to spare" after you get to highway speed. There's no reason to both run at...
Take a look at the Ale` website. They're talking about the next proto being a series hybrid and it doesn't look to me like they have a great deal of room for...
Corrected Link: http://www.fuelvaporcar.com/ ... proto being a series hybrid and it doesn't look to me like they have a great deal of room for some kind of...
This came from update website INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO MAKE PART # UCA-4 UCA-4 is made from 0.120 thick material. The material is machined out to 0.105. ... ...
Thanks. I've been looking at the update site and missed that. Guess I need to READ more carefully! Anybody on this list with a lathe interested in making the...
By the way... Doesn't it make more sense to on a part that needs to be pressed together like UCA-4 and its bushing to specify the required Inside Diameter?...
If any ones finds a cheaper price on the gas powered <WG972 KUBOTA ENGINE 3600 RPM $2800.00 DOLLARS> then please let me know i am going to do a gan only...
... Here's a few thoughts to keep in mind. - First, gas usage for ICE engines (gas or diesel) is not linear. They don't use double the amount of fuel at full...
Since you will have a pully for the ev system anyway...why not hook up several altenaters off a pully to put some charge back into your batteries while you...
I think people are missing the main point in that while traveling at the best cruising speed on the Interstate the direct drive system you can't beat. It's...
