So all this e-bike talk got me to scratching my head and doing some old school engineering. My balance isn't so great, so I decided 4 wheels is better than 2. So my electric powers my wheels. If I could hook something to my wheels, and then turn a charging system, like a old waterwheel grain mill- BLAMMO- perpetual motion. Still in design, but look out Elon, I'm offering shares now.....

Or just mount a wind turbine on the roof. That faster you drive the more power you are putting back in to the power cells.

I am also planning on mounting an electric fan on the front of my windmill generator to keep it producing power on the days the wind is too low.

prop car.jpg OOhh- something like this khansen? Is this one you built in the 30's just before the war? It looks like the fevered invention from someone in upstate New York, driven mad by too much snow.....

Car and snow blower all in one.

Buzzards at the funeral home! There is not even snow on the ground! I do not know what to think of that. Make $20k to bury someone, let the buzzards take most of the job, dig a much smaller hole....seems like there is some profit to be made in that scenario.

I have been thinking about the options list for the EM Bike. We need to incorporate a push-pull device to harness the attention of one driver and thereby leave multiple drivers open to the option of using their mobile electrical devices without infringing their lack of navigational awareness upon the common public. We all know this is a real problem and there is no trend to warrant the believe in it declining in the near future.

Also I have been working on a Bigfoot avoidance option....F4A830E0-8141-4F0F-B5F0-813F13C8CC95.jpegBy mounting these on all side of the EM Bike I think we will be able to keep any stray ‘Foots from investigating further. I am happy to announce that the prototype has worked flawlessly under a 110% load since developing the idea 12 minutes ago.

Well this seemed to be the place to post this video:

This guy has been on the old Farmall Forum since Monday or Tuesday trying to get someone to tell him that it's okay to keep using that starter. More than one of us have reminded him that the gas tank for that old Farmall is only inches above that starter! I said fix it before we read about you in the obit's.

Heck even it it was not throwing sparks and smoking like a sick Detroit on a cold morning just the fact it keeps kicking out would be reason enough for me to rebuild or replace it. As far as I know he does not own a 3306 in Minnesota, but could be some neighbor of you know who!

Lying in bed the other night thinking about all that I have learned on this thread.
The M/Ebike is coming along nicely. I figure about another month and I should be able to unveil it.

But as I was lying in bed I started to ponder some of the other unknown answers in the universe.

Say for example.

Is there like a logarithmic scale to the amount of bed covers that your significant other half will steal on a cold night.
I started studying it and in just a few short days I have found out some really strong data.
On a warmer night the chances of me waking up fully covered are greatly increased and the chances of waking up partially covered to zero covers is directly proportional to the how far below freezing it is.

So I used the old pork ratio in the salsa recipe as a base point and messaged it.
I came up with this idea.
When the blankets come off, head down to the basement and start pedaling the Ebike backwards. This will in fact charge the battery up.
Now if I knit a nice new blanket out of the alpaca wool and weave some copper wire through it I could plug it into the Ebike battery and have a nice warm blanket so there will be no need for the other half to steal all of the covers.
Everybody gets a good nights sleep, wake up refreshed and are ready to solve all of the worlds problems.

You know, I'm trying to be modest but dang I'm good......

Have you tried the sleeping bag trick?? This is the age old solution to the eternal “cover-shift” dilemma. This solution is not effected by power outages, gravitational wave fluctuations, solar spots, NASA funding, sporks, or your local Arts Council.

Spittensparkin isn't a good thing with a starter like that, If he wants to be stubborn, its going to make him walk at the worst time.
