Way-way before JB was, Clare Bell http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/Raptor-600-DC-Motor-Controller-on-Ebay-tp429551p429586.html
http://evworld.com/article.cfm?storyid=437 http://www.evalbum.com/5306 Clare has done many good-EV-deeds long before I got involved with EVs. At one point she was working at the Alameda-CA calstart hangar 20 for green motor works (a SoCal conversion biz back before the automakers 'said' they were going to make&sell production EVs, and all the conversion EV biz folded/closed down). They were selling-off a Ford Escort StaWgn, that I bought to keep in the SF area. I paid Clare to upgrade the 108VDC T-105 pack with US-125s, and install a 4-gauge cable run to the rear trunk area for higher powered charging (I was using a Zivan NG5 5kW charger, along with its on-board BC-20 L1 charger in parallel - I was the only one doing parallel charging back then). After I gathered my data, I put the EV up for sale in the SF area at my cost (I did many EV-things back then at or below my cost). Months later, it had a new SF area owner. Later, I paid Clare to do some important work on my S-10 Blazer EV (after the San Mateo converter I had been using sold his biz). I am grateful for all the work she did as I really needed help to get those issues resolved. On JB's personal (safe) web page [ http://www.straubel.com/ ], the links to his Porsche conversion, and pusher go nowhere (they're as good as dead-Jim). Which is why I grabbed what I could of what those pages were and created a (safe) clone of them for archival purposes (so we didn't JB's before-Tesla good-EV-deeds), see: https://brucedp.neocities.org/jstraubel/ The evdl archive also has a post I made documenting when I first saw JB driving his Porsche with his pusher (years ago when I was a hp-CE): http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/Archived-clean-cloned-pages-of-former-jstraubel-site-944-EV-pushers-gen1-2-more-tp4684626.html For EVLN EV-newswire posts use: http://evdl.org/archive/ {brucedp.neocities.org} -- Sent from: http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/ _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
