[EVDL] Rudman MK II regulator PCBs
I have been cleaning out my collection and I found a box of 49 new - unused - unpopulated PCBs for the Rudman MKII regulator. Bought these years ago for a project that fell thru, these were boxed up and forgotten. They are marked manzanita micro Reg Mk2 July 7 2000 RJR / JKS. The fellow that was going to build these failed to return the docs and is long long gone so I don't have any parts list etc. I called Rich last year to see if he still had any of the paperwork for these and he didn't seem to after all this time; can't say as I blame him after only 15 + years. I figure someone on this list probably has the original docs and has the skills to use them and might want to either contribute the docs or buy the boards. I want to stress, there is nothing wrong with these - the one we assembled for the prototype worked perfectly, Rich makes good products and it is entirely on me that these were not used. If someone wants them I would like $115 for the 49 which would include PM shipping. If you want them or have the original docs to contribute either e-mail or call me at 623-252-5680. Thanks Dach.

So where are our all-electric motor cruisers? Surely an almost complete absence of noise and vibration for those on board, and for neighbouring boats, plus zero emissions at the point of use is appealing to us all? There are numerous small craft around, but given that even a couple of the tiny 80kW (107hp) electric motors in a Nissan Leaf would be powerful enough to push the average 60-footer at displacement speeds, why has nobody produced a big, all-electric cruiser? Well, finally, a pioneering Swiss company has done just that. Solarwave is about to launch its first all-electric 62-footer, the Solarwave 62. Although it carries a diesel generator as a safety back-up (Solarwave quixotically refer to this as the ‘Range Extender’) the aptly named Solarwave 62’s vast 15kW solar panel array is designed to supply the boat’s entire electrical load on a day-to-day basis, motors and all. We often report on innovative new projects in the making, and while they frequently look great on paper, only the bravest of souls would consider buying the first boats off the line because of their unproven nature. This project appears quite different. For the past five years, Solarwave has had a fully operational prototype cruising far and wide. Half a decade is the longest gestation and testing period I’ve encountered for any new marine project. And nor is the prototype solar boat a mini-me that could be squeezed on to a garden pond, it’s a 46-footer whose systems doubtless mimic those of the production boats very closely. So there should be few surprises when the boat and its systems are scaled up. Besides its longevity, the most impressive aspect of the testing is that far from investigating the best-case scenario, Solarwave made life difficult for itself. So the 46 test-bed not only has high load items on board such as air-con, a washing machine and a 3,000 litre/day watermaker, it also has all-electric cooking instead of gas. The tender’s outboard is electric, not petrol. The Solarwave 46 even carries an electric motorbike, and how many 60-footers carry a motorbike of any type? Increasing the efficiency The first two 62s off the line, which cost around €2m, are both powered by a pair of 60kW motors. With these, Solarwave estimates a top speed greater than 10 knots and a cruising speed around 6-8 knots. To decrease drag and increase manoeuvrability, steerable sail-drives are fitted instead of shafts. These units have been utilised in commercial craft for years, and are beefy enough to cope with the (currently) largest twin 150kW electric motor option. The other way Solarwave has maximised the 62’s efficiency is to reduce weight using high-tech construction. Claims of ‘high-tech’ are frequently no more than annoying hyperbole, but Solarwave’s construction – an epoxy resin infused carbon composite structure with honeycomb cored furniture throughout – truly is high tech. It explains why the 62 weighs 18 tonnes (light), compared with the Lagoon 630’s 35 tonnes. The boat obviously relies on an indeterminate measure of sun, although given the prototype’s operational record that does not seem difficult to achieve. If the sun did disappear completely, with the recommended 84 kWh battery bank, Solarwave estimates the 62 would be able to cruise at 7 knots for about ten hours before the battery bank was depleted enough to require the ‘range extender’. Slow just a little to 6 knots and that time extends significantly. Solarwave understands that some owners will want more speed. So it also has a parallel hybrid version that incorporates 20kW electric motors between the gearbox and the diesel engines, which is straightforward tried and tested technology in the Greenline mo
[EVDL] EVLN: 10, 000km India to Britain road-trip in a solar Electric Tuk-Tuk (v)

Project Tejas - a Sanskrit word for brilliance - is the brainchild of Indian engineer Naveen Rabelli, who, along with documen-tary filmmaker and back-up driver Raoul Kopacka, will travel through India, Iran, Turkey, Bulgaria, Serbia, Hungary, Austria, Germany, France and Great Britain. Rabelli is no stranger to travelling for good causes, having recently concluded an 18-month, seven-country trip through New Zealand and Southeast Asia, teach-ing underprivileged children about sports, science, maths and sharing Indian culture with local residents. On a brief stopover in Dubai before headed to the Iranian port of Bandar Abbas, Rabelli said he drew inspiration from the ubiquitous Tuk Tuks of his native country India. "I was in India, and there are too many Tuk Tuks that are polluting, and not much was being done to them. That's where the idea came from," he told Khaleej Times. "I started making my own Tuk Tuk three years ago, and after all the planning it took about that long to get to where I am now," he added. Making of the Tuk Tuk The planning itself was a four-stage process. In the first stage, the team (which also included mechanics) examined current trends in solar power, planned the trip, and sourced required materials. In the second, motors and batteries were mounted and power cables were installed. In the third stage, an on-board computer was installed and the solar powers were fitted onto the Tuk Tuk. Lastly, the vehicle was tested and data was analyzed with which to make improvements. According to Rabelli, the total cost of the trip - including the planned documentary, travel expenses, ve-hicle logistics, permits, visas and marketing efforts - is $38,790. Rabelli's vehicle - a modified Piaggio Ape - can travel up to 100km per charge, and can be charged from existing electrical grids in addition to through its solar panels. Beginning from Kochi, Rabelli and Kopacka have so far travelled through Ban-galore, Pune and Mumbai. "I was really struck that there are some places in India where there is absolutely no power. That really stood out to me," he said. "In our imagination everything runs on power, but these guys probably haven't seen power for years now." From Bandar Abbas, Rabelli will drive his Tuk Tuk to the Iranian cities of Shiraz, Isfahan and Teh-ran, before headed to the Iranian-Turkish border. "I expect to cover the whole of Iran in about 40 days," he said. The entire trip, Rabelli said, will take about four months, including numerous stops to discuss clean en-ergy sources and meet with NGOs. "It's more about the journey for me, because I'll be going to schools and colleges," he said. "I'm a very small guy, but I want people to start thinking about clean energy solutions," he added. "Especially with the younger generations, they have better scope to start thinking and get inspired by this project and see the possibilities of what we have."

This year, it adds an even more stylish, luxurious version, the Rocket Saturn. Like a special edition car, the new trike enjoys both styling and performance upgrades. The seats fold flat to create a mattress for when the trike is parked The Rocket Saturn e-pedals children around town Boxer Rocket Saturn Rocket detailing From a performance standpoint, the Rocket Saturn is upgraded with a Go SwissDrive electric powertrain. The rear hub motor offers the same 250 to 500 watts as the standard Rocket bike's motor, but this e-drive includes a torque sensor for more seamless electric pedal-assist performance. The system also includes a removable color LCD display with Bluetooth smartphone connection and a slightly larger-capacity 15 Ah 36 V battery. The new Saturn also gets a major cosmetic overhaul. On the outside, a new metallic red "candy" paint covers up the natural metal look of the standard Rocket. Boxer promises that the paint looks especially gorgeous when sparkling under natural sunlight. Inside, the Saturn's cockpit is upholstered in leather for the luxurious, supple feel and aromatic smell of a premium car. Beyond those new additions, the Rocket Saturn is a uniquely stylish trike just like the original. It's designed to seat four children on its two reclining benches and includes a full lighting system, lockable nosecone storage, horn, USB port for gadget charging and removable rain cover. It has seven speeds and shares the same component set, including Tektro front and rear hydraulic disc brakes, Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires and a Brooks B33 saddle. The Rocket wasn't cheap to begin with, and the premium additions of the Saturn trim certainly don't make it any cheaper. At £7,500 (approx. US$10,400), its appeal is sure to be limited to a very select type of buyer, just like a limited edition version of a high-end car. The Rocket Saturn buyer will be getting one of the most interesting and memorable trikes on the road, though, and is sure to attract many a look and conversation.

While the men go out into sea for fishing, it is the women who sell the catch in the market, taking it from fish landing centres on the coast to inland. Most of the time, transporting fish in buses and trains is objected to by fellow passengers due to the smell. So the women resort to three wheelers - auto rickshaws - to transport the fish and they are always at the mercy of auto rickshaw drivers who fleece them since fish is perishable item has to be taken to the market without delay to fetch good prices. To address this issue, the Association of Deep Sea Going Artisanal Fishermen (ADSGAF), with the support of IEEE - Sight (Institute of Electric and Electronic Engineering - Special Interest Group on Humanitarian Technology) has come out with a solar powered three-wheeler in coastal Kanyakumari. Students from Annai Velankanni College of Engineering in Pottalkulam, Kanyakumari district, were roped in to develop a suitable model. The solar-powered three wheeler is on a trial run between the coastal villages of Neerodi and Marthandanthurai, and Arockiapuram and Nagercoil town for the last three months. Vincent Jain of ADSGAF said the project was named solar-powered self transportation for women fish vendors. In the past, the association successfully fitted solar panels in deep sea fishing boats to save on fuel as well as to provide back-up to boat engines in case of emergencies arising in mid-sea. Similarly, a solar-powered refrigerated truck was also launched to transport fish in Colachel. Generally, fish vending women have to wait a long time at the sea shore to get a suitable vehicle to transport fish to various markets. After a day-long toil in the scorching sun to sell fish, returning home is another ordeal for them. "The objective is to provide them a suitable vehicle that is also eco-friendly. The project is in trial for the last three months in the coastal stretches of the district. After some trouble, our women are doing well with this vehicle," he said. The association is also planning to make more solar powered three wheelers at IIT - Madras research incubator and they are also planning to submit a proposal to the Tamil Nadu Fisheries Cooperative Societies Federation (TACOFED) seeking financial assistance to provide vehicles to fishing community women.

The SeaBob scooters are among the new technologies being trialled by Surf Life Saving Queensland (SLSQ) in the hope of improving rescue times. They can hit speeds of up to 20 kilometres and dive up to five metres, SLSQ spokesman Nathan Fife said. "If someone is missing, you know, goggles on and the mask and you can go along the bottom of the ocean," he said. "You can dive down to five metres with it, so we're definitely looking at that for search and rescue." One of the scooters was tested in a rescue at Nobby Beach on the Gold Coast this morning. Surfer Nikki Quinlan and her friend were saved after being swept out to sea. Ms Quinlan said she needed rescuing after her leg rope snapped. "When you don't have a board there's not much else you can do," she said. SLSQ will review all trials, and the SeaBob could be rolled out in the next six months if it is approved ...
