I am glad Lawrence posted his EV trip on the evdl. It reminds me of the all the many evdl posts I made of my e-trips when I pushed my Blazer EV conversion's range envelope. While Lawrence did not say, I am assuming his 90mi e-trip was on one charge. If so, I am not stating Lawrence's 90mi e-trip did not happen, nor do I have doubts: https://www.google.com/#q=%22range%22+Leaf+miles Leaf range is 84 to 107 mi http://www.nissanusa.com/electric-cars/leaf/charging-range/range/ Nissan tool to estimate a trip's range, Enter: San Francisco, CA 94110 & Sacramento, CA 95814 Gives: 89 miles But after reading Lawrence's brief/terse post, I was left hungry for more details (perhaps Lawrence will post more later). So, the following it totally conjecture, and possibly just a brain-exercise, so as to give a whiff of what Lawrence's Leaf-trip was like/about, etc. Evdl old-timers know Lawrence is a musician (from his previous msg trailers). Looking at his professional profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lawrence-rhodes-6a79419 ... California Musical Theatre March 1994 – Present (22 years 6 months) Sacramento, California Area Woodwind musician as needed ... [ (CMT) 1510 J Street, Sacramento, CA 95814] So, I will run with him having a 'gig' (gigging) in Sac. as his reason/purpose for the trip. Using the traffic option, and setting it to have him leave at 11am for his ~2hr e-trip to Sac: https://goo.gl/maps/miqC9kRimJ32 traffic really was not that bad (he wisely missed the going-to-work or coming-home traffic mess). Setting the terrain option on that map, I see the only energy-eating hills/mountains were between San Pablo and Cordelia, else most of his trip was flat (not much gravity involved). I have driven this route many years ago, but in an old technology (PbSO4) 50mi EV conversion, which required I charge along the way (I was not able to reach Sac on one charge). My first try was a 50mph to conserve power (I was driving a wind-pusher Blazer EV, which was no-way as low a Cd as a Leaf). But later trips to Sac (I had done six), I found I could get away with driving a little faster at 55mph which got less flying-middle-fingers in my direction). After 90+mi, Lawrence's Leaf EV is going to need a charge in old-town Sac. So, manually peeking and poking (searching) plugshare.com for EVSE near 95814, I found several, but will run-with the following EVSE as where he charged his Leaf because it is less than a mile walking distance from CMT: http://www.plugshare.com/?location=19157 Park Tower Garage Ports 4 EV Plug (J1772)s Address 805 J St., Sacramento, CA, 95814 Phone (916) 442-2217 Hours Garage business hours; pay lot Description Enter from J St., one-way east. CS-40 - ClipperCreek updated J1772 compliant equipment. paid $7 for weekend parking So including those three location points (home, charging, destination) in the map: https://goo.gl/maps/zcF8tvberVA2 Lawrence's Leaf SF to 'SacraTomato' EV-trip 89mi I'll also assume after his gig, he likely stayed overnight either with family, friends or at nearby lodging: https://www.google.com/#q=lodging+near+95814&rflfq=1&rlha=1&rlla=0&rllag=38580139,-121498747,746&tbm=lcl&tbs=ls:-1,lf_hd:-1,lf_maxhp:-1,lf_maxhpitems:75-100-125-200,lf_maxhpcur:USD,lf_msr:-1,lf_hc:-1,lf_ha:0,lf_haitems:767,lf:1,lf_ui:6&hotel_dates=2016-09-11,2016-09-12 Sadly, not too many of the lodging shown offered EVSE.

Re: [EVDL] Piezo-power> 10mi of freeway could charge all the EVs inBurbank-CA(?)
I still don't get it. Even if the technology works, the energy comes from the car. So, let's say our EV takes 250wh / mile from the battery at 50 mph on normal roadway. Now, with the piezo roadway, it takes 251wh / mile. But there are some losses converting that piezo compression to electricity so, by the time it reaches the grid let's say it's 80% of that or 0.8wh. Later, we need to recharge our EV and let's say that process is also 80% efficient. So to get that extra 1wh into the battery takes about 1.2wh. So the net is it took 1.2wh to get 0.8wh of electricity. Wouldn't it be better just to stick with the normal roadway? My numbers are just for example. If I have a flaw in the logic, please point it out.

Re: [EVDL] Piezo-power> 10mi of freeway could charge all the EVs inBurbank-CA(?)
First I have to explain that I am an Agile coach. My job is to teach companies and their people to treat EVERYTHING as an unproven hypothesis. Then the work is to either prove or disprove that hypothesis through conducting experiments. The experiments are to be as simple and as inexpensive as possible to yield valid results. The result of each experiment yields new data, and a new set of hypotheses. New experiments are then set up to either prove or disprove these. The process is repeated as needed until a clear strategic path forward is identified. Guessing and assumptions are no longer allowed to be used to determine decisions because they stifle innovation. Therefore, in this case I cannot dismiss the piezo approach until sufficient experiments are run that prove or disprove whether it represents a viable approach. > The movement of the Piezo elements is not > instantaneous, in fact they will generate the most energy when they only > yield slowly to the force, such that the largest possible force over the > largest possible time can act on them. While this is optimal, it it a requirement? In other words, would the Piezo element still generate energy of it were forced to act more quickly? In other words, could there be an optimum reaction response that balances the energy generated while reducing the "uphill effect"? Just wondering... Also, wouldn't the speed of the vehicle significantly impact your example? The ratio to time to travel the slab relative to the response time of the Piezo would see to differ drastically between 15 mph rush hour traffic and 70 mph off peak traffic flow. If the response time were forced tom e a constant, some less that ideal response time would have to be selected based on average speed or some traffic flow/speed optimization. What about only placing the piezo elements at the far end of the concrete slab? And adjust the static angle of the slab to minimize "the uphill effect"? Each slab could have the far end higher than the near end yet the total would actually be level or even a very slight downhill. Of course, driving the wrong direction would be a very unpleasant experience. The city just ground down an entire road near my house because the soil expansion actually produced this effect. I avoided driving down that section until they fixed it because the ride was so unpleasant. The Piezo I saw demonstrated only had a very small range of motion, say less that 1/16" and could react nearly instantaneously by only compressing it between your fingers while generating enough energy to light a led. Put a set if these at the far end supporting a 30' slab of concrete. The rise would be 1/16" over 30'. That comes out to something like 0.00017 degrees of rise. Let's say a 4000 lb vehicle is on that slab. If the slab were perfectly level, all 4000 lbs would result in a pure downward force to deflect the Piezo element with no additional rolling resistance due to a rise. The force vector changes with the 0.00017 degree rise. Now 3999 lbs of force are available to deflect the Piezo element and 1 lb of force is wasted due to the rise. The difference in force vectors is more than 3 orders of magnitude! Off the top of my head, 3 orders of magnitude seems insignificant enough to dismiss as "noise". I would guess that friction in general and the rolling resistance of the tires are larger that that. I wonder what the drag of disk brakes is? I would be willing to wager that I could attach a rope to that vehicle and manually pull it against that load for an entire day. Again, experimen ts would need to be run to prove or disprove this, but being able to use 3999 lbs to generate energy at the cost of only 1 lb seems like a pretty good trade off to me. Obviously not perpetual or free energy but awfully close. At least enough to warrant investigation through experimentation before dismissing the idea completely. ___ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Read EVAngel's EV News at http://evdl.org/evln/ Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
Re: [EVDL] Piezo-power> 10mi of freeway could charge all the EVs in Burbank-CA(?)
Gravity is caused by the distortion in the space time continuum. Mass distorts space time similar to a bowling ball placed on a mattress. If you place a tennis ball on the mattress it will roll towards the bowling ball because space time (i.e. The mattress) is warped. Without a force acting upon it, an object will move in a straight line. If you draw a line on a sheet of paper, and then twist or bend the paper, the line will no longer appear straight. In the same way, the straight path of an object is bent when space and time is bent. This explains why all objects fall at the same rate. The gravity warps spacetime in a particular way, so the straight paths of all objects are bent in the same way near the Earth Sent from my iPhone > On Aug 26, 2016, at 10:24 PM, Rush Dougherty via EV wrote: > > Since you seem to have more knowledge about this field than I do... please > enlighten me (and the others on this list) - what is that resistance called > and > how does it make objects crash into the ground.

Re: [EVDL] Piezo-power> 10mi of freeway could charge all the EVs in Burbank-CA(?)
The basic physics is valid and the other loses are not particularly relevant. When the tire climbs onto a tile (or uncompressed portion of roadway), work is done to combat gravity. That work comes from the car's motor. When the tile descends (or roadway compresses) energy is produced, this time coming from gravity. Only this time, the energy doesn't go back into the car's motor. It goes into the piezo and then becomes electrical energy. So, yes, to produce piezo energy, it will come from the car. Again, the principal question is whether the piezo roadbed will have <= the "squishiness" of a traditional roadbed.

Pickup Truck from a normal ...
]
Hmmm…what would happen if you take a 1939 Dodge pickup and convert into an
electric daily driver?
A whole lot of fun, according to Al Gajda, who after retiring from IBM
finally electrified the truck that had been sitting in his garage for nearly
40 years.
“I purchased the truck in New Hampshire in 1973 (or thereabout) for $250,”
Gajda writes on his YouTube page, alegatorlex. “Using our Chevy Suburban my
wife Mindy towed the truck home with me steering the truck. Once we got into
our subdivision I jump started the engine. It ran for a few minutes
producing a large cloud of blue smoke. That was the last time the engine
ran.”
No engine, no problem. Gajda, a self-educated engineer of sorts, bought an
electric motor from a company in California that specializes in electric
auto conversions and used it in place of the six-cylinder flathead,
according to Kentucky.com.
A thousand pounds of lithium-ion batteries in the bed provide about 100
miles of range and enough torque to get the truck moving out quickly from
any gear of its original 3-speed transmission! He’s gotten the truck up to
75mph and he said it would have gone faster, but he eased off the original
1939 Dodge accelerator pedal. Gajda, 76, loves driving the pickup while
running errands and dropping his granddaughter off at school in Kentucky.
The pickup is a hit at auto shows or even at local parking lots.
“If I park it at Lowe’s or Home Depot, there’ll be people looking at it when
I come back,” Gajda explained. “But I usually have to tell them it’s
electric.”
Gajda learned a lot about electric auto conversions on the internet and
along the way became a fan of EVTV.ME (Electric Vehicle Television).
“There is a pretty steep learning curve to converting a vehicle to all
electric,” Gajda writes on his YouTube site. “But it is worth it, the first
time you drive your EV down the street!!!”
Gajda offers plenty of advice and encouragement to EV builders through his
YouTube videos.

Washington commits $12.6M to grid modernization effort
August 22, 2016 Robert Walton
Dive Brief:
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee (D) has committed $12.6 million in Clean Energy
Fund grants to five Washington state utilities for projects focused on
renewable integration and grid modernization.
The grants will fund projects proposed by Avista, Seattle City Light, Orcas
Power and Light, Snohomish County Public Utility District and Energy
Northwest. The state's funding will be matched by utilities and their
partners.
The projects include solar installations, battery storage and microgrids.
Avista's proposal would develop a “shared energy economy” allowing a wide
range of grid resources to be used for multiple purposes.
Dive Insight:
Washington state's grid modernization efforts drew praise from U.S. Energy
Secretary Ernest Moniz, who was on hand in Seattle for the announcement.
“Gov. Inslee and the state of Washington continue to champion clean energy
innovation. Driving innovation is at the core of how our country maintains
its leadership in developing clean, low-carbon energy technologies,” Moniz
said.
Inslee and Moniz made the announcement last week at the Northwest Regional
Clean Energy Innovation Partnership Workshop. The event is jointly hosted by
the University of Washington and the Pacific Northwest National Lab.
“With these awards, our leading utilities will demonstrate how to integrate
battery storage with solar energy and stand-alone energy systems, train the
workforce to build and maintain these systems, and lead the industry into
the clean energy future,” Inslee said.
While four of the utilities proposed more standard grid modernization
projects, Avista is planning to pilot a “shared energy economy." According
to the announcement, the project "allows various energy assets — from solar
panels and battery storage to traditional utility assets — to be shared for
multiple purposes, including system efficiency and grid resiliency. It will
demonstrate how the consumer and utility can each benefit."
“We know the future will look different as new technologies continue to
change the energy landscape," said Heather Rosentrater, Avista's vice
president of Energy Delivery. "Today, customers are buying, installing and
using distributed energy resources, and actually participating in the grid.
We are committed to ensuring our system will be flexible enough to meet the
changing expectations and future needs of consumers.”
Seattle City Light has proposed a solar-powered microgrid at a designated
emergency shelter, which will keep fire stations, community centers and
communication networks operating during an outage.
Orcas Power & Light, a cooperative utility serving 20 islands in the San
Juan archipelago, is planning to deploy a community solar system to extend
the life of the its underwater supply cable. The coop buys most of its power
from Bonneville Power Administration's hydro assets, and delivers it to the
islands through submerged cables. It serves about 15,000 meters.
Snohomish Public Utility District has proposed a pilot to show how to
leverage batteries in electric vehicles to store and use renewable energy.
The provider will combine battery storage, microgrid and solar technologies,
"connecting this integrated technology to the electric vehicle fleet."
And Energy Northwest will bring together its 28 utilities with labor leaders
at a local union, Quanta Services/Potelco and the UW Clean Energy Institute,
to create a "battery and solar competency training facility."
