Are you familiar with the Vortex? http://vortexplans.com/ We have a large Yahoo group (shameless plug) for the vehicle and two on the road (except the owner/builder of the one in NC just passed away after fighting cancer). The plans set includes the electric mods/plans. The vehicle is

Wow. Mike when you kill 'em, you kill 'em dead as a hammer. One of the things on my list to do after this course on Electric Machines is over (next week is finals) is look over the Etek and analyse it more before employing it. A PM motor is considered a special case of a separately excited

Re: [ElectricMotorcycles] eBay: Airpax 150 Amp 80 Volt DCCircuit Breaker

2007-03-25 Thread Doug Starwalt
To decompose this thread a little more... A DC breaker is a safety device. A DC disconnect is a switch. It is similar to the old machinst adage You can drill on a mill, but you shouldn't mill on a drill. I had an site that regularly used a circuit breaker as a switch. It failed prematurely

That Spec Anny sounds interesting. Are you trying to have one operate on a computer? Or are you trying to make a smaller version? It is a modification of the Spectrum Analyzer from Kanga US http://www.bright.net/~kanga/kanga/w7zoi/products/spectrum_analyzer.htm I am limiting the bandwidth to

Re: [ElectricMotorcycles] Polling the Alltrax

The software from Alltax works like a charm and both the other terminal programs I'm using receive some data when the controller first comes online. I think this is an 'I'm okay' signal the controller sends when it first activates. And... The docs for RealTerm in particular seem to be

[ElectricMotorcycles] Etek dxf file anyone??

2005-12-06 Thread Doug Starwalt
Ok, I bit the bullet and spent some hard earned eBay dollars on a new Etek from Capt. America. (I hope none of his enemies come to exact revenge grin). Does anyone have a dxf format of the motor? I will search around more, but don't remember seeing one on the Briggs Stratton site. I found a dxf

I thought you could just hook one up to a standard 9 volt battery for programming. I tried this and don't get the results I'm after. No lights and no communication to the PC. What am I missing? http://electricmotorcycles.net/modules/listserv/temp/img_2896_th.jpg Seems like a resonable

Mike asked: You speak German, Doug? I studied it two years and had a german buddy in college in Florida. We both had 69 Mustangs and would spend the weekend wrenching on them. I helped him restore his BSA (don't remember which one, but a 250 single jug). We would also buzz around on his dad's
