OK, so stay away from the current (defunct) jstraubel (dot) com website and only visit the original one in the internet archive that I linked.
Here is another pusher website, also defunct and viewable in the archive. This one includes the full build-story to give ideas how to build a pusher: http://web.archive.org/web/20121105135914/http:/www.mrsharkey.com/pusher .htm Cor van de Water Chief Scientist Proxim Wireless office +1 408 383 7626 Skype: cor_van_de_water XoIP +31 87 784 1130 private: cvandewater.info http://www.proxim.com This email message (including any attachments) contains confidential and proprietary information of Proxim Wireless Corporation.

I did not notice as I have the "NoScript" plugin on FireFox so that Javascript is by default not running on my computer, I have to individually approve websites that don't work without JavaScript, or simply let them be broken if I don't fully trust them. So, I was not getting the redirect. Note that the jstraubel.com hosting site is a server in The Netherlands, offering the domain for sale. So, it may be that some websites on this domain are unsafe - not necessarily the server message that offers the domain for sale, but again I don't know for sure as my browser is not being redirected anyway. I presume that the EValbum page are OK, as well as the archive.org capture of JB Straubel's website, I looked at a version from 10 years ago and that showed up perfectly with the details on the gen 2 pusher.

Then weld on a tow hitch, wire up the remote start and accelerator control and off you go. At least, that is how Mr Straubel and a couple others have done it... http://www.evalbum.com/223 (unfortunately the jstraubel.com domain is terminated, so the links to the pusher don't work) http://myimiev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=1255&start=110 Cor van de Water Chief Scientist Proxim Wireless office +1 408 383 7626 Skype: cor_van_de_water XoIP +31 87 784 1130 private: cvandewater.info http://www.proxim.com <http://www.proxim.com/> <http://www.proxim.com/> This email message (including any attachments) contains confidential and proprietary information of Proxim Wireless Corporation.

And it you drag it along most places you go, you'llbe cutting your mileage by far more than it is worth. Just towing a tiny 4'x4' utility trailer (solar panels) behind my prius drops the mileage form 50 down to 35 MPG. A pusher is just a crutch for delaying the ievitable loss of a gas station on every corner. bob -----Original Message----- From: EV [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Lee Hart via EV Sent: Monday, November 21, 2016 12:17 PM To: Cor van de Water; Electric Vehicle Discussion List Subject: Re: [EVDL] EVLN: EV-newswire posts for 20161121 Cor van de Water via EV wrote: > Regarding recharging while being towed: I have at some point (a couple years ago) considered buying a Leaf in Los Angeles and partly driving, partly flat-towing it back to the Bay Area. I already realized that you don't really need to stop for charging if you use on-road regen charging while being towed for part of the trip and driving the EV for other parts, starting with a fully charged vehicle and if there is an overnight stop then that is also a natural moment to get the EV recharged without taking extra recharge time. > However, I ended up with the need to transport the Leaf by myself earlier this year, so I used a tow dolly all the way instead. Here's a related idea that I keep thinking about: A few people have built "pusher" trailers. The trailer is really the front clip of a front-wheel drive car, complete with ICE, automatic transmission, and transaxle. The throttle and ignition switch are remoted so they can be operated from the driver's seat. To take a long trip with your EV, connect the pusher trailer to a trailer hitch. Start the ICE, put it in Drive, and go! When the ICE is idling, it just creeps forward, like any car with an automatic transmission. Your EV's brakes can easily hold it back. On the freeway where you need help, use the ICE's throttle to push your EV and control your speed. Obviously, you'd limit the ICE throttle to restrict how much push the trailer can produce. 100-200 pounds thrust should be all you'd need for a normal EV, and that isn't enough to cause braking or handling problems with a 3000 lbs EV. And, you certainly wouldn't use it down hills or in slippery conditions. -- The problem in this business isn't to keep people from stealing your ideas: It's to *make* them steal your ideas! -- Howard Aiken -- Lee Hart, 814 8th Ave N, Sartell MN 56377, www.sunrise-ev.com _______________________________________________ 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 <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA?soc_src=mail&soc_trk=ma> <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA?soc_src=mail&soc_trk=ma> ) _______________________________________________ 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 <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA?soc_src=mail&soc_trk=ma> <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA?soc_src=mail&soc_trk=ma> ) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
