So, it sounds like one of the goals of the project is to put something together from components? Because I thought Lee’s idea of finding a variable-speed electric drill at a thrift store or yard sale was really an excellent idea. You can probably do so for less than the costs of buying components, especially if you’re going to pay “single piece” shipping on them. And the drill speed control has the advantage of having been designed for motor speed control. Newer ones even use pulse-width-modulation, which you can tell if it makes a squealing or whistling sound at low speed. That sort of controller is going to give you the best low-speed control, with lots more torque. :::: The more the work is left to nature, the greater the net yield but the longer the time required... Thus sometimes the most apparently productive and high-yielding sources of energy involve a lot of activity for little return, while long-term investments, especially in naturally grown forests, provide the greatest value for future generations. -- David Holmgren <http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=David+Holmgren> :::: Jan Steinman, EcoReality Co-op <http://www.ecoreality.org/> :::: _______________________________________________ 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)
