Butane?! I think he's making that up - Butane by itself isn't used as
a road fuel, although it may be a component of LPG. So I seriously
doubt there is a B classification for it.
Go to the next clerk.

Today's New York Times has a special section on cars called "Getting to

http://www.nytimes.com/pages/automobiles/autospecial/

I intend to go to the Chicago Auto Show and tell the people in the GM
display that I will not buy a GM car until I can get a volt, and I'll offer
them a down payment. Nothing else they build is environmentally or
politically sound. If enough people say it, it ought to raise the priority
level of getting the Volt out.

Yes, JB Weld will work too. I just got done building up a shaft bushing and
machining it for a press fit. It states a temperature rating of 600 F.
Clean the area you want to applied this compound with a fine stainless wire
brush, then clean it with epoxy thinner and use the longer drying time JB
Weld instead of the 5 minute stuff. This will give you a longer spread out
time for a smoother job.

Lawrence,
My US Electricar S10 (factory converted Chevy) shows on
the registration papers a USELE with classification 'E'
for Electric, no smog required.
If you can't get the clerk to properly classify it, as
for his or her supervisor to assist.
I hope they do not make you go through technical inspection
(again) before titling it as 'E' but if necessary, that may
be a way to get this corrected?
Which type of car is this?

Hi Jeff,
Yeah, you could make the housing out of aluminum, but
your motor would be crap. The housing or frame or
yoke is an important part of the magnetic circuit,
called the back iron. It needs to be ferrous
material. And I suspect, your motor has a rolled
steel frame, not cast iron. Even AC motors, which
often have an aluminum housing, have steel stators
with back iron inside. So that heavy motor housing is
not "useless weight".

Jeff M

The Ferrari Segway: 0 to arcane in 60 seconds
Posted Oct 22nd 2007 by Thomas Ricker
http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/the-ferrari-segway-0-to-arcane-in-60-seconds
Believe it or not there it is, the Ferrari-branded Segway. It's not any
faster than the regular PT i2 and certainly won't help to convince the
authorities to repeal any sidewalk-safety laws. It is red, however, and
features a conspicuous Cavallino Rampante badge for all your subordinates to
see. All yours Mr. PoloPants for just $12,000.
[Via Sybarites, thanks RV]
Segway have teamed up with Ferrari to release a special limited edition
version of their i2 Personal Transporter. Ferrari have used Segway's as a
transportation method around their Maranello factory for sometime now, the
Segway PT i2 Ferrari Limited Edition comes in Ferrari's signature color, red
and features the Scuderia Ferrari logo at the base. It has a range of almost
forty kilometers off one battery charge and can be easily stowed in the
trunk of a car for longer journeys. It comes with a handlebar bag made of
leather.

What someone needs to figure out is how to make
lightweight materials magnetic, that would be a huge
revolution. Saw on TV they actually achieved a
magnetic plastic, but at close to absolute zero temp
or something very hard to duplicate in the real
world.

Listers,
I was amazed to see that the KillaCycle video that Steve Ciciora put
up on YouTube is up to 299,333
views! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDHJNG2PngQ

I just want to verify, that a lead-acid battery fully charged, will be
sitting at 2.11 volts per cell. This is 6.33 volts for a 6 volt battery and
12.66 volts for 12 volt batteries. Would this be correct for all lead acid,
whether gell, flooded, and agm?
Thanks,
Brian

The voltages are OK. 10.8V is 2.7V/cell, which is high, but not at all
unbelievable near the end of a charge cycle.
If you haven't yet done so, doublecheck your PakTrakr readings against a good
DMM. The PakTrakr only measures to 0.1V and I've found that the readings can
vary by +/-0.1-0.2V from channel to channel and monitor to monitor (with the
6-battery monitors; the 8-battery model may be different).
Cheers,
Roger.
