My computer didn't do anything strange at that URL, but I also run Noscript 
and have a large hosts file blocking most malware sites.  

I did see a script listed for sedoparking.com.  Sedo appears to be an ad 
farm, a way to "monetize" your unused domain names, so I'd agree that it's 
probably better to stay away.  

I see no evidence that the other links (evalbum and archive.org) are in any 
way harmful.  The archive of the pusher is in fact quite interesting, and I 
recommend checking it out if you've never before heard of this form of EV 
range extender.

Hi Robert, thanks for catching the unsafe redirect warning.

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.

Bob,
You don't understand - the pusher is a device that you build yourself
for about $500 by getting a good-running Salvage (rear end crashed for
example)
and cutting off everything behind the A-pillar, fixing the front wheel
steering into straight-ahead (lock steering) and put some cover in place
over the dash, as well as mounting a fuel tank and pump somewhere, for
example in the footwell.
Then weld on a tow hitch, wire up the remote start and accelerator
control and off you go.

The cost of the pusher (in the small quantities that anyone would want
to
buy them) would be more than the cost of a spare car!

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.

I believe I have recounted here my two experiences towing an imiev with 
a Tesla?
The first trip about 200 miles from Plano to home (south of Austin).  
The second from Houston, about 150 miles.  No problem at all on either 
trip.   Generally towing (and regenning) about 30 miles, then driving 
about 50 miles.


The first was done at night and I have no photos.  The second, I 
fabricated a "stiff rope" tow bar and did take some photos:

In both cases, SuperChargers provided much of the energy.

MANY times I have reflected on the possibility of attaching to trucks on 
the highway.  Maybe a chain of EVs being towed and regenning.

Yup, sounds like a scam so if you want to proceed first make sure the cheque

the cheque is drawn on a stolen account that the owner may not realize has been 
compromised so it can clear and appear good for sometimes a long time before 
the money is suddenly reversed and you are left dangling.  I worked this scam 
with a friend who was selling a wheel chair on craigslist and the guy sent a 
cheque for more than the value, wanted the chair sent to a third party along 
with the difference after shipping costs.  A couple of phone calls and it was 
obvious that it was  a scam.  We reported it to the police gave them the cheque 
and led the guy on for a bit before we stopped the communications.  Never did 
find out what the resolution was.

So be careful.

Hi Mark,
There are some red flags that you are often warned about, such as using
a check or money order from abroad that appears legit on first sight,
but two or 3 weeks later your bank calls that the piece of paper is
worthless.
The most often occurring form of that scam was that they sent you a too
large payment, to cover the cost of shipment and honest sellers would
send the buyers a personal check or cash for the overage. So, after all
was said and done, they were out of their car, and shipping costs and
whatever cash or check they sent to the buyer, only left with a
worthless piece of paper.
So, if the type of payment you receive is not a guaranteed type of
payment (please ask your bank to confirm!) then you must wait a
*loong* time before even shipping your vehicle!

That said, it is possible that a (foreign?) buyer absolutely wants to
have a nice looking Ghia and then 3 grand is a bargain, EV or not. So,
it is possible that it simply is someone with more money than
realization of what an EV is, he simply wants a nice looking car and
someone will take care that it runs
I hope you find out soon what the intent of the buyer is!

Hi folks
I'm curious if this is normal. I just sold my Ghia evalbum.com/4346 on
EBay for $3335.  The guy doesn't ask anything about EV operation when
I've sent a fair amount of info. I just get misspelled notifications
like the transporters will be soon pick up. Last night I was requested
to give my pay pal account number which I replied with my email address
was all he needed to pay or click on the ad to pay by PayPal. Now he
says he's mailing a bank check instead.  When I call his number I just
get some breathing and then hung up several times.  He doesn't appear to
be an EV enthusiast but hopefully the check will be ok.
I'm buying a Chevy Spark EV in Maryland Friday to go along with my Leaf.

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.

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.

2016-11-21 Thread Rush Dougherty via EV
I have to say that I agree with Lee. While the possibility of a scam is there,
you might want to proceed with caution. I've had many people inquire after my
products that didn't seem to know anything about their OEM EV or conversions
that they were getting or had. After a couple emails we worked out what they
really needed and went on from there.

But I must say I've had my share of people wanting 20 sets of Plug and cords and
20 units of my TucsonEV-SE shipped to some foreign country by their own shipper
and they'd pay me with a check on another company name

The cost of the pusher (in the small quantities that anyone would want to
buy them) would be more than the cost of a spare car!

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

Re: [EVDL] Selling an EV on EBay

2016-11-21 Thread Cor van de Water via EV
If Mark has specified only payment via Paypal and the buyer does not pay
by Paypal then Mark can cancel the deal for non-payment.
If the buyer does send a (valid) check anyways, it is simple to not
risk anything if it is not a guaranteed payment and simply destroy the
check, take a picture of the destroyed check just in case and leave it
at that.
If his bank confirms that he has received a guaranteed form of payment,
then it is his choice to accept it and move forward, once he is 100%
sure that he has been paid. He can follow his own timeline, for example
wait 2-3 weeks before releasing the car, since the buyer did not follow
his required payment method. If the buyer becomes very anxious that is
an extra red flag.

Canceling the transaction and reporting the buyer is probably the safest
approach.

Re: [EVDL] Selling an EV on EBay

2016-11-21 Thread Lawrence Harris via EV
Yup, sounds like a scam so if you want to proceed first make sure the cheque 
clears before you ship.  The typical additional part is they send a cheque for 
more than the amount saying the extra is for shipping or some such and ask that 
you refund them the difference, by cheque or money order.  Unfortunately often 
the cheque is drawn on a stolen account that the owner may not realize has been 
compromised so it can clear and appear good for sometimes a long time before 
the money is suddenly reversed and you are left dangling.  I worked this scam 
with a friend who was selling a wheel chair on craigslist and the guy sent a 
cheque for more than the value, wanted the chair sent to a third party along 
with the difference after shipping costs.  A couple of phone calls and it was 
obvious that it was  a scam.  We reported it to the police gave them the cheque 
and led the guy on for a bit before we stopped the communications.  Never did 
find out what the resolution was.

So be careful.

OK you motor gurus. My Gast vacuum pump quit working.

Upon disassembly, I found the two curved ceramic field magnets were
detached from the motor housing.

Needless to say, the motor would not turn with the magnets stuck to the
rotor.

I cannot tell by looking at the inside of the motor housing exactly
where the magnets were positioned.

I am going to guess that it makes a difference where the magnets are
positioned in relationship to where the motor brushes are positioned.

So, if a line is drawn through the center of the two diametrically
opposed field magnets, should a line drawn between the opposed

brushes be inline or perpendicular to the line through the magnets?

Thanks for your help, Al

Re: [EVDL] GM Killed The (Bolt) Electric Car : GM only sellingBolt in CA ...

2016-11-21 Thread tomw via EV
/"Chart 63 says they have known reserves for 150 years."/

Exxon Mobile has energy reserves for many years, that is true, but that
doesn't mean they can maintain current production rates for that number of
years. Production rate is what is important, not reserves. The production of
oil is like a huge river constantly flowing to supply the power, energy per
unit time, required to run the "labor saving" devices, like trucks and
bulldozers, that enable our standard of living. The required flow is
determined by the global population and "standard of living". Increasing
either requires an increase in oil production, the flow of the river.  

A number like "150 years of reserves" usually is based on the current
standard of living and global population, i.e. current usage rates, but
these are both increasing exponentially as "undeveloped" countries become
more developed, particularly China and India. Some people say that the
population growth rate in the undeveloped countries is the problem, but
around 20 people in a country with higher birth rates like Pakistan or
Nigera use about as much oil as 1 person in the U.S., so actually our
smaller population growth rate has a larger effect on oil consumption.

/"He said that a mile down there's oil under every state in the union. They
just haven't developed a good way to get it and it costs over a million
dollars to drill that deep."/

Oil companies have been drilling much more than a mile below the sea floor
in deep water in the GoM (Gulf of Mexico) for many years, which is much more
difficult and expensive than drilling that depth on land.  Those wells cost
hundreds of millions.  Why would they incur that extra cost if they could
just drill to the same depth on land for much lower cost?  Also, Exxon Mobil
has had record spending on exploration for the past 5 years or so, but their
new discoveries have been way down. They recently cut back on exploration
for new oil fields for that reason, and have put more emphasis on natural
gas. Why would that be the case if oil is so plentiful under the continental
U.S.?

/"The Bakkan field in North Dakota, for example, contains up to 500 billion
barrels of oil, more than twice the known oil deposits of Saudi Arabia."/

It is well know that most of the "sweet spots", those offering higher
production rates, in the Bakken have already been drilled.  The "decline
rate" (rate of production decline) in the Bakken is very high, with
production from a well dropping by over 90% in 3 years on average. After 3
years most of those wells are "stripper wells" producing on the order of 10
barrels per day.  That, and the higher cost of fracking, is why production
of "tight oil" is much more expensive than from conventional wells, many
more wells have to be sunk to produce a given volume of oil.  Production
from these wells is not at all like conventional oil wells, and will be less
attractive as they are forced to move to drilling in the less "sweet" spots
of the fields.

/"The oil under the sands of Saudi Arabia is far easier, and therefore less
costly, to extract than the oil pocketed under rock beneath North Dakota."/

You have to drill through rock to reach all oil deposits, but conventional
oil fields are typically in much more porous rock under salt domes which
hold it in place. There is no need to "frac", fracture, the oil-containing
rock.  Just drilling down through the dome to penetrate the porous
oil-containing rock is all that is required since the oil flows much more
freely through that more porous rock due to the pressure on it from the rock
above - producing the "gushers" of east Texas long ago.  That is why "tight
oil" is more expensive to produce.  In response to low oil prices producers
have found a number of ways to reduce costs, such as fracking multiple lines
from a given drilling platform, but except for in the sweetest spots it is
still more expensive to produce than conventional oil.

Also keep in mind that typically less than 50% of OIP (oil in place) is
recovered, even with EOR (enhanced oil recovery) techniques such as water or
CO2 injection in conventional oil fields, so there will always be oil left
in the ground, but that oil won't do us any good. Some have gone as high as
70% but that is not the norm.  Companies have revisited older fields to
squeeze more oil out with EOR techniques depending on the market price of
oil.  A bit like re-mining the "dumps" of old gold mines to extract a bit
more when gold prices are high enough to make it economic.

/"Most of the oil fields under the North American continent were discovered
long ago. The Bakkan field, for example, was discovered back in 1951. The
reason why we import oil from South America and the Middle East instead of
producing our own right here is a matter of cost."/

Most of the known oil fields in the WORLD were discovered long ago ( see
e.g. Hubbert’s Peak, The Impending World Oil Shortage by Kenneth S. Deffeyes

2016-11-21 Thread Cor van de Water via EV
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.

Hi folks
I'm curious if this is normal. I just sold my Ghia evalbum.com/4346 on
EBay for $3335.  The guy doesn't ask anything about EV operation when I've
sent a fair amount of info. I just get misspelled notifications like the
transporters will be soon pick up. Last night I was requested to give my
pay pal account number which I replied with my email address was all he
needed to pay or click on the ad to pay by PayPal. Now he says he's
mailing a bank check instead.  When I call his number I just get some
breathing and then hung up several times.  He doesn't appear to be an EV
enthusiast but hopefully the check will be ok.
I'm buying a Chevy Spark EV in Maryland Friday to go along with my Leaf.

Re: [EVDL] Selling an EV on EBay

2016-11-21 Thread Cor van de Water via EV
Hi Mark,
There are some red flags that you are often warned about, such as using
a check or money order from abroad that appears legit on first sight,
but two or 3 weeks later your bank calls that the piece of paper is
worthless.
The most often occurring form of that scam was that they sent you a too
large payment, to cover the cost of shipment and honest sellers would
send the buyers a personal check or cash for the overage. So, after all
was said and done, they were out of their car, and shipping costs and
whatever cash or check they sent to the buyer, only left with a
worthless piece of paper.
So, if the type of payment you receive is not a guaranteed type of
payment (please ask your bank to confirm!) then you must wait a
*loong* time before even shipping your vehicle!

That said, it is possible that a (foreign?) buyer absolutely wants to
have a nice looking Ghia and then 3 grand is a bargain, EV or not. So,
it is possible that it simply is someone with more money than
realization of what an EV is, he simply wants a nice looking car and
someone will take care that it runs
I hope you find out soon what the intent of the buyer is!
