Hey Jack,

You continue to amaze. That ones a beaut! Let us know what your test results are.

Another nice build indeed. Tell me, what about the coils that are already on your other units. Would they fit this new model? If not what is the AWG and approximate lengths required. Mag wire is widely available via Ebay.

Hey just saw a report on CNN - at the University of Wisconsin they have made a breakthrough using stem cells from ALS patients that was then re-injected into the brain of the patient to ward off the progression. Hmmmmm.

Keep well.

Hello wattsup,

Could you tell me more about the stem cell for ALS patients.   Maybe I could be a test patient.


I found a bucket of wire that is 16 AWG.   I'll try that first.   I think it may be the right size.  I'll let you know.   And know the other coils would not fit. I made the coil forms a little larger than I use to make sure the magnets work out OK.

I want to thank everybody for the donations.   I now have enough to pay the government off.  Thank you very much.

WAY TO GO PEOPLE!!!!!!

I'm so happy for you Jack. Another load lifted.
I read about the stem cell injections a few years back and the results were very good. Don't know who's doing this but a google search might uncover someone with knowledge of this technology.

Best wishes for good health,

Carl

Battery tech is just not there yet for storage...as I need to get about 80 miles per day..(more even better).to be safe...current tech is around  30-40 miles per day without recharge...

You might want to investigate the Diesel-electric hybrid buses being developed in Rio de Janeiro brazil, and more specifically, the  high output/input capacitors they use in this diesel electric hybrid buses instead of batteries. As you know, lead acid and other batteries in use today just cannot handle the constant, high amperage charge/discharge cycles an electric motor driven vehicle places on them.

Also, you may want to investigate building an ethanol burning modified diesel engine to run a generator to charge these capacitors (a system similar to these Brazilian hybrid buses except much smaller)

Because ethanol has a very high octane rating, diesel engines modified to run compression ratio's of about 28:1 (a regular diesel is about 18:1) take full advantage of ethanol's superior performance characteristics, producing high power and excellent fuel efficiency, plus virtually emission free operation.  Gas spark type engines, modified to run at higher compression ratio's of around 18:1 also  produce  much more HP and run much more efficiently than regular gasoline engines, and the multi-fuel cars being built in the USA today to use either gasoline or E85 ethanol.

The reason those multi fuel cars don't perform as well on ethanol as they could is because they can't take advantage of the high compression ratio's and advanced timing ethanol is able to run on. Compression ratio's have to be kept low in order for them to run properly on the crappy unleaded  regular gasoline made today to meet EPA standards.  The government (EPA) is more interested in emissions than performance. They can achieve these tighter emission standards by adding more and more ethanol to gasoline. While E10 generally improves exhaust emissions without any performance or fuel mileage loss, higher blends, like E25- E50 can cause problems such as water separating from the gasoline  in cooler temps, plus fuel mileage begins to suffer because Ethanol just doesn't perform well in low compression engines.

E85 doesn't have these water separation problems, but unless run in high compression engines with modified ignition systems to take full advantage of the properties of ethanol, fuel mileage suffers by about 3-5  MPG in a flex-fuel car.

Why American car manufacturers don't make a high compression ethanol only engine, which would produce much  higher performance AND higher fuel mileage than a regular gas engine, I just don't know. E85 is available in many states, and the list grows every year.

Personally, I would go for an  modified ethanol burning diesel  which would run the generator to charge the capacitors. Combined with electric recovery brake system like these brazillian buses use, you could make a fairly efficient hybrid electric car.

I use a lot of ethanol in my stock race cars and snowmobile race engines, (my expensive hobby). Because of the high price of gas now ( here in Canada it's about $6.50 a gallon)  I  rebuilt a 4cyl. engine,  (17:1 compression ratio ethanol beast) to replace the gas burning engine in my Nissan 4x4 pick up.  Not only does it have more than twice the horse power, I get  34 miles per gallon on ethanol, compared to the 23 mpg  I was getting on gas.  I buy bulk ethanol by the 55 gal drum, which I pay $2.62 a gallon for. Much cheaper than gasoline. And it smells much better, just like at the race track.

Almost forgot- here's a link that might help you get started locating those capacitors from brazil

The super capacitors and manufactured by a company called Tavrima Super capacitors
