    been looking through my manual for my bike....and ive noticed i have a PAS function with my controller. its a 3 pin plug crank sensor i havnt connected as i dont have pedals. the manual isnt much help as to its functioning as its in chinglish. the bike is working perfectly without it but i...

    varaible capacitor (flux cap??)

    my electronical knowledge is falling a bit short here...... i know you can get manually adjustable capacitors.......by turning a knob etc. but is there one thats more like a transistor.....as in no moving parts and capacitance if dependant on an incoming votage/signal. ive been experimenting...

    weirdest spider ever....need help identifying

    nearly flecc. it was somewhere between the two. more like the second one with a mishaped less symetrical body and missing those two weird spikey antlers at the front. guess it was a weird maybe old gnarly version of them then

    weirdest spider ever....need help identifying

    how did you know it was that kind of "fag"??? :D joking aside... ive never had a "sgt peppers" moment or anything close to a hallucination becuase of the green stuff...this spider thing was very real

    Sad death of Cyclotricity Revolver :-( Help choosing a new ebike?

    hang on a second.....you have a perfectly good bike. minus the torque arm sensor and some bearings???? bearings are a few quid each and a twist throttle off of ebay is about 15 quid... then thers the possible few hours to swap/fit them over and youd rather spend over 500 on a brand new bike...

    supercapacitors + battery

    i was just talking about pwm with my friend... he runs an ecig shop and ecigs use pwm... he too confirmed a massive initial powerspike when engaging the ecig (thats why they use li-ion batteries aswell). i used to work for an led street lighting company and im pretty sure the same happened with...

    supercapacitors + battery

    lol......it wouldnt be that interesting.... if youve seen my new front forks ive welded on in another post (springer forks) youve pretty much seen most of it. looks like an old cafe racer now :) the booster packs ive made are just a few capacitos in parrallel with a red a black lead going to...

    supercapacitors + battery

    argh....looks like the chinese cheap parts strrike again. in its favour it does do the job as standard. even with all my new caps im still at half of the minimum needed farads u said id need :S i could add more but as you said diminishing results.... i tried two packs on one battery and the...

    supercapacitors + battery

    thats some interesting stuff........ been out on the road testing and experimenting for a week or so and i thought id update....... its working well :) so there has to be an explanation to it all. i think ive found it not quite sure where the 0.47farad cap in my controller is :s ..... :) the...

    new talktalk adsl router scam

    this is the second adsl router in 3 years talktalk has sent to my father with the notion of it improoving our internet speeds......and it hasnt both has reduced my download speed by 2mbs and my upload by 0.25mbs (old router gets 8mbs DL and 1mbs UL) i therefore am calling this a scam by TALK...

    supercapacitors + battery

    i have done many a playing with caps in the past. ive made gauss rifles, guitar foot pedals and amps, strobe light etc etc. i get the theory behind basic electrical concepts and components. as much as you say it shouldnt work.... it is. so something in the numbers is wrong or missing. ive...

    supercapacitors + battery

    lol you posted while i was typing all that rubbish above.... :) yep you got the video :) the supercaps in that instance are used as i am using my regular caps (in my battery stabilizer).... to protect the battery with a buffer zone. lipos probably need it too (in the car application)... the...

    supercapacitors + battery

    sorry i should of been clearer between amps and amp hours in my ramblings. i think reason i havnt is because im using 20ah batteries and my motor roughly takes 20 amps (at full tilt). meaning i havnt had to really factor in the calculations that require much differenciation between the two...

    supercapacitors + battery

    another way to look at it is the amps side. 48v at 20amps makes the 1000w give or take. thats 20amps per hour so divde 3600 (seconds in an hour) by 20 and you get 0.005263 amps per second so for ten seconds its 0.05263amps. also as i said in above post the battery can still provide this per...

    supercapacitors + battery

    thanks for the info. not quite sure if agree trex. or maybe you think im after some other effects. technically my batteries can provide the 1000w. they just sag in voltage when doing so. i want to use the capacitor to lessen the sag (not much else). so the actually power available to the motor...

    supercapacitors + battery

    hopefully i wouldnt need that many whs. lets say im currently at 1000w. thats 1000watts per hour. an hour has 3600 seconds in it. so per second im using 0.27777watts. i only need a max of ten seconds so 2.7watts. i know the higher C discharge rate from my slas really effect the actual ah you...

    supercapacitors + battery

    wonderfully strange subject here. as always from me :) ive seen a guy on youtube combining supercapacitors with lipos as a lightweight replacement for a car battery. with some very promising results this gave me an idea on how i could possibly boost my SLAs for around £20. at the moment my...

    Schwalbe Crazy Bob

    got myself the above mentioned tyre. heres a vague review of it 14.99 from halfords. suprisignly this was the cheapest i could find one. nice big 2.35" profile. was a right pig to fit, had to use fairy liquid lube and go upto 110 psi with a compressor to get it to pop onto the rim in the end...
