Chet, weve had one of mildest summers so far down here. I think Brad got all the global warming
Funny thing
He mentioned it was 42 C the other day in his shed...
I figured it was just in the shed because it was Tin??
no, he said I was wrong , it was 42C everywhere and that's NORMAL 107 F
Brad did say that its worse up North 50C to 55C at times [122 F 131F :o :o ]
OUCH !! its 1F outside here ATM -17C
Yeah the west is ridiculous. We've only had one 42C day this year
Welcome, love your builds O0

Welcome Mr C!
Slider - what kind of vehicle is that anyway? a Ford? lol
I'd like to slip in a Thank You to our friend LynxSteam - remember his cool joule? etc.?
He's developed a wind-sail air-turbine + generator. Wind power. Tested in cold Michigan yesterday:

It works!
Yes, the VAWT is the way to go. And by using a large diameter rotor having lots of PM's on its circumference you can get higher frequency operation without the need for a step-up geabox. And no slip-rings. And air coils so no core losses.

@Steve - Local Motors are best known for their Rally Fighter 4x4. Big tough stuff. Based in Phoenix, AZ and founded in 2007.
However, they are very novel, building an online community for vehicle designs, where people vote, encourage and support ideas into production. People generally build their own car/bike/whatever from a rolling chassis that Local Motors builds for them.
On their homepage is a 3D printed car !

Ideal company for an electric car project...when I win the lottery lol
Lynx's VAWT's are great. He's developed some amazing designs from tiny to 5ft wide.
Sorry to derail a little Mr.Caribbean, but I think that with the talented people here we can drive straight through some energy problems, like a cold North wind :)
