Re: 11.5Vdc / 12Vdc to 12.5Vdc/13Vdc

My thoughts on this problem lead me to the tank pump at best a totally insane design- toss it and use a high capacity inline pump. Do your injectors have orifices desig...

Re: Reversing Rotation of 115V Table Saw Motor

Dean: Anyone who uses a 1 hp saw and has replaced the motor in it should be aware of the danger presented by the use of it, as well as that of rotating belts and pulleys. My saw uses standard nuts for the arbor as well as every other saw i have used. Sometimes you need something to work so you can f...

Re: Building PV cells vs. Buying

you can build them at home using copper that has been oxidized but not for 4 bucks/watt. Check out edmund scientific they sell broken ones that can be worked on for a little less if i remember right.

Re: Power Supply

I you could remove the regulator from a gm. alternator and design a voltage regulator for it. But they are rated for about 1.5 kw. max. 45v@ 90 amps=^ 4.5 kw. smoke time! If you look around some surplus websites you may find a surplus high capacity alternator for a reasonable price.
