1850 peak volts!!!! wow, how much it the transformer you are going to need to step it back down to a usable 120/240? or is it for a really big Tesla coil?

now that I slow down and read the post I understand. the other nite I was reading and drinking to fast.

check the date of my last post, it was over a year and a half ago. I have NO batteries to give this year. Sorry but I don't aven know if I am going to be able to go home this year

It's all good, going to be a dad again X2

what are deviled olives?

goto pep boys and check out there under carriage lighting kits. I got one for $79 and it had 2-48", 2-36" and 1-7" LED strips with a controller. You can change color, blink different pulses, all different kinds of settings. Two of those kits should do for a MV of that size.

I do have something in the works, I started it about three years ago and it kind of got put on hold. Now I hope to get working on it again with the extra room.
Thanks to all the kind remarks on the original "mike bike" the new will be even better.

ding.ding.ding.ding we have a winner. bdeywoo you can come pick up your prize.

my # was 16

no last min. guesses?

one more thing. one of the spindles broke off on the way out there two years ago, I patched it for the week but it broke on the way home.
I just never got around to fixing it again. It is an easy fix just never got around to it.

I will post the winner on here at 8:30 am tomorrow.

anyone who wants it and can come pick it up this weekend, sat. or sun. will have to pick a number between 1 and 20. the one who comes closest gets it .
I am thinking, still thinking.........

ok, I got a number.... go

three can sit side in the chair,
I have had five people one it.

bob, thanks for getting the pic. up.

toolmaker, I dont know how much it would be to ship but I would guess way too much.

the bike is powered by 4 gell batteries running two wheel chair moters controlled by a joystick.

OK, so the pic. did'nt work. My avatar is the MV I am getting rid of.

I am running out of room and my bike is going to have to go. Before I cut it up I wanted to see if anyone was interested in giving it a new home. http://images.burningman.com/index.cgi?image=27294&results=27688,27686,27641,27628,27618,27589,27527,27502,27490,27487,27426,27425,27417,27410,27398,27385...

Phil,

have you tried some of the under carriage running lights for cars? You can get them in fluorescent or LED and they are very efficient. the LEDs can be solid or blinky. What kind of lights did you have on your bike, the ones in the newspaper pic?

I don't know what it cost. It came with the truck.

you people do know the honda and yamaha supper quiet generators are inverters right? They produce 12v then run that into an inverter.
I have a 1000w pure sine inverter in my truck and it puts out the cleanest 120v I'v seen on any other inverter or EU series gererators.

this year the batteries are not as plentifull. I will should be able to pick up some in about a few weeks but not like last year. I will keep you posted.

mdmf, the "whole premise" of a strobe is a flashing light. True, most modern strobes use a capacitor. and a zenon bulb. Voltage is in the 1000 range. I have maintained airfield lighting for a large airport and the ones we worked with got to about 50,000v to light a 300,000,000 candle power bulb. He ...

how much is a "hindred" again?

you could just build a box to put the light you have inside with a hole for it to shine out, then put a round disc with holes in it over the hole where your light is and spin the disc. you control the speed of the "strobe" with the speed of the disc.

sorry unjon, but it is 55 mph this is taken from the CA vehicle code " The maximum speed limit on most California highways is 65 mph. You may drive 70 mph where posted. Unless otherwise posted, the maximum speed limit is 55 mph on two-lane undivided highways and for vehicles towing trailers. " I agr...

CA. does not have a 45 mph towing law. Read the signs, autos with trailers and trucks are limited to 55 mph.

I found a web site for the batteries and they are 94 amp-hour

Is a 50 amp-hour battery a battery that will run a 1 amp device for 50 hours?

I have these gell cells that are 180 min. runtime with a 25 amp draw. so would that make these 75 amp-hour batteries?

180 min.= 3hours
is 3 hours @ 25 amp draw the same as 75 hours @ a 1 amp draw?

I have been having problems with returning PM so if you could give me an e-mail or phone # in the PM, it would make thing alot easier.

just picked up another load of batteries

first load has come and gone.I will get another 10 to 20 in about two weeks, PM me if you are interested and I will give you info and address.

I have posted this offer for the last few years but this year has had so many takers I have had to limit everyone to only 4.
