Thanks! Greetings from Oregon!

LOL

Winter tires are for temperatures below 7 C. Some are better on snow, some are better on ice. Most are better than all-seasons.

I don't think it makes much of a difference on a closed ice surface. On snow and thin ice definitely but in this case I wouldn't know.

This is our driveway and it slopes into the garage but the car and driver are from across the street!

I'm not sure what you're asking. These were objects that I made using Nomad Sculpt then I imported them into Blender and made this video in Blender.

@@zapaholic And can you tell how you did it?

@@SaMeeRX00 I don't have any videos showing you how to use Nomad Sculpt or Blender but if you search TH-cam for those 2 programs you should be able to find many videos on how to do this. It would be pages of text for me to be able to explain the use of both of these programs.

I just checked mine, 15A @250V. Did you get the Gintooyun or something different because 50 watts sure doesn't seem right.

Thanks!

Thanks!

True, and if you watched the whole video you would see it doesn't matter if you have a 3d printer or not.

Thanks Jason.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I was fully aware of what was included when I purchased the EB3A and so far it has lived up to it's promised performance.

I just got back from Costco with the trailer loaded with 61lbs of items and it worked great!

Thanks Jason, I took some photos and video but all those photos belong to D.,she was snapping away and I was waiting for people to get out of the way. That exhibit is pretty cool, I wish I had more time to shoot some of it.

The name was changed from Gypsy moth to Spongy moth to be more politically correct.

​@@zapaholic 🤣

​@zapaholic I guess the Gypsy moths complained.

​@@Frank-pj2tb 😅

Nice, how many volts and how do you keep it charged?

Portland, Oregon... not a lot of lightning happens here.

@@zapaholic Im in western Washington we also had some lightning on the 4th of May so i thought this was in Washington too lol

@@deffycool we're definitely in the same area, good intuition!

I have a longer video on the generator although it's not a great video. th-cam.com/video/mghllO85Hig/w-d-xo.html If you need a hand with anything give me a shout and good luck.

The eb3a is a waste of time

Thanks... will ya!

Thank you❣

Thanks!

There are a lot of different motors that would work and produce usable energy. The treadmill motor I used just happened to work very well and was fairly easy to add to the bike stand. Just now I've found almost a dozen free treadmills listed on Nextdoor and Facebook Marketplace and those are good places to look for cheap bike stands.

i have one that goes over 100v would that be enough?

Jim e, I doubt there are many people around who would want to do something like that. I guess if I had hundreds of dollars worth of meat or something in the fridge and had no other alternatives, I might be able to do that. I never ran the fridge long enough to see how much wattage it uses when it's in the defrost cycle but I know when that's running it typically draws much more power. I did another video a while ago and it's mainly about the pedal generator. I may have to see if I still have it and post it. Thanks for the comment!

@@zapaholic 👌

Jennifer, if you Google "pedal generator" you should be able to find a dozen or so people selling them although they seem to be pretty pricey!

Thanks James, I wish I could take credit for it. Probably over 50 years ago I read about a guy doing this in Popular Mechanics or Popular Science and wanted to try it. He had the same idea as you... As I recall, he let his kids watch as much TV on Saturday morning as they wanted as long as they pedaled the bike generator he built and charged up the batteries enough.

@@zapaholic that’s awesome

No matter how you manage to physically create electricity and put it in a battery or even use it up without a battery, it's a lot of work. I've also used a treadmill the same way you described and it is hard. Most people have no idea how much effort even 1 watt of power takes to create. Years ago I visited the National Renewable Energy Research Laboratory in Golden, CO and they had a display where you could hand crank a light bulb. Most of the people I watched were quite surprised at the effort required. I suppose I should make a little more detailed video on the generator but it really is a pretty simple setup.

Hi Eric, I've uploaded a video showing the motor's name plate here: th-cam.com/video/RkopifWx-aE/w-d-xo.html

@@zapaholic thank you

Thanks. If you listen at 6:10 in the video I'm shifting to the highest gear. That bike is a Diamondback Edgewood hybrid and in the highest gear it's a 49 tooth driving a 14 tooth on a 700c tire. I haven't tried charging when the EB3A is any lower but I doubt it would change much since you always have an MPPT controller between that input and whatever is supplying the the charge. I'll try to find some time to try it!

I've been experimenting with different solutions and various voltages between 12 and 28 volts to supply the mppt controller of my eb3a. What I find is the way the controller curve in this unit is set up, I always get for more input when the voltage is on the higher end of the input range (20vdc+) I've also noticed that the conroller always seems to slow the charge, no matter what the input, as the battery gets closer to full. This is a good thing, because slowing the charge as the battery reaches full will prolong the lifespan of already amazing liFePo4 batteries. The reason I mention this is, because of the dynamics of the charging curve the controller is providing, it would be interesting to know how much your results would change if you were to run this same test at lower starting depth of discharge on the eb3a; say 50%, which would put the controller in a condition that would allow it to take the max input. Cheers
