New miniserver incoming & homemade Electric Bike
Thursday, November 5th, 2009New miniserver incoming
This isn’t really EV stuff but it’s a bit ECO-friendly. I’m building a mini server for some home use, based on the INTEL D945GSEJT AtomN270 mini-ITX motherboard which has a estimated power consumption as low as 20W with a ordinary hard drive. I’m going for a completely silent system with no moving parts, therefor the harddrive is switched out for a 16Gb CF card. More when the motherboard arrives!
Ps. a 60W power supply and the CF-to-SATA-adapter is on it’s way from china…
Homemade Electric Bike
A friend of mine told me he has something to show me, and later arrived on his…
Homemade electric bike! A really impressive build with it’s 1000W (yes three zeros) motor and regenerative braking. Currently powered with lead acid batteries but LiPO might be on the way in!
Check out his blog here and the bike here.
