[JAGNUTS] Help..Project X 1/9

[Thomas Archer]

Ken,
I realize I'm still the newbie to the group(the Land Rover guy) and
don't get a chance to visit every Sunday, but I would love to assist
when I can. I have a background in electronics (although I haven't used
that knowledge in quite some time) but if I can lend assistance I think
it would be an interesting project to explore.

Here's a Discovery Channel show that features an electric Series Land
Rover

At least it's British!

Thomas

Well Glen and Bob that is exactly the help that I am interested in,
expertise and non-experts alike are welcome I am sure that your
contributions will be valuable just the same. I have had some short
discussions with Gerard today and he has helped just by asking some
questions and reaffirming some suspicions that I already had and has
pointed
me in a direction of some possible parts already.  So I am one step
closer
to completion already.

Before I get started on the actual work I will need to sort out my tools
and
get the shop straightened out ..I started last week and will make some
more
room this weekend. Right now things are a bit tight but getting there,
I
will email you both later on using your home address so as not to flood
the
forum with too much chatter about my project.

Thanks for your offer

I volunteer to heckle and supervise.  My technical skills at a
conversion
such as this may be a bit wanting (actually counterproductive), but I'll
be
glad to help out as time allows.  Bob

I haven't much clue on this, but I'd love to come play.

Hi all, I am seeking the advice and assistance of any and all Jagnuts in
an
up-and-coming project. This winter I am endeavouring to do an electric
car
conversion on my 79 Fait X 1/9 I hear tell that it is not as hard as it
sounds. I have started my investigation of the process and the search
for
parts and recourses. What I need are some forward thinking individuals
that
would be willing to assist me in a number of ways. 1. Encouragement
2.Technical advice 3. A good sense of reasoning (someone to tell me that
I
am crazy and I shouldnt do that. 4. someone that knows, perhaps where I
might source some cheap parts.

What I have so far: a heated shop to work in, tools (most if not all to
complete the task, what I dont have I will get), resource material, the
donor car, and last but not least an adventurous spirit and a
willingness to
learn something new.

If done correctly this car should be able to travel at least 50 mph and
go
for at least 100 miles between charges.
Ultimately I want to be able to use a solar charging system to make
driving
this car Free.  The possibilities are endless as to where this will go
next.

What I offer in return is obvious, camaraderie, an opportunity to
participate in an interesting project, the occasional glass of the
proper
liquids to stimulate the creative juices, reciprocation of talents (what
few
I have) and resources on your up-and-coming projects, a share in the
credit
upon successful completion of the project.


Anyone interested?
