I've been meaning to post something about these for a while. Jim builds motors for EV hobbiests on the side - one of his cooler creations is the siamese electric motor.

Yup, more EV stuff today. This car [Cache mirror]is just so impressive that I think it's definitely worthy. The car is a Birkin S-3 reproduction kit.

This one's pretty simple, but anyone who's ever spent time tweaking an engine will appreciate it. [Kevin]'s been using a wiimote to measure the acceleration of his car.

OBD-II became the mandatory I/O diagnostic port on cars starting around 1996 in the US. Considering that the interface consists of a couple of I/O lines, serial/usb adapters have been ridiculously expensive for quite a while - especially newer USB versions.

While I'm waiting for my last stepper motor, I've been pondering my electric motorcycle build. While eyeballing batteries, I ran across a really impressive human/electric recumbent bike project.

According to the completely authoritative sources of youtube and metacafe, you can extend the range of your car remote by holding the remote to your head.

[Gary]'s built some nice AVR projects. The most interesting is the charge controller/monitor he built for his EV Porsche. Each board controls a charger - with one charger per battery.

This is almost a lack of hack, but it bugs me. In 2006, Toyota changed the video interface on the Prius LCD display. The new system uses GVIF (Gigabit Video InterFace) rather than RGBs as before.

I'm getting pretty interested in building an electric motorcycle, and I ran across this little hack to charge multiple batteries with one charger.

Most of us settle for modding the latest car we've bought. [Steve Graber] took another approach and built his own car from scratch. [John] sent in this impressive project.
