PA50II Revival.

Thinking about a few things lately, namely concerning the various projects sitting around in various states of completion. The first one being and old 78 Honda PA50II rolling Chase i have rotting away in my garage. the frame is in rather good condition the gas engine sitting on vat of oil on my shelf and the lack of engine mount tabs that ended up tearing off do to my fault.

It is a nice little beast prime for a electric conversion... that is if i ever get around to purchasing a DC motor for it, building a battery cage and a decent curtis speed controller.

Vietnamese Spring roll fetish.

My better half has been on a raw food diet kick the last month. Its only natural that i've tried a few things she makes and or get inspired to prepare a few things that we can both consume.

Drum roll please..... Enter the Vietnamese spring roll with traditional translucent rice skin wrapper.

wow!

Motor-bicycle project update

I finally got the bike back up and operational, theirs a few tweeks i am going to be wanting to do to improve performance in the next few week on traditional gasoline/petro fuel source.

So far so good and a ton of thanks from www.motorbicycling.com forum member "The_aleman" for hooking me up with the correct bushing part number and suggestion to grab a bin washer to keep the new 4G transmission together.


Considering a few ideas i want to look into are as follows.

#1. Wood/coal gas fuel reactor. Either small enough to build onboard the bike, or feasibly have on a cargo trailer.

#2. GEET Fuel processor. Promising, but i am still a little weary seeing the whole snake oil aspect around the discoverer of the technology.

#3. Waste Vegetable oil fuel's. very optimistic about this, problem is i will need a whole new power plant/engine. These smaller diesel engines are not cheap, these beasts easily go for $250-600. and would classify me under a motorcycle, not very much looking forward to have to plate, have inspected, and insure another experimental vehicle. My understanding it is very much a pain to get a VIN etc assigned to a Frankenstein.

Federal issued Trojan horses/rootkits.

I was racking my brain over a recent article i found on my favorite website "/." today. Found one among a few interesting articles.

Sounds like the German police force recently engineered and actively uses "legal" rootkits to gather inelegance on suspects. From the first few paragraphs of the article they spun it in a very disturbing way as it sounds like it can be used per say as a breach/bridge device opening up unumberable exploits. http://ccc.de/en/updates/2011/staatstrojaner


In other news as a update in another story concerning US WMD drones are apparently all infected with DOD grade keyloggers. the article go's on to state that its feasible more shadowy hands of the DOD may have intentionality infected the beasty's as a form of Military monitoring. http://tech.slashdot.org/story/11/10/09/057243/predator-drone-virus-could-be-militarys-own-monitoring

Motorized Bicycles/Moped obsession

I have been at this project for quite a few years. I am actually one
of the first guys in omaha to play around with these kits, so far its
been one heck of a hobby. Still rocking my original TREK frame, Its
probably about time i strip it down and redo the paint on the bike
frame and possibly do a little modifications to the bicycle frame like
welding in permy engine mounts so i can start rocking some rubber
bushings to cut down on engine vibration.
This current engine i am using is Chinese 50cc Honda clone. aka the HS
49cc 4/8ths crank shaft.
I got about a month and a half on the stock gearbox as you can see in
the attached web album before i had a serious malfunction in the stock
HOOT gearbox. I ended up doing a few other projects putting this
current project on the back burner until about a three weeks ago when
i ordered a replacement 4/G gearbox, new honda recoil starter and the
grubee HD axel (currently waiting lacing and installation).
Among some of my other similar projects i will be starting my Atomic
Zombie Long ranger electric motorcycle soon (if i dont get distracted
by some other nieve shiny new project).
Allready have the 1kw hub front hub motor, two brand new lead acid
battery, donor bicycle frames, and some angel iron for welding up the
custom battery box.
What ill be need now is nice DC speed controller, and possibly some
assistance in fabbing this all together. I have the PDF from AZ and a
entry level mig welder and all the safety gear. Might be cool to also
built a charge into it along with some solar panels that would fold
out at work to trickle charge the battery bank.
Here is my moped gallery.

Brain augmentation/upgrades becoming reality.

You might think this could be considered a little creepy. I find it absolutely exhilarating concerning the possibilities artificial brain implants/augmentation in this article brings to light.
