They do, it's not super clear though

Prices are just wacky. As are marketing guru explained the price of something has zero correlation to cost, quality etc. and 100% correlation with what the market is willing to pay. A1 electronics had a huge stash of the Integrated Plastics style that slide together, they were good quality. I...

We live in a bungalow, it has a 400A service, 200 for the house and 200A was for the pool heater that is no more (pool removed). I picked up a new in the box 200A panel on Kijiji for $100 and had an electrician divert the old pool feed to the new 200A panel in the garage. The electrician used...

Yes, that's mine, put it together a few years back. It's a Buffalo drill press. You can see the actuator in $50 solution in post #11 above. The collar that use to support the table in now near the bottom supporting the black nylon block that the actuator sits on. Basically milled a hole same...

Another action video, this time of the linear actuator for the drill press. Compared to lifting or cranking, flipping the switch is just fun. This method is dead simple about an hour to make/install...

Initially I was going to drive the old hand crank spindle, however that would have been useless accuracy wise because of the lash in the gears. It turned out on my knee mill there was enough space in the knee and it was quite easy to implement. I can jog or moves as requested to within 0.001" ...

With all the bias and spin these days, who knows. What I do know for sure is there is a whole lot of parts (entire exhaust system, transmission is some cases, hundreds of parts in the actual ICE) that simply don't exist in a EV, and so they can't break if there not there. In general people fear...

There is very little I miss since moving out of the GTA, but A1 is definitely one of them, I really miss my regular visits there, like a kid in a candy store.

Completely agree, however: - for a typical city commuter existing batteries work just fine. - advertising hype aside (450 miles per charge), actual cold weather range of > 400km per charge is on par with most existing I.C. cars. I'm retired, on average I drive about 100-200km per week. The...

Good test, thanks for posting. Reminds me of the time way way back when some guy with a twin turbo rice rocket challenged me to a dig. I asked him how much HP does that thing make and he proudly told me 300HP, how about you, I lied "about 300" I was 10 cars ahead by 2nd gear. At the next light...
