As the summer winds down…
So I know the quality of these posts has degraded since the summer began (too much travelling), however while I work on a killer new post about how to construct a heliostat, complete with sweet math equations and all, I thought I would post a link to a great new site I found: Ecomodder.com .
For instance at ecomodder.com one can learn about the fine art of hypermiling… or is that a sport? Either way you know it’s a cool forum when the signature for many of the posters lists their best ever mileage for one tank and the furthest distance they’ve ever driven on one tank.
In a further piece of random news, when I get back to CO I want to make a bike like this…
Last, in this post, if you have an old motorcycle that no longer works please email me, I want to convert an old motorcycle into an electric cycle.

I’ve seen a few of those around Boulder. What’s supposed to be advantage of a bike like that?

I think the main advantages is the configuration of your body lends it self to:
1.) potentially better aerodynamics
2.) more efficient and stronger pedalling
They’re also renowned for being much more comfortable than a regular bike, the reclined position being more natural than the hunched over position.
