I get three images. Two outer ones with enough steel to keep BHP happy and a centre one of unobtainium weighing less than half the weight.

Damn - now I can't see properly...weber wrote:

Thanks Neville. I must admit I have only heard from one other person who can see these, Jeff Owen. It may help to be farsighted, since what you have to do is to converge your eyes on a point that is between you and the screen, but without focussing there. Your plane of focus still has to be at the screen. In normal seeing these two things are not separate, so it can take a while to learn to separate them.Nevilleh wrote: The trials and tribulations of the EV maker!

Total Rear Front Distribution Rear:Front Unladen 1380 kg 692 kg 688 kg 50:50 Driver only 1460 kg 741 kg 719 kg 51:49 Fully laden 1580 kg 835 kg 745 kg 53:47There are severe constraints on what numbers of cells we can have, due to the requirement to have two equal half-packs (for the dual chargers, heaters and DC-DC converters) and the desire to not split any boxes between half-packs or remove any cells from any box except the rearmost. But we do have a fallback position with 202 cells, where we remove another 16 cells from the rear (we have already removed 24 from the rear). These are worth about 2 kg per cell including steelwork and ancillary electricals.
You are so right! Well spotted. Fixed now. Thanks, 7circle!7circle wrote: Great build description W & C.
Just wondering if Charger A Pos should link to Controller Pos.

Hee hee. Coulomb's wording was misleading. It was only a pair of contactor boxes that was 99% completed. Not the whole car. Sigh. At least those two contactor boxes are now 100% completed.Renard wrote:coulomb wrote: * 99% completed
Ahh that last 1%.
Ha! It does look like that, but in fact the bonnet stay is a cold-bending work of art by Jeff Owen. He bent and rebent it until it had the standard (for this project) 0.5 mm clearance from all obstacles, in both the upright and folded positions (and yes, along the path in between, tortuous though it may be). It fits neatly between the battery box and the WaveSculptor when folded.Johny wrote:It looks like one day you'll look at each other and pronounce it finished and there won't be enough room to stow the bonnet stay.
