Updates!

Well school will be starting for me in about one week which means that I dont have much time to work on any major projects. But as far as projects go, the last one that I will be attempting to complete for this summer is converting a brushed RC boat into a brushless RC boat. Most of the parts needed have been either bought or made. Right now im finishing up the paint job and will then move onto the electronics of the boat.

The boat will be powered by five A123: 32113 cells which deliver about 3.6 Volts each. The motor is a 2900kv brushless motor thats anodized pink. I have added an aluminum watercooling sleve to reduce the motor temperatures and to make the motor look cooler. As I begin to finnish up the project I will post pictures and eventually the whole process.

In other news, the BWD Electric Scooter has been completed and has successfully passed its maiden test run. Click the link in the side bar to go to the website!

More updates soon!

Aquarium Update

Humphrey, my blue lobster, has molted a second time and has successful destroyed all plants in my tank. If I want an aquascape I may need to buy another tank, without a blue lobster. In other news, the new lights are working wonderfully, I now have a nice layer of algae growing on the hood glass and a few spots on the regular glass. Time for some extreme cleanup!

More updates soon!! Happy fishkeeping!
