I have been visiting NYC at least twice a year for the last decade, but covid got in the way. I didn't shoot too much video as I was really busy but here are a few bits of my 2 week trip.
FAQ:
1) Where can learn more about batteries? http://j35.us/DIYlithiumBatteryBook
2) Where can I buy Lithium Batteries https://jag35.com/collections/lithium-batteries
4) Where Can I buy Solar Panels? https://amzn.to/3EqEywK
5) Where can I buy a Battery Management System https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_AAgcFQ
6) What parts do you use on your Samba? https://j35.us/eSambaParts
8) Why not use Supercapacitors?
A. Batteries work better at this time, caps are rare and expensive devices that are very good at doing things not needed for storage systems typically.

We're about to get the expressway there we go in manhattan first time. In two years i mean new york city seems to be back to his old self. I mean look at all these people. It's a lot of traffic, a lot of people.

Yes, it's a saturday night but nobody's wearing masks there we go. This is what uh east coast shop looks like so, okay, you found that because that those are like, i know, so i got it from dwl. Ah, you know them is that, like in australia or something no, it's in uh, czech um, oh man, something eastern european, i forgot already ah yeah. I could pull it up.

Well, wait! So so did you check the the date because they're not making these anymore? Are they probably not? No, i think it's probably like an old uh, probably not you all, stuck probably yeah, probably which is okay, because that's what you got in the car, i guess right yeah. Let me pull it up. What is it a 200? A 260. a 260.: this is it right here: okay, gwl, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, okay! I always thought they were australian.

No, no! Okay! So you know they're good customer service and they're. They do respond and it's pretty good. But i had a wire transfer and i had to pay for shipping so you're talking. So this was 330 yeah.

Guess how much the shipping was 350 yeah yeah yeah! That's usually that's so stupid! Yes, you know, but i had to get it because you're the only place it's either that or you give up on the car or you replace the entire body. This is the thing i don't want to upgrade this car. I realized it was fun. It was a nice idea and i'll show you, the car yeah we'll go over there.

I don't want to upgrade it. I just want to get it back on the road drive it yeah, yeah and then i'll, and then i'm going to sell it to somebody who thinks it's a cool idea. You know now so another sucker down the line. Well, it's like jay leno says it's like you: don't really own the car you're sort of the caretaker for a while, well yeah, you're temporarily, because yeah the car's gon na be here you're gon na you're, just passing by exactly um okay.

So then the bms! Oh, that's like a homebrew, bmw, yeah. Well, it's it's! The it's thunder sky! So these go on top of the battery each one of these and then they all tether back and they talk to this guy. Who decides? Why didn't they make a higher quality? Come on man, i don't even know any 2012 2012.. I know, but these are like almost not.

Everybody can be as good as you homemade, i'm saying, i'm the loser who doesn't know anything. I can make better you've been saying that since i met you you're like ah, what do i know meanwhile, but yeah? That's. There is a point where you are the expert look. This is a home brew like yeah uh board like they, they probably did it on a this is a schematic.

That's the schematic! Okay! Really, how did you do? You wrote that so i i hired a a a like a college, kid okay, to help me to help me, because i can't do all this. I got a day job. You have a day job, so i had him draw the whole thing and then we i'll pull it up and it's just a five five, five yeah, it's a five five, five: two: how do they use the timer? For i don't know what is this thing? What is the timer? Can you tell me well that just keeps time it thinks an oscillator, i think really just yeah it's just keeping, and then you can use the according to the circuit. Then you could tell it like to oscillate a certain speed.
This is it right here. This is how it functions. Okay, j1 is 12 volts coming in okay. Okay, then, just basically tell this tells the the charger to turn on or off so it says so: j1 you're getting 12 volt, then j, uh j3 um.

That tells us the control input relay that talks. To that says, controller turn on. Oh, i see cc. Okay, then j2 forget about it all right.

So this is it put it on super slow. This guy doesn't have very good motor skills. I've seen him. I had trouble with your skateboard, yes actually slowly, but you see you have the problem over here.

If i give it a helmet or not, don't go fast, dude. The first time i met him, we rented bikes in new york and we went downhill, seven bikes, home sleeping yeah, and we just - and he took me down the busiest one of the busiest like streets in new york city. It was wild dude, i'm like night time is not a good night nah. It doesn't look that great, especially if you go to super wide you're like the super white sucks, oh terrible, all right there we go, but look at the look at this zoom though yeah.

It's almost insane bam. Oh, don't let us over. What are you doing psycho so uh? What's the next feed, this is the maximum! No! No! But this is, if you call the ghost like 45 47. Oh wow right just go in here it has slow start.

So it's safe, don't fall. Yeah, don't fall. I mean i was not living without helmet. I was enjoying, but um tomorrow or next day.

We have free time. Let's you know it's uh yeah. What do you think pass the test? Oh yeah! This is great. It's like good snowboard, snowboard, that's friday right monday morning.

Let's go time to start all right. The net gain motor is here, look at that net gain hyper 9 and then the control, that's a huge box for the controller, it's crazy! It's that heavy pallet stuff! You worked your magic and it got here all right put the set screw there to hold the key lock tight, so it doesn't work itself out and of course, this is a regular uh interference fit right. This is a coupler uh. You have to cook it in a little oven there and then, after it gets to what 200 degrees or something to set it.

Well, yeah. We heated it up to 450, just to make it happen, quicker, 415. um and that expanded the metal yeah and now after a while it shrinks up and it's tightening there you want. Well, this is the top yeah.

This is the top, so here's the top so yeah. We could do this. The cash all right. These guys, are having all the fun they're doing the time lapse.
The moving time lapse. You see what you can. Oh that's great. I, like it, it's gon na, be a great time lapse.

I remember the old days when i used to play with camera equipment. Now i just shoot with my phone. Here's the star of the show man hey. You did great by the way you're a great guy.

That was good. I'm trying to give you some of the new york styling forget about it forget about it. You.
