awesome!
I am currently building my battery boxes so I loved seeing what you have done, very inspirational. In Australia the rules (ncop 14) in the national code of practice prohibit some things such as tampering with chassis rails and the forces the mention for battery restraint when calculated in real terms mean dropping the car from 6 meters on it's roof and not having the batteries come out. I thought of aluminium but the shear strength and cracking fatigue made me go for light guage steel I scavenged from the back of a motorcycle shop, it was used for the packing crates the bikes come in and is smaller angle than I can buy here. I had underestimated how much effort it would take to design and make the boxes, and the time spent just lying under the car figuring. I can understand what went into this and people this guy is a legend! I can't wait to start doing some of the tests you did, great posts thanks! If we just grass roots convert the old bangers we have a revolution, let alone if we charge with a rankine cycle solar generator or syngas, or...big ups from down under, and a pat on the back hearty handshake and a (virtual) hug
