Hey All,
My name is Chris and I registered for Ecomodders a while back but haven't had time to actually participate until now. I have a couple of things kicking around that I will be trying in the near future, one is a Locost-like vehicle powered by an engine from a small diesel pickup running veg-oil and the other is something along the lines of VW's "1 Liter Car", powered by a smallish motorcycle engine/trans. The way it looks right now, the smaller "1-Liter-like" car will come first just because it will require less raw materials. In any event, I won't be getting started on anything until I have a place to work which will be addressed this coming spring - 3 car garage coming soon! My background is in aviation and as such, I tend toward the simplest approach to deal with things, so I will be trying to avoid engineering an engine management system etc. and will go with low drag and small frontal areas to get results that may not be the best they can be, but will be good enough for me.
Thanks,
Chris
