She was going to be an astronaut on one of those russian ships for like $30 million , but the scientific community asked her not to, because the earth would fly out of the orbit around the sun and crash into Jupiter (because of the DRAMATIC sudden loss of a huge mass).

OK, Paul. You're outside my level of experience now. Home made controller? Maybe this should be in its own thread...
But I loved the Mosfets when I was a kid! The Swedish chef cracked me up. Oh, and that Beeker! |

New Thread dedicated to controller.
That's an excellent idea! The darn car works just dandy. I'll have to figure out the right area for it. Fossil free fuel? hmm... maybe? Maybe not? I will a little tink!
I used to love the mosfets too. They used to give me FieldEffectTransistor's (fet's) of laughter. Isn't it weird that the swedish chef had human hands? My family is swedish (some of them). They really do talk like that!

Holy Cow!
Holy Cow! I remember that episode! It seemed really familiar, and when he bounced the egg, it all came back. I love the swedish chef. Has anyone ever seen the episode with Christopher Reeve, where Miss Piggy wasn't able to Karate chop him?
I still need to install the heater in the car. It was 14 degrees today. Unlike Ben, I took the other car! I checked the voltage. The batteries still read that they were full, but when I took it out last week when it was cold, the voltage drop was more while accelerating than usual. I got all the way down to 66v while accelerating. Usually it drops to 68.
