Hello James, Good to hear from you. I was also glad to hear that they are doing the majority of the Loop on electric. However, in my last message when I was referring to going slow, I was describing my potential experience on the loop using electricity. I was stating that It would be acceptable for me if the results of using my golf cart motor, etc. were that my cruising speed was slow. I have actually been excited about this project and the prospect of being able to do the Loop on electric only (biodiesel only backup). I am actually looking into wind power and possibly a micro submersible hydropower generator to recharge the battery bank. Still researching that one. A question I have yet to answer is, "should I include the transmission with this electric motor and use a larger propeller, or use a direct drive with a straight shaft from the motor to the propeller?" If you have any suggestions, they would be appreciated. Thanks again for your feedback, I need all the help I can get. William A. Garrison --- On Tue, 2/1/11, James Sizemore <james@deny.org> wrote:
