Electric motorbike update 7 - Bike fully assembled
zhlédnutí 750Před 3 lety
Got the whole bike back into 1 piece, ready for the first real ride.
Electric motorbike update 6 - Putting more batteries in the tank and wiring done.
zhlédnutí 738Před 3 lety
To get 20 more continuous Amps and 10Ah more battery capacity, I ended up putting 4 more Lime tubes inside the main tank, sitting above the motor controller. Ended up looking pretty decent. Also got most of the wiring now done and the battery capacity meter mounted nicely on the dash.
Electric motorbike update 5 - First test ride
zhlédnutí 1,3KPřed 3 lety
Finally got the bike sorted enough to do a first test ride up and down the driveway. Bike performed very well, substantially more torque than the GEN1 attempt. Current was maxing out @ 130A. With 72V nominal, that is approx 9kW Test ride @ 3:20
Electric motorbike update 4 - Motor controller and throttle
zhlédnutí 1,2KPřed 3 lety
Motor controller plate and throttle now mostly sorted
Electric motorbike update 3 - Batteries Wired
zhlédnutí 499Před 3 lety
Main high-voltage battery all wired up and good to go now. Steady progress :) As shown in this video, bike will have 72V 65Ah nominal = approx 5kWh
Electric motorbike update 2 - Position Batteries and gut the tank.
zhlédnutí 636Před 3 lety
Some more progress made on the electric motorbike project, got the battery placement figured out and started gutting the tank to fit over the top of the motor controller.
Electric motorbike update 1 - new motor and battery solution
zhlédnutí 1,2KPřed 3 lety
Update on the electric motorbike project, new motor fitted and battery box mostly welded together. The motor is a Motenergy ME-1003, around 12kW continuous @ 72V. The battery tubes are recycled from Segway electric scooters, they are 10S 2P Lithium Ion using 10A high-discharge rate Samsung cells.
First DIY Electric motorbike - Overview and test ride
zhlédnutí 13KPřed 3 lety
This video shows a overview and test ride of my first attempt at a DIY electric motorbike. The donor bike was a Hyosung GT250R, Goldenmotor 5kW brushless DC motor (HPM500B) and Kelly KEB48601 motor controller. This is a 48V setup, the battery is a 12Ah 13S 48V pack I made out of recycled 20700 cells from Dyson V8 vacuum cleaner packs.

If they have Gold corner BGAs you can definitely pull them off and wait till you have a feqw 100 grams to process them, but that might devalue the boards if you sell them.

  • @zero-waste

    The steel wires inside the tire are hardened and will spoil the teeth of your hacksaw blade! It's much faster to use an angle grinder with a thin cutting disc and cut the steel wires in the rubber very near the edge of the rim only. You need to cut 2 to 3cm into the rim itself, always on the rear side of the wheel. This will release the tension; thus you can easily pry this side of the tyre fully up over the rim. Then you turn the wheel and press (or hammer) the other half of the tyre down until it's in the middle of the rim. Turn the wheel again and pry the tyre completely off with a crowbar. Two crowbars make it easier. If the rim is aluminium, you can alternatively smash the entire rim into smaller pieces with a sledgehammer, then they'll fit perfectly into the crucible in your metal melting furnace. The alloy used for wheel rims is excellent for home casting. The rubber tire can be cut in halves or quarters, together with the inner tube if any, and be used as raw material for your pyrolysis unit, giving you free diesel or gasoline for your car, or as fuel for your metal melting furnace. Notice: The Raw Pyrolysis Oil must be desulfurized before use! The gas created during the pyrolysis process can be let back to the pyrolysis unit as free fuel during the pyrolysis process, if you don't collect it in either a gas bag or compresses it into an old propane bottle. Rubber tires contain 40% solid residue. Nearly half of this is steel wires that can be sold as scrap iron. The remaining part is mostly carbon black, which after pyrolysis process can be mixed with saw dust and pressed into hard pellets and used as fuel for the pyrolysis unit as well. Never use it for barbecue! You can also mix it with the thicker part of refined Raw Pyrolysis Oil for use in oil fired metal melting furnace. In fact, it should really be incinerated in a fire chamber connected to a fume scrubber as it contains a bit of sulfur. The valve is usually brass (must be pyrolyzed to become pure brass. Inner parts of the valve are brass, iron, or stainless steel. Wheel weights are zinc, older ones are lead; both have steel clips.

    Thanks for sharing your knowledge, you mentioned 75 grams of CuSO4 per liter, do you mean 75 of copper as CuSO4 which mean you will dissolve about 300 grams of CuSO4 or you mean 75 CuSO4? Cause I read in different sources that copper content should be 50 grams per liter that mean we need 200 grams of CuSO4 per liter. Another question, 10% of sulphuric acid mean add 100 ml sulphuric acid to 1 liter of water, or water plus Sulphuric acid should be 1 liter? Thanks for your help

    • @successfulengineer
      @successfulengineer Před 4 měsíci

      Hi there, this is going back many years, so I am a bit fuzzy on the details. Im pretty sure I used 75g CuSO4 and it would have been 1 to 10 H2SO4, even though that is not 10% total. For a DIY test I doubt it makes that much difference. Use those numbers as a starting point and do some controlled experiments. Good luck mate 👍

    For those who cannot melt copper pins into bars for the anode, instead could the pins be put into a porous bag with a connection to the power supply and dunked into the electrolyte? Similar to using silver shot or cornflakes in a silver cell.

    • @successfulengineer
      @successfulengineer Před 5 měsíci

      I wouldn't think so, the idea is that the Copper atoms can migrate through the solution to the cathode, if you put the pins in whole, the Copper is surrounded by Gold. Sulfuric deplating cell is probably the best bet if you can't melt and cast anodes.

    Great video,thanx.However big disappointment for using the FINAL chemistry separation for Ag !!! Tell me please what I am missing here: Why should we use electrolises for Cu separation instead of the way , how people did it back in the days ??? Using flame torch... without the need of electrolyses ? ...the classical metod when ading Pb and heating it together on a cement ... Why is this better ? Thank you . Because Cooper separation from the aloy has never been really a big problem as far as I know even wehen using the old clasical method , hasn't it ? . Separating silver and other precious metal contaminants from the Gold ....that is the true difficult story.... That is the chemistry part,ok... Tell me please what I am missing here.... Thanx Btw. The chemistry PART 2 is absolutely fine, getting 99.9 ? thumbs up. I just dont get the electrolises Cu part... Why to overcomplicate? For Ag/Au separation we must have a bit different electrolictic solution in the Beaker , dont we ??? 😊 You may consider making video on this. Anyway thank you.

      Separating a small amount of Gold from a large amount of Copper is very difficult, hard to do with smelting because Copper is not very reactive and expensive to do with chemicals. This is basically how industrial scale E-waste processing is done.
