As we approach the summer solstice, I’m inspired to explore new and untapped areas of the realm of long boring technical videos. I think we’ve reached some sort of zenith this particular week. The immediate object of this week’s video is another contest finalist, Alex Viera, who arrived to plead his case before EVTV viewers. […]

It IS Friday, and I’m just now blogging LAST Friday’s show, which I have to do in a hurry so I can film THIS Friday’s show, so it isn’t so late that it becomes NEXT Friday. Brain started this Friday thing. We have gone from standing around summarizing things with no parts to work with

This week we received a visit from one of our Masterflux contest nominees – Team Illuminati and their vehicle SEVEN. As contests go, this is not their first rodeo. Kevin Smith got involved with various University advanced auto technology build contests when he was in college for a degree in Chemical Engineering. And SEVEN was

This may indeed be our longest show ever – right at three hours of HD video. We had a number of interesting developments and breakdowns in the shop, and then we introduce the TEN finalists in the EVTV “Build Your Dream” EV components contest.

This week we round up some various and largely unrelated items for your viewing pleasure. We actually had a number of interesting things planned, and NONE of them really panned out. It was one disaster after another. The result was there really wasn’t much to show. Busted….

The big news this week is actually a new web site design. Count Domagni has finally gotten things to a pretty good state with our video interface. The entire website now resides on an Amazon.com server with the videos remaining in the Amazon cloud. This is all a bit of a technical issue and much
It fits the profile. Charging at 4:15 AM. Total destruction of both cars and the garage, melted the doorknob off the door to the garage it was so hot. What is interesting is that Storm Connors Suzuki Samarai uses flood lead acid batteries. I have never gotten a lead acid to burn. Blew the end
