Expected offline till this evening.

Notice. The technical and logistical challenges of creating logs are gigantic. Attempts are being made to rectify the situation but for now posting will be limited and very very full of errors.

Solar rv cycling blog August 9th. If this is not what's going on, and advanced understanding of the mechanics, please shoot me!

item. We are a 900 lb object treat us like less than that and break yourself. Literally. 

Item. The goal deliver as much sustainable power per hour with the least amount of energy expended. 

Item. we are a locomotive drive piston system. The Shins, calves, are the piston.. The knees and feet and ankles are the bearings. Rust in the bearings is energy subtracting. From the movement of the vehicle. Rigidity From the knees forward are  friction, Sub track it from forward travel. 

Item. Yes, a cylinder, or a 900 pound heavy object between the groin and knees. All power, all power, repeat, all power is delivered there is optimum. 

Item. If all needed power is not delivered there, a lower legs will desperately try to compensate, energy subtracted from forward travel. 

item. The parameters of the heavy cylindrical object, 900 pounds, Between the groin and knees is determined by the goal that is by turning that object causing the shin's, to achieve maximal necessary object travel from roughly 45ﾟ angle to roughly flat which is full extension.. so again, dimensions of the circular object between the thighs is determined by what causes that travel of the piston. 

Item. 85% or more of the power is in the forward stroke. It appears there is roughly 15% power available by consciously asking the returning leg to try and help a little. Often the mistake is made by and asked the returning leg, to do an equal share. But so far this is totally not helpful. Just asking it to do a little. 

Item. And it seems to be that if the thighs,  the forward rotation, are not asked to 100% of the work as mentioned above, the lower legs automatically try to make up the difference Which results in among other things wait on the petals, and that wait for most certainly is part of the body, resting, letting the forward sky pushing back to the ready to thrust position. Well, there's no cheating, only the illusion of cheating. 

General update August 9th. Get into the car, the rancher lady roughly indicated.....

Another catastrophic vehicle event. Blame James for not having a maintenance schedule. He was a pilot. He had many cars and drove

When we press on in another hour or so, no internet till tomorrow night.

Summer Lakes.

Major update general topics August 5th period

 The vehicle was in a automotive parts Store parking lot gathering son as James was inside a wonderful country restaurant, little diner, also gathering son, well, the energy from the Sun stored in 2 large pancakes and a 10 oz

One day away? 2? 5?

This marvellous vehicle with a destroyed rear wheel engine is one moment a 12 mile per hour vehicle Max, that's as fast as we go, and the next moment two miles an hour max because of something called cogging, a short in that destroyed rear-wheel engine. It is playing with me. Sat morning shockingly it was nowhere in evidence. Let me get 30 miles or so into the middle of nowhere and then it showed up but very mild form cutting us down to five miles an hour. Then after an hour or so it got severe and we were down to two miles an hour in the middle of nowhere. As James was contemplating what the heck to do, heyl resume to travel anticipating two miles an hour and the cogging was nowhere in evidence. And that has been the case for the last 30 miles. Without question the rear wheel needs to be replaced for arrival by Thursday or Friday. The town 6 miles ahead of me, or the town 60 miles ahead of me where other gear is? Quite an increase in the degree of difficulty of things.

Solar RV cycling log August 3rd. Oh, It is a 900 pound flywheel/object!

 Well, this seems to be the closest yet to that cross Iowa Nirvana. .... 

 A little bit yesterday, and for several hours today, Embracing the image that what the legs have an opportunity to move is a 900 pound flywheel, object. That imagery Is bring a level of efficiency, sustainability, power, that is very reminiscent of that cross Iowa Nirvana. 

 And eventually a second benefit came. Very surprising. 

 What role for the non thrust leg? It seems that the answer may be to remember that It to is dealing with a large,  say 26" diameter 900 pound flywheel. Currently James has no hope that there is muscles in the nonthrust leg that can help that much. But when the image was embraced that still that is what the rising leg has an opportunity to deal with .... But it still really helps. Not sure why. Maybe several thing, maybe it helps the drive leg More fully embrace what is dealing with. A promising improvement, Who knows what else. But it was a very nice discovery. 

Yes imagery of the fly wheel that is always 900 pounds Brings about a Harmony, a synchronization, an ability to dance rarely seen since Iowa. And James is not thinking this is the some sort of magic metaphysical, is thinking that, experiencing that, it is a pretty close approximation to the reality of what the body is faced with. Very nice discovery. Please creator, let this one last?

And the above was at quite a slow cadence because that's what the body wanted to do. Is it grappled with this 900 pound object. In the last several hours of this 2300 calorie day, the thought occurred and was executed to try a much faster Cadence, about 70 rpm. Also with the preoccupation that it is a 900 pound object. This also works splendidly. The body really had an idea immediately of what to do about this.

There are other details to discuss but they probably only makes sense if tomorrow and the next day the imagery of today is equally productive or more so.

We are rolling again.

Only one motor, but it should be enough to keep us going for quite some time. We seem to have dodged the bullet. The failed motor in the all-important rear-wheel, was acting as a break, cogging it is called. But with the controller detached from it that stopped. Quite a surprise. A full day of four behind trying to get to Lakeview though it is not an emergency.

6 or more hours working on the motor and rear-wheel yesterday. Tremendous use of time but good training. If it doesn't kill you bro.
And because of it I encountered the most wonderful soul, a local police officer who stopped, a bit Gruff to begin with, and by the end offering me the likelihood of staying at his church parking lot in town if we needed to stay there waiting for a replacement motor.
He is the youth pastor there.
