Tell us how Antigravity's packs fare!

duly noted! thanks.

ok, i apologize for the massive amount of posts. i have not done carbon fiber layup a lot, and i guess if i am going to have someone invest, i am at least going to need a prototype, as you suggest. i can make a casing for the pack without having to invest a huge amount, but without the cells in...

speaking of mounting, i could make a flat box with 5 sides that is slightly larger than the pack so it is like a tray. i would then put several pieces of carbon rod into the sides and install velcro straps going long and wide so the pack is Very secure. you could mount the tray in any...

i would do such a better job. and besides, the prismatic cells better lend themselves to series AND parallel connections. their tabs are on the same end. i'm tellin' ya folks, all i need is one person with $300 burning a hole in their wallet (i have already shown you my costs, i would have to...

6 35/64 x 8 15/16 x 1 7/64 total internal pack dimensions. with the kevlar/carbon fiber shell, figure on adding about 3/16 to each dimension. it will be a solid design that i have decided needs to be serviceable so that if a cell dies, it can be pulled out an replaced. the problem with that...

:p

i really wish i could afford to buy all of this stuff to help you guys, but i am honestly strapped for cash.

suggest getting qty 2 of the epoxy. having too much can be cut, trimmed or sanded away, having too little will make the integrity of the shell fail. 4 cells is all that is necessary for the battery. one can of sealant is all that is necessary, and 1 meter of each of the wires is all that is...

as i said, i will get all of these things if someone puts the money in my paypal account. i will forward ALL information to the payor so they get confirmation of the purchases of all of the products. i will take pictures and post them on this thread. as soon as it is all assembled and adhesives...

oh, also a foodsaver system for the vacuum bag to squeeze the whole thing together so it can set hard.

that's the thing. i am what you all might call poor folk. all i need is someone with an extra $300 laying around that i could use to get what is necessary to even make the prototype. all i want to do is help. fact of the matter, i won't even charge above my cost to do the first one. whoever pays...
