Title: KillaCycle Math
Post by: skadamo on May 06, 2009, 09:24:04 PM

Interesting blog post trying to prove / disprove the KillaCycle can be recharged by wind power in 4 minutes.  I enjoyed seeing the math he used.

Is it using capacitors instead of batteries?

Holy crap, the only thing that I know for sure from reading the information in that link is that I belong in the remedial class.
I truly appreciate those brainiacs that will unrelentingly pursue the answers to all of the possibilities, but I'm afraid that I will have to wait for the final report and just harvest the fruit of their labor.

My gut feeling is that a 4 minute recharge would lead to battery damage, fire, or possible explosion.
