Well the gas is now very expensive and everybody is talking about going green .
So to me a new area of expertise is emerging .Kinda a wild fronter where there is going to be a lot of new opportunities . I have been prototyping several designs of very light vehicles .I'm interested in very inexpensive designs where i can marry all my skills to have fun and to be useful .
My idea in the making is a hybrid bike .and later a small truck.with several power sources capable of selecting the energy source depending on the demand .
For now my prototype uses 3 sources : Gas (soon biodiesel) ,electric and of course muscular.
I would like to find in this my old home people interested in this area .Ideas and expertise .I had to almost to convert to a new trade ,Mechanical engineering in order to learn how to model this type of machines .But is all fun .
The good news is that my wife is divorcing me so now i have more time to play ..
But let's start the ball playing..
I want your input and we'll go from there
Areas of expertise required are :
electric motor and controller design
matlab simulation
microntroller design
dsp signal processing
light diesel engine design
and complex system simulation
mecanical expertise (matlab SIMECHANICS toolbox)
