We last updated with talk of a salvaged SS tube with an 1in OD and a prefab coil. Getting the leads of the prefab coil (the spool of wire) was a complete failure. I could not get to the interior wire of the coil without destroying the coil or plastic around which it is wound. After messing up two coils I decided to rewind one spool onto the empty spool I had with each lead exposed. I ended up with two half spools, both of impressive enough size. I think I am going to look into an IR LED triggering device. I have had two typhoons and a trip to Europe since my last post, so please forgive my slow progress as of late. I got the electric cart working well, and haven't checked it since the two typhoons (its stored outside) we will see. The LI-Ion battery has been working quite well, maintaining a good charge consistently. Not bad for salvaged batteries from old laptops. I received my second 450v charger to replace the one I thought had burnt out, so now I have two chargers.

I must admit I fell silent for a bit when I realized I started speaking on the videos, and I wasn't sure how entertaining I am. I need to learn a little more about editing so as to keep the videos short enough and still interesting. The ones I babble away on go too long without much going on. Sorry, I will work on it. I have another trip to go on, so the updates will be a little slow.

For now I want you all to know the project goes on, and I will be posting more as I can.
