Uve Rick's battery page and motor page, murdered by Yahoo along with the
rest of Geocities, have been resurrected at evdl.org They're linked from
the EVDL Library at evdl.org/lib/

http://evdl.org/uve/battery.htmlhttp://evdl.org/uve/motor.htmlI'm sure the price information on the battery page is of little value, but I
left it there for historical interest. However, I moved the Peukert
calculator to the top of the page and put the battery information at the
bottom. I also added an option for reserve capacities besides 25 amps in
the Peukert calculations, and (I hope) clarified the use of the calculator a
bit through some minor revisions of the page layout.
I snarfed a copy of Uve's EV calculator page too, before Geocities shut
down. However, it has a copyright notice, and I'm a little uncomfortable
with posting it. Anybody know Uve and want to ask him for clearance? It
may not be worth it, as some parts of the calculator don't seem to work, and
there are other versions of it on the web elsewhere.
I've also posted a couple of useful pieces culled from an early electrical
textbook, Electricity and Its Applications by Hawkins and staff, published
in 1917 (and thus in the public domain in the USA). One is an extensive
treatise on use and maintenance of motors and generators. The other is a
lengthy discussion of real-world EVs in that era.
Both of these came to me via Rod Hower. Over the last few years, Rod has
been a most generous contributor to the EVDL library, and I really
appreciate his help. (I suspect quite a few EV hobbyists do too, as the lib
page is second only to the archive page for number of monthly hits.)
The EVDL library is a growing repository of published data that EV hobbyists
can use. It includes instructions for building some of the DIY items
mentioned on the EVDL, manuals for older hardware (chargers, controllers,
and the like), and bits of random orphaned technical information.
Contributions for the EVDL library are always welcome at my private email
address (found at evdl.org/help). Sometimes when I'm busy it takes me a
while to get them posted, but they're always appreciated.
