    You don't give us enough credit rich, we want the fiddly details, we want to do what you do so learning is essential.

    I can't believe Rich has roots in Trinidad and Tobago. Big up from Tobago Rich!

    Nothing screams sustainability like needing to ship another package every 30 days😂😂

    Thanks for leaving in all the problems and troubles and not making it seem like it is instantly done. I know that, you know that, but man does it give "some people" a lot of confidence that they don't have skills to back up.

    Hey from Hawaii and i use rock salt around the border of our garden and property boundary and never seen them for awhile. Did it twice almost a year and a half ago.

    I know when that royalty free beat comes in that it’s going to be a sweet montage.
  • Spread a circle of diatomacous earth (sometimes called diatomaceous sand) around a plant they like and place bait inside the circle. Invasive slugs are attracted to beer (yes!). Diatoms are super sharp, and they cause the slugs to abrade and dry out.

    The eBeat is an awesome idea. Gonna be fun!

    for the snails... im a farmer from hawaii so all i can tell you is what works here: coreys PELLET form slug bait. just toss it all over the garden. done. you can get a box of it at walmart.

    I can't wait to see this run. Honda beats are such quirky vehicles.
  • @UmmmmmmmWhat
    Ok, good. That bms connection makes me feel better about the 'wtf why voltage?!?' issues.
  • @theobserver1219
    Great to have you in trinidad. What a suprise! One of my favorite utubers in my home country! Wish it was possible to meet you!🇹🇹
  • @evan010101
    The input impedance of the meter is megaohms so it’s not telling you much, the leakage current could be micro amps. The leakage current will be due to the BMS itself. It’s important not to try to start it while the pack has a split in it (wire between them not connected), as current could try to flow through the BMS and blow it up. You were lucky that the crash sensor had tripped :)

    Welcome to Trinidad my boi ,I had no idea you was part Trini ,hope you had some good roti and doubles oh and bake and shark 😂
  • This really shows the difference in electrical engine technology. I remember doing a quick look at Koenigsegg recently. They have two electrical engines listed, the Quark and the Dark Matter. The Quark weigh 29 Kg and is supposed to deliver 600 Nm of torque and 250 kW of power. The Dark Matter is larger at 39Kg but sports 800 HP or about 597 KW and 1250 Nm of torque. Now these are extreme, but I heard that the latest Bugatti has an even stronger ter KG electrical engine to support the ICE engine. Tesla also have some impressive electrical engines, but quite a bit heavier. The Model S Rear Small engine weigh in at 90 Kg and consumes up to 250KW or about 300 HP and have a max torque of 330 Nm. So it seems that electrical engines have been improved a lot faster than the development of new battery chemistry. We repeatedly hear about "the next big thing" in the battery business, and it alwasy seems that within ten years they will be incredibly improved. But looking back it's been these ten years for at least 30 years now, possibly longer.
