Here is a view into my current endeavor, building an affordable electric vehicle battery charger that features temperature monitoring for each battery. We want the battery charger to be low cost and have a high efficiency rating so that we will not waste electricity. Some common EV battery chargers lose at much as 300 Watts per 1Kw of recharge just with inefficient design! A standard EV battery bank can absorb 10Kw of power, that means 3Kw of electricity is wasted everytime you recharge!

I also actively review products for Epinions. Here is my profile page: Rgathright

Another craft I taught myself was carpentry. The following photos are of a pine table I built that holds an integrated two stage air filter and computer. The computer has a wireless network card that allows me to upload photos and have the screensaver randomnly display them. The system is very quiet and is the topic of much discussion when friends come over!

   Reuben's Blurbs
About me:
Currently I am devoted to building an electric vehicle. I have built a computerized guage software suite in .Net already. My father and I are building a set of modularized battery chargers.

I write software for a company called National Networks. Over the last six years, I have grown the software division from two programmers to four with a focus on customer service. Anyone can write software, but a successful firm believes the customer deserves to talk to someone everytime they call.

Who I'd like to meet:
People who want to save gas and willing to convert their cars into plug-in hybrids by simply installing a battery charger. Read my blogs!

Hey - I recently finished arranging and recording a new song. Misdirection was a song my father wrote about 15 years ago that has always been a favorite of mine and was very influential in the writing of many of my songs over the years.

It's 7 minutes with a long, building crescendo ending. Please take the time to listen and drop me a comment with your thoughts.

Thanks!

The next time that you are at the store...

Be Prepared When Asked...

Paper?



Or Plastic?




Why not bring your own bags?



Most Grocery Stores Sell ReUsable Bags Now.

Try purchasing one at each of your next few visits, and you could have enough for every visit in no time. They are fairly inexpensive, and make a huge difference when it comes to their impact on the environment.

Remember...

An Informed Decision is ALWAYS the Best Decision...

And being Prepared Will ALWAYS make your day a little EASIER...

Thanks for your work to help curb the effects of Global Warming...

Every Consciencious Decision Will Make The Difference.

thank you for your interest in my blog's. I responded, but please remember I do enjoy and respect everyones opinions. I believe if no one is ready for a conflict in interest or willing to comunicate instead of dictating. then we all will fail in our quest in helping our environment. This is a real issue in our lives and our childrens. Thank you for being active in trying to find a solution. If you have a responce please fell free to do so, or if you just have questions. we all can help each other!

There is a new blog on my site about e-waste and nuclear, if your interested.
