Collapse Biz Trip Day 4: The Big Ewz Marathon Test
Discuss this article & videos at the Frostbite Falls Newz Table inside the Diner.
Today’s project on the Collapse Biz Trip was to do the most rigorous testing to date of the newly powered Ewz (aka “Cripple Cart”) carrying the Full Monte of batteries, both Lithium-Ion (L-I) and Sealed Lead-Acid (SLA) for a total of 20 Amp-Hours (AH) fully charged.

As the photo below indicates, the Cripple Cart had its first live tests on the flight down to Seattle-Tacoma from Anchorage. Those tests were to determine the feasibility for a Solo Cripple to haul all his (massive) amount of baggage to the airport, around the airport and to get it through TSA Security and on the plane. Obviously, since I am now INTacoma, this test was successful.

In yesterday’s testing, the objective was to see just how much distance I could travel around Tacoma on a single charge without mid-trip recharges. The video above is the first installment of several segments I made on this trip. It is raw video, unedited as of now since I don’t really have time to do that until I return home to the Last Great Frontier. I will be putting up further raw videos Inside the Diner until I get home to do a full article (or more likely, articles)covering the various facets of this Collapse Biz Trip. These videos also can be found on the CollapseCafe.com Diner YouTube channel.
There will be further testing today, then I am scheduled to Jet Set back home on Tuesday, riding First Class 
on Alaska Airlines. Look Inside the Diner for the up-to-the minute Play-by-Play reports to follow the EV projects of the Doomstead Diner and the Sustaining Universal Needs Foundation (SUN4Living.com).
