Other items to be added.
​

This is the rough shape as seen in the photos on this page.

This will be 'home' for a while; (bed, bath, toilet, kitchen, dining, entertainment, etc.)
Picture

Simple back view.

Human powered?

You will notice that I have room for up to 12 car batteries. 

These are to power electronics; (laptop, phone, loudspeaker, monitors to show videos, heating/cooling food, etc.)
Picture


Another view of the side.

The RED-lines towards the back are for gears to pedal-power recharge some of the batteries. Additional recarge options include solar (not shown yet); and wind, shown later.
Picture

Different look at the RED lines with gears.

  • Have 7 of 12 batteries.
  • Need more gears and axles for pedal-power charger
Picture

The wind generator

Little red contraption at the bottom is the vehicle brake.
--
Still need the componments for the wind-generator.
​
Picture

Misc. Components:

  • Round thing; 2 of them; take up nd release for the chain-steering.
  • Square with 5 holes; is the bearing blocks; 2 of these; one for forward' one for reverse.
  • Rectangular block' 2 of these; lift kit to level the back end.

Have these metal chunks; just need to drill the holes.
Picture

Steering Column

Steering wheel and 3-part shaft.

Have the shafts.

​Need the wheel (1 inch mounting hole with 1/4 inch keyway.
Picture

The FORWARD and REVERSE plan

With multiple accessories posibilities.

Need all these; 
  • 2 gear boxes (scoped out 5:1)
  • 1 variable speed 8:1 forward and reverse
About a $900 package; and much heavier duty than the bearings I am using.
Picture


Gearing for the pedal power generator

Got the force, this delivers the RPM to the truck alternator to rechasrge the batteries.

Wind doesnt blow all the time.

Sun doesn't shine all the time.

But I can pedal to make up the difference.
Picture

The next 4 pictures of 12 items (approximately $3,500) are the products needed to complete this HPV version #1, The HEAVY-HAULER utility HPV (self-contained electrical power supply for accessories; such as lights, phone, laptop, loudspeaker, etc.).

  • Steering wheel, right now I am using one of the 96 tooth sprockets.
  • The wind generator.
Picture

Other Battery recharging

  • 2 versions of the truck alternator; the top on looks like it will put out more juice; so if you want to donate 1 or 2 or all 4, get which you desire. I will test and make them work.
  • Also the solar panel should produce enough juice for a battery or two each week.
Picture

Here: Some of the Electronics

  • Motion-sensor with recorded greeting for maybe waking me when people are in the area
  • Door sensors for the various hatches to let me knoe if they are getting opened whil I sleep.
  • And an electric control for keeping the batteries at a safe level. This, I am still learning about; so anyu of you experts, feel at liberty to volunteer your skills.
Picture



Some work still to go on the HPV, pictured in the lighter colors:
  • Crank arms ( are now in, but not yet connected.
  • Seat & Post
  • 2 upper axles 
    • one for crank arms
    • one for pedal power batter charger
  • Chains

Not pictured yet:
  • The umbrella
  • Wind powered battery charger

The 28 images to the right are various stage of one of the several rebuilds.

The Cart pictured below, is a Human Powered Vehicle (HPV) in the making. And no, the broom is not its secret engine :(

By HPV, I refer to pedal-power, not push-power. Another $2,000 in addition to the $1,700 I presently have available; and it should  be just about ready to exceed the world record for most weight hauled for an HPV.

An additional $8,000 will ready it to exceed the land-speed​ record for HPV's.

It is beginning to look more like the block drawing. Posted Oct. 10, 2022
