Your message got through, I was just finishing up a new article (Ford Ranger EV). Just sign your messages with ~~~~ and you will get a time stamped signature on your message. Indentation of any line will result in monospaced typewriter font, so do not use spaced indents unless that is your intent.

You might want to write into your user page - just a little statement of skills and interests, perhaps a list of contributions you are proud of.

"(We don't need EVERY detail about his family tree, okay?)"

Hello A-Hrafn: I am almost in an editing war regarding an article [that I did not write] about Einar H. Kvaran. the last edit came with the comment "(We don't need EVERY detail about his family tree, okay?)" I figured that if every Icelander on wikipedia suggested that in fact we do need every detail - or at least a lot of them - then perhaps this person would back off a bit. If you go to the article and look at the history you will pick up the thread.

Wheel Motor

I noticed the article on electric wheel motors is on your user page, I presume you are knoweldgable in the subject? if so perhaps you can help me with something. would it be feasable to fit these motors to transit busses? or would the busses be too heavy? the busses I am thinking of are the 60 foot ones, that weigh 15-17 metric tonnes, and use motors that usually produce 270 HP at 2150 RPM. 74.99.228.118 07:06, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

sorry, I had forgot to login. that comment was by me Pellaken 07:08, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello, Hrafn. Google has already found your Wheel motor article (and listed it in its top ten) so would you please consider moving it to the main Wikipedia space? The current article Hub motor is a sorry little stub, and I'm looking forward to contributing (in minor ways) to your expanded version instead.--Egmonster

P.S. Pellaken, you might want to take a look at <http://www.e-traction.com/Applications.htm>. They equipped a lightweight bus with two wheel motors, lithium batteries and a small generator, and ran it around for a year or two. They calculate that for €20 000 more, or 10% above the initial cost of a conventional bus, they could build them right there in Europe, and save 30 000 litres of diesel and 79.4 tonnes of CO2 per bus per year. Fifteen of those buses would save the amount of energy produced by a 2 MW windmill at a tenth of the cost, according to their figures.--Egmonster 23:35, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

I found the wheel motor article at the top of a Google search. A-Hrafn hasn't made any Wikipedia contributions since August 2005, so I doubt you'll see him moving that article any time soon. That being the case, I see no reason not to move it, especially since other people have been editing it where it is. It'll get a whole lot more attention if it's in the proper namespace.

Update: moved the contents to the Wheel motor article. EthanL (talk) 23:45, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

wheel motors and the x prize

Hello Mr. Hrafn. I enjoyed your article on wheel motors. I am interested in building a four-place car out of Kevlar and polystyrene blue foam with wheel motors and a small high efficiency diesel motor to recharge the battery. If we can break 113 mpg we can win a sum of money. I have experience building things using these substances. You can see pics of my current one-off seaplane project at www.patweb.com/jack You can send me email to planeguy3@hotmail.com Can you help me Jack Wright San Antonio, TX —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.64.174.130 (talk) 19:49, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
