yesterday when I was (a day) younger

I tried to weld a direct drive to an e motor that was not set up for it. Not a good idea trust me. I di9dn't even make it out of he driveway. Then I tried to weld a bike sprocket to it. the jury is out of that one but I have no faith in it at all.

If it last long enough to test as a chain drive friction device, I will be thrilled. I have a plan for a 100 watt chain drive friction device. I have some bearings on the way and I have played with enough mounts to have a pretty good idea how it is going to be mounted. After the tests with this three hundred watt engine, If it doesn't shake apart, while I wait I will be ready to build the engine.

I also have to find a small 24 volt 100 watt 2700 rpm motor.
