The Porsche 911 Electric conversion is all done and ready for delivery to its owner. It can do 300Kms per charge if it is driven lightly. It has been a awesome experience to build and drive. The next project will be even more of an eye opener! Thanks for everyone who has been interested and supporting!

Years ago when I was just a boy, I worked on a yacht named William Tai / Surama. Here’s a silly walk around video I made to remember the old boat I called home/work for a couple years as the sole Engineer.

My father built this beast! I made the video years ago and thought I should throw it up on here in case anyone likes a Super Quad!

In the clutches of another lockdown I’ve been tinkering with the junk in the yard! Washing machine motor now as turns as a generator! These things are good for over 800W. If it were running constantly it would make 20kWh per day! It’s a shame there aren’t any creeks running through my property...
