Reconfigurable sailing proa plan Rob Denny at http://www.harryproa.com has some interesting things to say about Proas and how they could be the basis for a cheap, high performance, spacious sailing cruising boat. Perhaps the ideal cruising boat :). I want to explore the sailing characteristics in a model.
LED lights and lenses for my bike plan http://pilom.com/BicycleElectronics/DynamoCircuits.htm explains the matching of LEDs to bike generators. I plan to have several strings of LEDs with different beam angles and aiming points - and the appropriate string of LEDs turned on for the curent bike speed.

Success criteria:

  • generate some light at low speed
  • generate more light at high speed
  • get it too work
  • dont break the bank
Low viscosity blood thoughts I have some more reading to do; but am intrigued by http://customers.hbci.com/~wenonah/new/mcdaniel.htm and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_Pulmonary_Index
