Description

A place for folks who love to create new things with engines, alternators and other electro/mechanical parts.

Here is the home of the Amptramp. She weighs in at 1100 KG, delivers over 240 amps of DC for welding, 6000 watts at 230 VAC for power tools - and 120 PSI of air for all sorts of other tasks. She's managed by a home made computer, and has a 433 MHz radio control receiver built in - for 'Luxury cruize mode :)' .

Come on in, enjoy the diesel fumes and showers of lovely sparks, for you are in:
AmpTramp country.
A bird can fly, but a fly can't bird. That's not fair :)

Re: cutting into an old propaine tank. Hazardous or not? Hello waterengineman, Think serious about this now. You most definitely do not want to attempt to cut it with a torch because it will probably explode before Posted - Thu May 17, 2012 2:53 am	Mark Lundgreen mecca1953... Offline Send Email
