Revision as of 17:08, 1 May 2016
In Phase 7…
• First is to prepare a stable platform to attach the S.H.O. Drive.
• Second is to arrange a place outside to run an extended duration test.
• Third is to the connect a portable power supply to run the camcorder outdoors for an extended period of time (several hours).
• Fourth is to run an outdoor extended duration test.
Standing structure
(Top)
| Music Stand (Equipment) • To provide an elevated structure to secure the S.H.O. Drive, I purchased the Talent MUS-3 Heavy Duty Steel Fixed Base Music Stand from Talent at Amazon.com |
| Music Stand (Equipment) • Like many music stands, the angle of the desk can be adjusted 180 degrees. • The tilt can be adjusted to aid viewing of the S.H.O. Drive from the bottom as well as the top. |
| Music Stand (Equipment) • Unlike many music stands, the base is fixed and made of heavy gauge steel. |
| Barbell Plate (Equipment) • In order to prevent the music stand from tipping over, I will lower its center of gravity. • To do this, I will glide a barbell plate over the pole of the music stand to rest on the heavy duty base. |
| Barbell Plate (Equipment) • This barbell plate is the 45 pound (or 10 kilogram) CAP Barbell Olympic Grip Plate. I purchased it from CAP Barbell via Amazon.com |

Acrylic carrying arms
(Top)
| Transparency (Protocols) • In order to provide an unobstructed view of the S.H.O. Drive, I will clamp Acrylic Tubes onto the desk of the music stand and then slide the crate, which holds the S.H.O. Drive, through these tubes. |
| Acrylic Tubes (Equipment) • The ones I purchased are 72” (or about 180 cm) Long Acrylic Square Tubes from Plastic-Craft via Amazon.com • This includes a 5-pack consisting of tubes ¼” (or about 6 mm) across and a 2-pack of tubes ½” (or about 13 mm) across |
| Laminate Scorer (Tools) • In order to split the 72” tubes in half, I purchased the OLFA 1090486 PC-L Plastic/Laminate Scorer from Olfa via Amazon.com. |
| Tubes (Assembly) • In order to increase the rigidity of the tubes, I will apply a glue to bond the ¼” tubes alongside the ½” tubes. • Then I will clamp them to the workbench and let them cure 1 hour. • These tubes will later hold the S.H.O. Drive when it is operating. |
| Tubes (Assembly) • The glue I will use to bond the ¼” and ½” Acrylic tubes together is the Loctite Epoxy Plastic Bonder which I purchased from Lowe’s. |
| Acrylic Sheet (Equipment) • There will be four acrylic tube-pairs to secure. • I will use the Loctite Epoxy Plastic Bonder to adhere these tubes to a Cast Acrylic Sheet from Small Parts via Amazon.com. |
| C-Clamps (Equipment) • The tubes will slide tightly through the crate, securing the S.H.O. Drive into the crate, no matter the tilting angle. • To secure the attached acrylic plate to the music stand, I will use a pair of 3 in. Industrial C-Clamps that I obtained from a Harbor Freight Tools store. |

Test location
(Top)
| Let’s Test the S.H.O. Drive Outside!
Caption: Just after I moved in to my studio apartment on September 2015, this orange “tag” appeared nearby, visible from my unit, in an area I pass by regularly. On July 26, 2015, I renamed the “S-Motor”, as it was called originally, to “S.H.O. Motor”. |
| PREFERRED TEST LOCATION Gas Works Park 2101 N Northlake Way, Seattle, WA 98103
Caption: The actual test location is yet to be determined. (April 18, 2016) |

Recording setup
(Top)
| Continuous Recording Outdoors (Protocols) • In order to record an outdoor test of extended duration, the camcorder (a sensitive electronic instrument) must be continually charged by an external supply of energy. |
| AC-to-DC Adapter (Equipment) • To supply energy to the camcorder indefinitely when it is recording, its 3.6V battery must be charged through a special 5.3V power adapter designed for the camcorder. • The adapter must be connected to a source of alternating current of standard voltage and frequency. • Per the manual, the camcorder consumes around 3 watts when recording video, though this will depend on the camera settings. |
| DC-to-AC Inverter (Equipment) • In order to supply energy to the adapter in the form of alternating current, I purchased the BESTEK 300W 12V to 110V AC Inverter from BESTEK via Amazon.com |
| 12V DC Battery Cables (Equipment) • In order to connect the inverter to a supply of 12V DC energy, I purchased a RoadPro 12V Battery Clip-On and Cigarette Lighter Adapter from RoadPro via Amazon.com • These cables can support up to 10 amps at 12 volts DC. |
| 12V Battery (Equipment) • For the 12V energy source, I purchased an ExpertPower 12V 7 Amp EXP1270 Rechargeable Lead Acid Battery from ExpertPower via Amazon.com |
| 12V Battery (Equipment) • This 12V battery is rated at 7 ampere-hours, based on 20 hours of steady electrical discharge. • This means it can deliver 84 watt-hours of energy (or about 300 kilojoules) over a 20 hour period (an average of 4.2 watts). |
| Battery Enclosure (Equipment) • In order to protect the battery and inverter from the outside elements, I purchased the NOCO HM318BKS Group 24-31 Snap-Top Battery Box from NOCO via Amazon.com |
| Tripod (Equipment) • To record stable video of the S.H.O. Drive from a distance, I will attach the camcorder to a 72” Tripod that I purchased from ButterflyPhoto via Amazon.com |

Outdoor test
(Top)
| Multi-hour Test (Testing) • The following will be tested: • Resistance • Inductance [ f(position) ] • R.M.S. Voltage [ f(r.p.m.) ] • Rotational Speed • R.M.S. Current • Temperature [ +references ] • Refer to procedure laid out in Phase 4. |
