To prevent this we have come up with the following modification.&lt;br /&gt;Take four brass or aluminium tubes with an internal diameter of 5 mm (0.2 inch) and an outside diameter of 6 mm (0.25 inch). These tubes can be cut from a longer tube and have to be 25 mm (1 inch) long. These will then fit exactly in the holes in synthetic wheels of the ElektorWheelie.&lt;br /&gt;Brass or aluminium tubes that could be used for this can be obtained from various model-building shops and perhaps also from building supply stores. Conrad Electronics www.conrad.com also has a suitable tube available. Search for part number 297321.&lt;br /&gt;The intention is for these brass or aluminium tubes to be glued into these holes (see upper photo). Use two-component epoxy for this and apply it to the outside of the tubes. Use the wheel driver plate as a jig, so that the tubes will be in the correct place in the wheel and position the entire assembly into the holes in the wheel. Make sure that the bolts and driver plate are not glued to the wheel — you still have to be able to take it apart in a tidy way.&lt;br /&gt;Allow sufficient time for the glue to set (overnight) and then remove the driver plate with the bolts from the wheel. The tubes are now held rigidly and in the correct place in the wheel. To make the entire assembly even more rigid, fill the remaining gaps in the holes in the plastic with more glue. You could use either two-component epoxy or hot-glue for this.&lt;br /&gt;Once the glue has hardened sufficiently, you can reattach the wheels to the ElektorWheelie. Do not forget to use Loctite again on the centre nut (which attaches the driver plate to the shaft) to prevent it from coming loose.&lt;br /&gt;With this simple modification you reduce the forces on the wheel carrying bolts and the shocks they experience during oscillation. The wheel is picked up immediately and in this way you prevent the bolts from warping or even breaking off. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MtWBqW0ghbM/TcqYvtn9bFI/AAAAAAAAAGg/2eGb_l2K_Jg/s1600/wheel.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" j8="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MtWBqW0ghbM/TcqYvtn9bFI/AAAAAAAAAGg/2eGb_l2K_Jg/s1600/wheel.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yU5zSA5aR_8/TcqYyx16xxI/AAAAAAAAAGk/KRu7pxv-oxs/s1600/nuts.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" j8="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yU5zSA5aR_8/TcqYyx16xxI/AAAAAAAAAGk/KRu7pxv-oxs/s1600/nuts.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Radmitnehmerschrauben beim ElektorWheelie&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bei intensivem Einsatz des Rollers können die Radmitnehmerschrauben (Foto unten) infolge der starken Beanspruchung oder durch übermäßiges Schwingen verformt werden oder sogar brechen. Um dem wirksam vorzubeugen, rate ich Wheelie-Besitzern, die folgenden Maßnahmen durchzuführen.&lt;br /&gt;Nehmen Sie vier Messing- oder Alu-Hülsen, Innendurchmesser 5 mm, Außendurchmesser 6 mm, Länge 25 mm. Die Hülsen können Sie auch von einem längeren Rohr absägen. Mit diesen Abmessungen passen die Hülsen exakt in die Aussparungen der Räder am ElektorWheelie. Geeignete Messing- oder Alu-Rohre sind in Modellbauläden und eventuell auch in Baumärkten erhältlich. Auch der Elektronik-Sortimenter www.Conrad.de hat das Passende in seinem Angebot, suchen Sie dort nach der Artikelnummer 297321.&lt;br /&gt;Die Messing- oder Alu-Hülsen müssen in die Aussparungen geklebt werden (Foto oben). Dazu tragen Sie auf den Außenseiten der Hülsen Zweikomponentenkleber auf. Orientieren Sie sich am Mitnehmerblech, um die Hülsen passgerecht montieren zu können, und setzen Sie die Konstruktion mit den Hülsen in die Radaussparungen ein.&lt;br /&gt;Achten Sie darauf, dass die Schrauben und das Mitnehmerblech nicht am Rad festkleben, sie müssen sich später problemlos abnehmen lassen.&lt;br /&gt;Geben Sie dem Kleber eine Nacht Zeit, um abzubinden, danach demontieren Sie das Mitnehmerblech einschließlich der Schrauben vom Rad. Die Hülsen sind nun mit korrektem Sitz fest mit dem Rad verbunden. Die Stabilität wird zusätzlich erhöht, wenn Sie den Hohlraum in den Aussparungen mit Kleber ausfüllen. Dazu ist sowohl Zweikomponentenkleber als auch Baukleber geeignet.&lt;br /&gt;Wenn der Kleber vollständig gehärtet ist, können Sie die Konstruktion am ElektorWheelie montieren. Vergessen Sie die zentrale Mutter nicht, die auch das Radmitnehmerblech auf der Achse festhält. Sichern Sie die Mutter mit Schraubensicherungslack, damit sie sich nicht losdrehen kann.&lt;br /&gt;Durch diese unkomplizierte Maßnahme werden die Kräfte und Schwingungen verringert, die auf die Radmitnehmerschrauben einwirken. Das Rad wird ohne Spiel mitgenommen, die Schrauben können sich nicht mehr verformen oder brechen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2193364818555597845-9056876699861123848?l=ewheelie.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ewheelie.blogspot.com/feeds/9056876699861123848/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ewheelie.blogspot.com/2011/05/driver-plate-modification-for.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2193364818555597845/posts/default/9056876699861123848'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2193364818555597845/posts/default/9056876699861123848'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ewheelie.blogspot.com/2011/05/driver-plate-modification-for.html' title='Driver plate modification for ElektorWheelie'/><author><name>Thomas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01206034658667479098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_l74EulUz3Bk/Sjtls1umsWI/AAAAAAAAAAM/sZuNMFI_vV4/S220/TS+schraffiert.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MtWBqW0ghbM/TcqYvtn9bFI/AAAAAAAAAGg/2eGb_l2K_Jg/s72-c/wheel.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193364818555597845.post-7880682691562306140</id><published>2010-09-10T23:44:00.008+02:00</published><updated>2010-09-10T23:48:15.642+02:00</updated><title type='text'>New Monowheel from Ryno</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_l74EulUz3Bk/TIqfI0GpVmI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/1_V3jv6HNpM/s1600/MonoRyno.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_l74EulUz3Bk/TIqfI0GpVmI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/1_V3jv6HNpM/s320/MonoRyno.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Very interesting this product which must have been designed by a real genius, isn't it?

Tthe yellow tires are just an add-on &lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  color: rgb(32, 64, 99); font-family:verdana, Arial, Verdana, 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.elektor.de/XForum%5CImages%5CEmoticons%5Cbiggrin.gif" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana, -webkit-fantasy;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:verdana, Arial, Verdana, 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;color:#204063;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);  font-family:verdana, fantasy;"&gt;Sorry for my finger in front of the lens... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;---&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;Das Wheelie aufmotzen!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;Der Hauptgrund für diese "Updates" sind zwar die Forderungen der deutschen Vorschriften, die Reflektoren, Licht, eine Hupe/Klingel und so weiter fordern. Ein Funk-Tacho wäre auch nett und eine rücksetzbare Sicherung ebenfalls. Die gelben Reifen waren bloß eine Zugabe &lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="color: rgb(32, 64, 99);   font-family:verdana, Arial, Verdana, 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.elektor.de/XForum%5CImages%5CEmoticons%5Cbiggrin.gif" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-family:verdana, fantasy;"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Für meinen vor der Linse befindlicher Finger bitte ich um Verzeihung...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/X4wqzlCceWs&amp;amp;hl=de&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/X4wqzlCceWs&amp;amp;hl=de&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2193364818555597845-1461061526084894857?l=ewheelie.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ewheelie.blogspot.com/feeds/1461061526084894857/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ewheelie.blogspot.com/2009/08/pimp-wheelie.html#comment-form' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2193364818555597845/posts/default/1461061526084894857'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2193364818555597845/posts/default/1461061526084894857'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ewheelie.blogspot.com/2009/08/pimp-wheelie.html' title='Pimp the Wheelie!'/><author><name>Thomas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01206034658667479098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_l74EulUz3Bk/Sjtls1umsWI/AAAAAAAAAAM/sZuNMFI_vV4/S220/TS+schraffiert.jpg'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193364818555597845.post-7404190152494433358</id><published>2009-08-02T21:14:00.006+02:00</published><updated>2009-08-04T00:33:52.680+02:00</updated><title type='text'>1st Mods</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_l74EulUz3Bk/SnXnR3iwbsI/AAAAAAAAAE8/VBlu3nk8x2w/s1600-h/WheelieHupeLicht.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 402px; height: 600px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_l74EulUz3Bk/SnXnR3iwbsI/AAAAAAAAAE8/VBlu3nk8x2w/s400/WheelieHupeLicht.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365448825235336898" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;To make the ElektorWheelie more compatible with German law I added front + backlights and a horn.

The Distance from the top of the potentiometer axle tu the top auf the screw at the end of the steering rod should be within 0.5...2 mm. You need a 14 mm key for the nut of the potentiometer. Last not least you have to connect the screw with the potentiometer axle by tightening the two screws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;---&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;Poti&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;Nun sollte das Poti mit Hilfe seines Befestigungswinkel montiert werden, doch zuvor sollte man das kleine Messingröhrchen auf die Schraube am Ende der Lenkstange geschoben haben. Die Distanz der Schraubenspitze zur Spitze der Potiachse sollte etwa 0,5...2 mm betragen. Man benötigt einen 14-mm-Schlüssel für die Poti-Mutter. Nicht zu vergessen ist, dass man die Schraube mit der Potiachse mit Hilfe des Messingröhrchens verschraubt.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2193364818555597845-4985616675112508799?l=ewheelie.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ewheelie.blogspot.com/feeds/4985616675112508799/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ewheelie.blogspot.com/2009/08/potentiometer.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2193364818555597845/posts/default/4985616675112508799'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2193364818555597845/posts/default/4985616675112508799'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ewheelie.blogspot.com/2009/08/potentiometer.html' title='Potentiometer'/><author><name>Thomas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01206034658667479098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_l74EulUz3Bk/Sjtls1umsWI/AAAAAAAAAAM/sZuNMFI_vV4/S220/TS+schraffiert.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_l74EulUz3Bk/SnXGGvFXxUI/AAAAAAAAAEE/iHVdZT18h2s/s72-c/PotiMount.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193364818555597845.post-6040427468019249014</id><published>2009-08-02T18:30:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2009-08-02T18:34:15.860+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Steering Rod: Top of Support</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_l74EulUz3Bk/SnW_vePugcI/AAAAAAAAAD8/0oMsNPIftGA/s1600-h/BearingMounted.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 288px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_l74EulUz3Bk/SnW_vePugcI/AAAAAAAAAD8/0oMsNPIftGA/s400/BearingMounted.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365405353375596994" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  color: rgb(32, 64, 99); font-family:Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;font-size:13px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" ;font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" ;font-size:small;"&gt;The picture shows the steering rod tightened 3/4 with the top parts of the bearing supports.

Right: my ElektorWheelie as a pre serial production kit. Because I got the chance to get one of the wheelies as one of the first I was able to play with srews and nuts and steel sheets and motors an steel tubes and - last not least - electronic. Thank you Elektor! Working very very thoroughly it took me 3.5 hours to assemble the kit. Note well: without a manual. My training in precision mechanics some decades ago helped a lot &lt;img src="http://www.elektor.de/XForum%5CImages%5CEmoticons%5Cbiggrin.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This morning I was ready for my first ride. See how elegant this looks...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Zweites, aber Vorserienmodell: mein Wheelie&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gestern nachmittag wurde ein großes Paket geliefert - welchen Inhalts? Genau: Mein ElektorWheelie als RC1, einem Vorserien-Bausatz. Weil ich die Chance bekam, eines der allerersten Wheelies zu ergattern, konnte ich dann mit Schrauben und Muttern und Blechen und Motoren und Stahlrohren und - nicht zuletzt - mit Elektronik spielen. Dankeschön, Elektor! Da ich sehr sehr sorgfältig arbeitete, brauchte ich 3,5 Stunden bis ich das Kit zusammengebaut hatte. Wohl gemerkt: Ohne Anleitung. Meine Ausbildung in Feinmechanik vor einigen Dekaden machte sich hilfreich bemerkbar &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); "&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.elektor.de/XForum%5CImages%5CEmoticons%5Cbiggrin.gif" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); "&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Und heute morgen war ich dann startklar für meinen ersten Ausritt.

In the lab. But I did not dare to brake hard enough. So a cabinet at the floor helped me braking. Lucky me: nothing bad happened...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana, -webkit-fantasy;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;After five minutes I was able to drive the wheelie forward and backward, left and right - freehand!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana, -webkit-fantasy;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana, -webkit-fantasy;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;And the result is: I want one!

Ich wollte erleben, wie einfach oder schwer der Weg ist, bis man sich auf einem solchen motorisierten Tablett sicher fühlt.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana, -webkit-fantasy;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Georgia, fantasy;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;Und ich kann sagen: Es brauchte weniger als eine Minute, bis ich so übermütig wurde, dass ich Vollgas ausprobieren wollte. Im Labor, wohlgemerkt. Was ich mich hingegen nicht traute war, entsprechend stark zu bremsen. Von daher half mir ein Schrank im Flur bei meiner Bremserei. Und ich hatte Glück: Es ist nichts Schlimmes passiert...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana, -webkit-fantasy;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" ;font-family:Georgia, fantasy;"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana, -webkit-fantasy;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;Nach fünf Minuten war ich dazu in der Lage, mit dem Wheelie vorwärts und rückwärts, links und rechts zu fahren - freihändig!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana, -webkit-fantasy;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana, -webkit-fantasy;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;Das Resultat ist: Ich will eins!

Jan, the most experienced wheelie driver, demonstrates the new abilities of the virgin third prototype to Wisse Hettinga, the international editor in chief (in the door frame).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana, fantasy;"&gt;Prototype 2.2 is lowered compared to prototype 2.0. As one result the center of gravity is lower now. Therefore the new prototype got a new feature: passive self-balancing without the help of electronics and motor power. The wheelie can be switched off and it will not fall over (without driver).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana, -webkit-fantasy;"&gt;Furthermore, the software algorithms have been tuned to accelerate more precisely. The bearing of the handle tab has been improved to withstand stronger forces and to behave more responsive at the same time. Prototype 2.2 feels smoother than prototype 2.0.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana, -webkit-fantasy;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana, -webkit-fantasy;"&gt;---&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana, -webkit-fantasy;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Prototyp 2.2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:verdana, -webkit-fantasy;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana, -webkit-fantasy;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Georgia, fantasy;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;Mittlerweile war Chris Krohne eingetroffen mit einer absolut neuen Version 2.2 des ElektorWheelie im Kofferraum - direkt aus der Mechanik-Werkstatt und in tiefem Elektor-Blau. Jan als Wheelie-Pilot mit der größten Erfahrung veranstaltete eine Vorführung der neuen Eigenschaften des neuen und jungfräulichen Prototypen für Wisse Hettinga, dem internationalen Chefredakteur (im hintegrund im Türrahmen).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana, fantasy;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;Der Prototyp 2.2 wurde gegenüber dem Prototypen 2.0 tiefer gelegt. Ein Resultat war, dass nun der Schwerpunkt tiefer liegt. Von daher konnte der neue Prototyp mit einem neuen Feature aufwarten: passive Balance ganz ohne Unterstützung durch Elektronik und Motor. Der Apparat kann nun einfach ausgeschaltet werden und kann (ohne Fahrer) trotzdem nicht umfallen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana, -webkit-fantasy;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;Außerdem: Die Software-Algorithmen wurden überarbeitet um optimiertere Beschleunigung zu erreichen. Die Führung des Steuergriffs wurde stark verbessert und sie kann so wesentlich größeren Kräften standhalten, wobei gleichzeitig die Präzision der Lenkung gesteigert werden konnte. Prototyp 2.2 fühlt sich runder an als Prototyp 2.0.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Fe81uobTxRc&amp;amp;hl=de&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Fe81uobTxRc&amp;amp;hl=de&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2193364818555597845-8131603243556616708?l=ewheelie.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ewheelie.blogspot.com/feeds/8131603243556616708/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ewheelie.blogspot.com/2009/06/prototype-iii.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2193364818555597845/posts/default/8131603243556616708'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2193364818555597845/posts/default/8131603243556616708'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ewheelie.blogspot.com/2009/06/prototype-iii.html' title='Prototype 2.2'/><author><name>Thomas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01206034658667479098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_l74EulUz3Bk/Sjtls1umsWI/AAAAAAAAAAM/sZuNMFI_vV4/S220/TS+schraffiert.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193364818555597845.post-4519462679434757966</id><published>2009-06-19T15:58:00.013+02:00</published><updated>2009-06-27T17:25:38.707+02:00</updated><title type='text'>The 1st Attempt of Denis Meyer: With a Little Help From His Friends</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Only seconds later Denis became courageous&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt; enough to dare to try to climb onto the ElektorWheelie - assisted by Jan and lured by Antoine Authier, head of the Elektor Lab (left).

Jan shows how to conduct the wheelie by hand. Due to its self-balancing nature virtually no force is needed moving the wheelie forward and reverse. Steering is simple too: just move the handle bar left or right.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana, fantasy;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;---&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Der erste Versuch von Denis Meyer: Mit der Hand bewegen&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:verdana, -webkit-fantasy;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana, -webkit-fantasy;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold; "&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Das Wheelie wird eingeschaltet. Jan zeigt, wie man das Wheelie mit der Hand führt. Aufgrund der Selbst-Balancierung braucht es nahezu keine Kraft, um das Wheelie vor oder zurück fahren zu lassen. Die Lenkung ist ebenso einfach: Man muss lediglich die Lenkstange nach links oder rechts neigen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana, -webkit-fantasy;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/QyI_RwqqzXE&amp;amp;hl=de&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/QyI_RwqqzXE&amp;amp;hl=de&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2193364818555597845-6115583418682941565?l=ewheelie.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ewheelie.blogspot.com/feeds/6115583418682941565/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ewheelie.blogspot.com/2009/06/1st-attempt-of-denis-meyer-moving-by.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2193364818555597845/posts/default/6115583418682941565'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2193364818555597845/posts/default/6115583418682941565'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ewheelie.blogspot.com/2009/06/1st-attempt-of-denis-meyer-moving-by.html' title='The 1st Attempt of Denis Meyer: Moving by Hand'/><author><name>Thomas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01206034658667479098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_l74EulUz3Bk/Sjtls1umsWI/AAAAAAAAAAM/sZuNMFI_vV4/S220/TS+schraffiert.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193364818555597845.post-3862341404670855291</id><published>2009-06-19T12:53:00.010+02:00</published><updated>2009-06-25T15:38:32.272+02:00</updated><title type='text'>The 1st Attempt of Denis Meyer: Advice</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;During my visit I could watch the first attempts of Denis Meyer, a technical writer of the Elektor editorial staff. It is very interesting to see his steep learning curve. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=" -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Although he never stood on a wheelie before: after 2 minutes he no longer wanted to give it  back :D&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:monospace, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;We are located deep down in the cellars of the castle in which the Elektor Lab is located. Good in summer: thanks meter thick walls it is beautifully cool. Denis (right) gets a briefing and advice from Jan Visser, a member of the lab staff (left), who already is more experienced in riding the wheelie. The "machine" used is the second prototype of the wheelie with the version numer 2.0, presented on the cover of the &lt;a href="http://www.elektor.com/magazines/2009/july-august.984666.lynkx"&gt;July/August copy of Elektor&lt;/a&gt;. As you see (hear) in the following videos, Elektor is really international and multilingual. At the moment Dutch with some french and german phrases is spoken, because Jan is Dutch, Denis is French and I am German.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:monospace, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; font-family:monospace, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;---&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana, fantasy;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:verdana, fantasy;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="color: rgb(32, 64, 99);   font-family:Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;font-size:13px;"&gt;&lt;h3 class="post-title entry-title" style="margin-top: 13px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 13px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;a href="http://ewheelie.blogspot.com/2009/06/videos-round-1st-attempts-of-denis.html" style="text-decoration: none; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Der erste Versuch von Denis Meyer: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Ratschlag&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;Während meines Besuchs konnte ich beobachten, wie Denis Meyer, ein technischer Redakteur der Elektor-Redaktion, seine ersten Versuche in Sachen Wheelie unternahm. Es ist sehr eindrucksvoll, seine steile Lernkurve zu betrachten. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;Obwohl er noch nie zuvor auf einem Wheelie stand: Nach nur 2 Minuten wollte er das Teil nicht mehr hergeben :D&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:monospace, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;Wir befinden uns gerade tief in den Kellergewölben des Schlosses, in denen sich die Labor-Räume befinden. Gut im Sommer ist: Dank meterdicker Mauern bleibt es angenehm kühl. Denis (rechts) erhält eine kurze Einweisung und Tipps von Jan Visser, einem Mitarbeiter des Labors (links), der im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes schon über einige Erfahrung mit dem Wheelie verfügt. Bei der "Maschine" handelt es sich um den zweiten Prototypen des Labors mit der Versionsnummer 2.0, wie er auf dem Titelblatt der &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.elektor.de/jahrgang/2009/juli-august.988380.lynkx"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;Juli/August-Ausgabe von Elektor&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt; abgebildet wurde. Wie man in den folgenden Videos sehen (hören) kann, ist Elektor tatsächlich sehr international und multilingual. Im Moment wird gerade Niederländisch gemischt mit einigen Brocken Französisch und Deutsch gesprochen, da Jan Niederländer ist, Denis Franzose ist und ich Deutscher bin.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/YmUbMeTTwIw&amp;amp;hl=de&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/YmUbMeTTwIw&amp;amp;hl=de&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2193364818555597845-3862341404670855291?l=ewheelie.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ewheelie.blogspot.com/feeds/3862341404670855291/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ewheelie.blogspot.com/2009/06/videos-round-1st-attempts-of-denis.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2193364818555597845/posts/default/3862341404670855291'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2193364818555597845/posts/default/3862341404670855291'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ewheelie.blogspot.com/2009/06/videos-round-1st-attempts-of-denis.html' title='The 1st Attempt of Denis Meyer: Advice'/><author><name>Thomas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01206034658667479098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_l74EulUz3Bk/Sjtls1umsWI/AAAAAAAAAAM/sZuNMFI_vV4/S220/TS+schraffiert.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193364818555597845.post-7865820836549597644</id><published>2009-06-19T12:30:00.018+02:00</published><updated>2009-06-25T15:39:35.742+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Visiting Elektor: Prototypes</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_l74EulUz3Bk/SjtrBdrQ2HI/AAAAAAAAAAw/4LV1DEB8oes/s1600-h/Kasteel-Limbricht.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right;
