(ET) better lift/no tapping of the pack

[Jim Coate <jbc coate org>]

All this recent talk of ways to not tap the pack (dc/dc convertors, 
replacing the lift with linear activators, etc.) reminded me as I was 
ET-ing this evening:

A couple years ago when ordering some parts from Bill Gunn, he was in a 
chatty mood and told me that he had worked out the design for a Bigger 
Better Lift that would run from the full 36 volts. It sounded like he 
had maybe begun toying with a prototype but never got much further.

The last few times I've called it's been all business (maybe because I 
tend to know what I'm looking for now?) but if someone gets him on a 
quiet day and are seriously interested, might be worth inquiring.

Since this is Bill's livelihood, he can't spend his time talking and 
making one-off units.

To make it worth his while, I'd guess we'd need to round up a group of 
beta testers, willing to pay cash up front for him to set up a small 
run. If it worked well for the season, then it could become a regular 
stock item.

Maybe?
