Daily Home Renovation Tips每日家裝修秘訣

In在…內 Part 1第1部分 and和 Part 2第2部分 of our series of articles on our own new solar charged lawn mower, we described the primarily energy conservation reasons why the new solar charged lawn mower from Linamar Consumer Products superior over current gas-powered, manual and electric cord / electric battery powered models.我們的系列文章對我們自己新的太陽能被控草坪割草機，我們形容，主要是節約能源的原因，新的太陽能被控草坪割草機從linamar消費產品優於目前的氣體動力，手動及電動帘線/電池供電的電動模型。

Today, we would like to examine the mower itself, energy conservation and environmental reasons aside.今天，我們想研究割草機本身，節約能源及環保理由擱置。 I work too hard for my money thank you very much to throw it away on anything that will not add value, as they say, and satisfy or even exceed my needs.我工作太辛苦，為我的錢，非常感謝你把它遠離對的事，不會增加價值，正如他們所說，滿足或什至超過了我的需要。

This mower is a cordless, self-propelled 24V electric lawn mower.這割草機是一個無繩，自推進的24 V電動草坪割草機。 We chose the 19 inch version but it also is available in a 21 inch model. The pictures below are without the rear grass collector so they may look different from pictures you see in advertisements for this product.我們選擇了19英寸的版本，但它也可在一個21英寸的模式。下面的圖片，都沒有後方基層收藏家，所以他們可能看起來不同，從圖片你看到在廣告中為這項產品。

Some of the features aside from the engine which we really like include:一些功能，除了發動機，我們真的很喜歡，包括：

• 7 height levels, all achievable by a single lever 7高度層，所有實現由單一的槓桿
• ergonomic handle bar人體工學處理酒吧
• push button start按下按鈕啟動
• extra wide wheels to reduce the impact on the grass, even though the mower is actually very light weight, weighing only 49 kg / 108 pounds額外廣泛的輪子，以減少影響，對基層，即使割草機其實是很重量輕，重量只有49公斤/一百〇八磅
• self propelled to help ease the manual effort on hills or over a large lawn自我推進，以助紓緩該手冊的努力，對丘陵或以上的大草坪
• extra large 65 litre rear collection grass catcher特大型65公升後方收集基層捕手
• side discharge (on 21 inch model)方放電（ 21英寸機型）
• mulch mode (our personal favourite)地膜模式（我們的個人最喜愛的）

But, all of the above features aside, we have to talk about the engine (don’t worry, I am not an engineer so I won’t talk in gibberish but in language I can understand).但是，上述所有的功能之外，我們已談論引擎（不用擔心，我不是一個工程師，所以我不會在會談無用，但在語言上我是可以理解的） 。 I also have to thank my more knowledgeable internet friends ‘mikebeavis’ from Delaware and ‘jcoffman’ from Denton, Texas over at treehugger.com for helping me understand some of this stuff.我也要感謝我更了解互聯網的朋友mikebeavis '從特拉華州和' jcoffman '由Denton ，德克薩斯州超過在treehugger.com幫助我了解一些東西。 (Mike and Jason, you are now stars!) （邁克和傑森，你現在顆星！ ）

The lawn mower runs on what is called a ‘ brushless ‘ motor.草坪割草機上運行什麼是所謂的' 無刷 '馬達。 Now while this page from the現在，而在此頁從 Terra Phase Power System web site特拉三相電力系統網站 does a real nice job outlining all kinds of differences between a brush and brushless motor, what follows are the attributes or differences which stand out for me.是否一個真正的好工作，概述了各種分歧，一刷及無刷電機，以下是屬性或分歧，站出來為我。

And, please recognize that I have no personal experience running any tests on anything technical here; I am relying on the above web site for any statistics.和，請認識到，我沒有個人的經驗，運行任何測試，任何技術在這裡，我依賴於上述網站的任何統計數字。 Remember, I am a simple residential home owner.請記住，我是一個簡單的家庭擁有住宅。 However, of what I understand so far, all of the following does make sense to me:然而，什麼樣的據我所知，到目前為止，所有的下列是否有意義對我說：

• With a brushless motor, there are no brush contacts to wear out.與無刷電機，有沒有刷接觸磨損。 This gives both the advantage of no maintenance on the motor as well as a longer life.這使雙方的優勢並沒有維持對汽車以及更長的使用壽命。
• A brushless motor is 20% or so more efficient as there brushes need to maintain contact with something they call a ‘commutator’ at higher speeds. 1無刷電機是20 ％或20 ％ ，使更有效率的作為有刷需要保持聯繫，與一些他們所謂的'位子'以更高的速度。
• Lower noise levels.較低的噪音水平。 Brush type motors need the friction between the brushes and the other engine parts whereas with a brushless motor there is less friction刷型汽車需要之間的摩擦，刷子和其他引擎零件，而與無刷電機有少摩擦
• Brushless motor is lighter as it requires less parts無刷電機是較輕的，因為它需要較少的零件
• No maintenance as there are no brushes or springs or cleaning or gear box to wear out.沒有維修有沒有刷或彈簧或清洗或齒輪箱穿出來。 As well, the brushless motor is fully sealed and therefore not exposed to debris.同時，無刷電機是完全密封，因此不會接觸到的碎片。
• Per the above web site, a brush type engine can run for around 2,000 (likely before needing to replace the brushes) whereas this brushless motor can run for around 15,000 hours or longer because in part there are no brushes to wear out or replace. ％以上的網站，毛筆型引擎可以運行，為2000年左右（可能之前，需要以取代毛筆） ，而這無刷電機可以運行大約一點五〇 〇萬小時或更長一些，因為在部分有沒有刷到磨損或更換。
• With a brushless motor the friction caused by brushes is absent, therefore the motor is exposed to lower heat which also helps to increase its life span與無刷電機的摩擦所造成的刷子是缺席，因此，汽車是暴露於低熱量，其中也有利於增加其壽命

Now, there is more to this engine.現在，有更多的這個引擎。 Did you know it has an on board computer?你知道它有一個在船上的電腦嗎？ I didn’t.我沒有。 Here are some of what this little gadget will do, again courtesy of the above web site:這裡有一些什麼樣的這個小工具將盡，再次禮貌上述網站：

• Stop the motor from overheating should it ever occur停止電機過熱，應它以往任何時候都發生
• Manages the acceleration and speed of the motor to the cutting conditions, allowing the electric charge in the batteries to run longer by conserving power when not mowing heavy grass管理加速度和速度，汽車到切削條件，使電荷在電池的運行不再受保護的權力時，不能刈割重基層

Wow.哇。

Tomorrow, we will write about (and, yes, with lots of pictures明天，我們將寫（和，是的，很多圖片 ) our installation of the solar charging station. ）我們安裝的太陽能充電站。 To continue with the next article in this series, simply select this link to繼續與下篇文章在這一系列，只需選擇此鏈接 Part 4第4部分 . 。
