Garage vs Car Cover

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember Adrian saying something like:

Securing bolts are optional; just ask Krusty's dad.

You mean one of these?

I take it it has to be engine end closest to the post to aid balance? Wouldn't that affect access to the underside of the engine?

AFAIK, a single post lift is usually used to lift one corner of a car at a time.

But that one has 4 lifting pads and a platform, with adustable arms for the pads? Which suggests lifting the whole car.

Unless it can lift from one side with the platform under the centre of the chassis/floor pan.

Cool - an electrical flywheel. If it actually works, that is.

I was concerned about the ability of single phase motors to start under load, particularly the cheapo motors of the type sold by Machine Mart and the like. The auxiliary motor idea for three phase applications is, aiui, usually used with the old type of capacitor-based converter. I used a Variable Frequency Drive, which can do all sorts of clever things like ramping up the speed at a pre-set rate, but needs a motor which can be connected in delta.

As for 1,2, or 4-post: I don't think there's a single "right answer". I do find I quite often use a bottle jack on the ramp, say to hold a patch in place while I weld it or to partly compress suspension.
