R60 rods, please... its the only thing i am still unable to get, and i have a hdd-ssg running with R19 rods which is worse than ferrite core before.. i have...
Rick, when we get more into the window motor would it be possible to make available a set of plans for making the motor for those of us who have access to a...
I don't think we are going to give the complete mechanical plans out other than the ideas. All the circuitry will be posted, and already is. The geometry has...
Hi Alex, my thoughts on your questions and comments are below. I hope my tests are as successful as yours. ... Permit me to opine that when it comes to...
... Discovery Networks FCC and Ofcom (in the UK) need to know this. Its very clear DIS-Covery Channel and associated networks are running on an agenda...
From time to time we get emails asking people for information in the form of apparent innocent questions. You will find that many of these people are just...
I do not believe that as a group our intrests would be best served by doing this. I personally don't care for the "mythbusters" or their masters. As has been...
the most inportant thing john said wsa to bulid as per the prameters he gives us. assume nothing if you think that you get it an go off the try atrue path 1.no...
Hi Rick and All, If we could agree on what the optimum twist should be, and if the trigger wire could bear to be the central strand that everything rotates...
Hi Warren, There are some good points there but I think it may be impractical to develop a central wire twisting jig or as it won't suit all of the different...
all 1 ohms test i have don were done with 1/2 wat 1.1 ohm res any of the other that said 2.4v is wrong /used nte 1/2 w 1.1 pn.hw1d1 it did not got hot at all...
Warren, I wind all my coils by hand and count them all. This way I can see all the wire and do a good job. I'm not going to sell unwound wire but rather I'll...
John, I admit I do like to make my own coils too. Having six, or eight ten pound spools of magnet wire on hand is more comforting than some bogus stock...
[Guy, I already responded to the question about does the 1 ohm test apply to other systems. Please read what I posted already. JK] u question dose it...
you don't have to use oscilloscope to see how many pulses you have per magnet: use Light Emmiting Diode. i put a le diode with resistor accross the trigger...

Hello John/Warren as an experiment I built a second coil for SSG with wires twisted together (3 twists/inch).When I installed twisted coil I say no real...
Yes, John made the difference between the words very clear when he first mentioned this some years back. He does not litz the wires but twists them. I've done...
Warren, Thanks. I am trying to consider all the options here. There is a difference between little motors for the shelf and big motors. So our construction for...
can we charge a lithium ion battery without doing it harm? will it charge above capasity like a led car battery? will it take a charge faster than others? any...
Hello Milan, With a 12v 25mA bulb in series with the trigger resistors on my setup, when the wheel is up to speed the bulb is flashing so fast it appears to be...
jgstreet, Most lithium batteries come with a sort of controller on them. It's supposed purpose is to protect the battery and to provide more regular discharge...
you have to point the LED to light the magnet over the coil as it moves past the coil.. if you dont see that, attach a small white strip of paper on the center...
You need to use an LED instead of the incandescent bulb you are using. Hope this helps, Josh ... From: h2ou123 <h2ou123@...> Sent: Thursday, October 02,...
Hi, I'm getting pretty close to finishing ccontruction of my first little window motor. It's got 6 4x2x1cm neos on a 6inch diameter rotor. I'm using the full...
Don't replace the grain of wheat bulb with an LED. An LED with a 330 ohm series resistor across the coil and white tape on the centre of the magnets works well...
