Hi, Is your capacitor a low ESR(Equivalent Series Resistance)type? Some of the short fat (Token) capacitors have a high internal resistance which prevents them...
Hello Woody, The 0.33 uF is rather large. Your competition will have finished before the capacitor charges up. Another item to keep in mind is that the light...

Hi all, Sorry, just couldn't resist. On topic, however, I was considering the RoboSapien "dummies". The first thought was how much it would cost to buy one if...
THANKS to all who helped out! I really appreciate all of you sharing your knowledge and experience. The capacitor I anm using is a Gold cap (long and thin). I...

Hello Physics, ... It is not simply the US versus China, nor is spending on patents the only denominator. The EU is also in the race and, by at least one...
Hello All, Is there s BEAM magazine out there for sale? Or what is the best magazine for BEAM related stuff? If there isn't a BEAM magazine out there, has...
Hi everybody Recently, I've bought lots of Indutors for a very cheap price, but I can't find aplication for then on BEAM robots. I was reading something about...
Inductors An inductor, a diode, and a cap can be used to make an oscilator ( I think). I read that when I was researching crystal radios. But I am not sure if...
... Are you looking at one of the graphs, or assuming the part number has something to do with capacity? Elsewhere, they rate their AA at 2850mAh and 143...
http://www.elecdesign.com/Articles/ArticleID/5886/5886.html posted sometime ago by Bill Westfield, shows a simple voltage converter design using an inductor...
The coincidence is confusing but I picked the mAhr capacity from one of the curves. As you point out, in table 1, the rated capacity of the mn1500 (AA) is...
