Hello Sylvan. The 'Energise to release'-type cost around 200 US$ and the 'Energise to hold'-type are around 70 US$ This price difference makes me test the...
Hi. I have chosen an electromagnet that has a power consumption of 9 Watt with 24 V DC (if I understand it all right). How much VA or mA is that? Because VA...
... Watt with ... the power ... Sinces its DC its pretty easy to calculate. I = P/E = 9Watt/24V = 0.375A = 3750mA If your want to know the resistance of the...
As far as i know: V x A = WATT mA = A * 1000 24V x A = 9W 9W / 24V = 0.375A * 1000 = 375mA? VA is what? VOLT * AMP? Regards Sylvain ... Watt with ... the power...
Hi Tero This is what I was thinking of for switching magnets: http://www.rare-earth-magnets.com/SearchResult.aspx?CategoryID=21&KeyWords=Segment&All=True nsn...
Hi all. I added a new video clip with Graham's one way gate. The quality is not the best but the experiment looks good. I must apologize that it is still WMV ...

Hi. I hope you don't mind that I placed the Parallel Path pictures in an own folder in the file section of the group. I did some reorganization in that file...
I'm very excited to hear about Grahm's one way gate. I can't view the .mvw on win 98 so I'll have to wait for other reports. Don Adsitt did get some escapes...
Eric Don't mind at all.. I have moved my photo to the Parallel Path folder in Files. So Ron's Stuff is empty but it won't let me delete the folder in Photos....
How do you all draw so expertly. What equipment do you have. Is there any free downloads for some of ya'alls drawing programs? I have a magnetic gate that...
I can just answer this for myself but it is amazing what one can do with mspaint. But there is free software like: http://free-cad.sourceforge.net/ for making...
Hi everyone, Can someone please list the parts needed to create a minato wheel? If anyone has created one already, can then let me know the rpm's. Thanks, ...
Hi. The specifications of the parts for the 'real' Minato wheel are unknown. But the link http://www.fdp.nu/thebook/ has a menu point that is called:...
I think what is missing is there needs to be two of these on a metal track like the Adsitt ramps with opposite polarities up so that each end is attracted then...
