    Can Lead Acid Batteries Be Used in Parallel for Optimal Performance?

    Hello, I have 2 24V lead acid batteries in parallel to make a power supply for my circuit. I want to do some drain tests, and plot a curve for % energy remaining vs. time. The load on the battery isn't that large, and I don't want to have to supervise my experiment for 12 hours solid. Im...

    Generating using a DC brushed motor

    Ah, You need a more complex control system to run a brushless dc motor correct ?

    Generating using a DC brushed motor

    Please excuse me if this comment is stupid, but would it not be possible to use a brushless DC motor - and then there wouldn't be an issue of a noisy output signal ?

    Constant output from measuring angular speed

    The vehicle runs on pedal power, battery power and solar powar. It needs to be efficient as possible in terms of weight and performance as it will be racing. A support vehicle will be nearby throughout the race, analysing and recording performance data - so that race strategy can be changed...

    Constant output from measuring angular speed

    Yeah silly mistake, I meant once every two seconds. Im currently looking into using a frequency to voltage converter. If I know the voltage of each pulse, how easy is it to work out what components I would need to make a circuit such as this : http://www.national.com/mpf/LM/LM2907.html (the...

    Constant output from measuring angular speed

    Hello all, Im new to the site so please don't hurt me :blushing: ! My final goal is to measure linear speed of a pedal powered car, and send the speed wirelessly to my laptop which will record the speed profile. My problem is that I can't find a sensor that will measure angular...
