    NO Reed switch in a magnetic field?

    So I went to Didikey and found some reed switches. Some of the choices are 'must operate' and 'must release'. I imagine this is where ones choices NO or NC. and that is what I'm not able to decifer between the two states. What's confusing is that one type lists 'must operate' but does not...

    NO Reed switch in a magnetic field?

    An informative reply, thanks Mike. I'm not an electrical anything but you gave me food for thought, a direction allways helps.

    NO Reed switch in a magnetic field?

    Thanks guys, exactly the answer I was looking for, just needed it to be confirmed. Many Thanks Robin

    NO Reed switch in a magnetic field?

    NO Reed switch in magnetic field. What I'm wondering is, a normaly open switch is closed in the presents of a changing magnetic field. Would the switch be closed when the field is present but not changing? I'd rather use a Hall sensor but know very little in how I would hook that up to my reed...

    Flywheel generators in vehicles.

    Thanks xxchrisxx I read the links you provided. As you mentioned above, work the flywheel into a generator or CVT. My flywheel is the rotor which is a bronze ring that houses neodynium magnets on the interior of the ring or doughnut . The axis of rotation is at right angle/perpendicular to...

    Is Anti-Gravity Levitation Possible for Human Transport?

    Good point, So then would it be entirely possible to have a strong enough electromagnetic pluse or sucessive pulses, that would be directed to a diamagnetic material such as water. To levitate over? What type of form would this pulse be or better yet, what if any would be expected to happen to...

    Is Anti-Gravity Levitation Possible for Human Transport?

    Absolutely, That never came to mind. Like the helicopter floats on air, independent of Earth. Thanks.

    Can Magnet Doors Launch a Spaceshuttle into Outer Space Without Using Fuel?

    It doesn't shield it, its redistributed. So the field is no weaker, its just being bent around again. Look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halbach_array this redirects the field very effectivley. A fridge magnet does the same to a much weaker extent. The HD mags can be taken off by simply...

    Is Anti-Gravity Levitation Possible for Human Transport?

    Fictious meaning that we doen't have anything, as of yet, that can levitate not above a mechanism that aids in its apparent floating capability. Such as a levitating spining top and the base that it needs to float on. Or an electomagnet that turns on and off repeadedly to give the illusion of...

    Understanding the Disappearance of Light: A Physics Newbie's Question Answered

    Interesting thread, "This space for rent" I love that. Good play on words. I observed a falling star and it appeared seemingly from no where into a long streek and then disapeared. Knowing that this light had traveled a milenia of years to reach my eye and, in this case, that light has a...

    Is Earth's Magnetic Field Affecting My Homemade Compass?

    In the mean time look up Newman motor. My setup is very similiar, but mine uses a hemisphere bifiliar wound coil underneath the rotor and most the important difference is that my axil is not fixed. Its free floating to be able to follow a track around, inside the cylindercal housing...

    Is Earth's Magnetic Field Affecting My Homemade Compass?

    Yes the power used at this time is an AC/DC standard, variable DC voltage transformer you can pick up at you local electronics store. 120VAC to 9VDC. I'm using 9V. Do you know anyone that is willing to FEMM this? In this way we all can be more clear. Thanks

    Is Earth's Magnetic Field Affecting My Homemade Compass?

    Ok, I'll need to put it all back together today inorder to upload a pic. Or would a vid be better. Now that I say that, I don't think vids are allowed in this forum. Do you know anyone that is willing to FEMM this for us?

    Is Earth's Magnetic Field Affecting My Homemade Compass?

    1. Ok we're in sink imagining a ball cut in half.” 2. I ment 1/2 sphere or one hemisphere but not one quartar of a sphere. The lower half of a ball. 3. Yes the bifilar winding has a hemispherical shape. The coil is wound parrallel to what would be the equatorial line around a...

    Can someone explain time slowing down

    Earlier today I was driving along the highway to test something. I wanted to see if I could slow time down, all to find that I only had more time. As I went along the road I purposely set my rate of speed at an average to other motorist. All the while I safely cut every corner on this double...
