Hello. I'm looking to build a strong electro magnet with ac power. I was going to use a MOT transformer so the primary was going to be the same windings. For the secondary windings though I'm trying to decide if I want to go with a higher current or voltage. I would assume that a stronger...

Yes sorry I meant inverter... Ok I will have to modify my plan a little then thank you all for the help! zig

Hello. So I'm trying to work on a project with capacitors. I have a twelve volt battery hooked up to a transformer that produces 120 v ac. I would like to then hook the transformer up to five capacitors in parallel and then use the power stored i the capacitors to shoot through my coils to...

Ok well that is good to know. Thank you for your help! Zig

Well I wanted to use something like this for the volt meter. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Digital-Voltmeter-AC-80-500V-Voltage-Measure-LCD-Panel-Meter-230V-110V-220V-/390895017063?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5b03289c67 But I'm not sure if I can use that or if I would have to use the half divider...

Hey guys so I'm working on a project with an Arduino. I need the Arduino to read from a LCD to tell it what the voltage of a capacitor is. If the voltage is to low I would like it I switch the circuit on to charge the capacitors back up. Anyone know where a good starting point would be? Thank...

Ok I will try and get it then show my work to make sure I'm doing it correctly. Thank you for the help! Zig

Ok well what I don't understand about that equation is the velocity part. I have been trying to do some reading on it, but I don't understand it. Is the velocity for the speed of the electron or something else?

Ok I'm using the equation B= unI n=N/L u=k(4*pie*10^-7) k=200 Once I plug in the numbers I get n= 18/.504=35.7142, u= 2.513*10^-4. So if I have 10 amps then my final number should be .0897 B. Did I do that correct?

Hello so I just want to make sure I Am doing this correctly. also I know there is a magnetic field force formula. That is F= qv (dot) B How would I go about using that formula with the magnetic field I created from the solenoid in the picture? Thanks for any help! Zig

Ok thank you! Zig

Hey guys I'm looking for. Some more info on eddies current. I understand how it works but all the examples I see use flat objects (coin shaped). Will eddies current still work in shapes like a sphere or cone? Thank you, Zig
