Dave Brown playing for a while:)
Project Ideas
| Project | Status | Notes |
| Reconfigurable sailing proa | mostly inactive, built small bits | Rob Denny at http://www.harryproa.com has some interesting things to say about Proas and how they could be the basis for a cheap, high performance, spacious sailing cruising boat. Perhaps the ideal cruising boat :). I want to explore the sailing characteristics in a model. |
| LED lights and lenses for my bike | active | http://pilom.com/BicycleElectronics/DynamoCircuits.htm explains the matching of LEDs to bike generators. I plan to have several strings of LEDs with different beam angles and aiming points - and the appropriate string of LEDs turned on for the current bike speed.
Success criteria:

| mirrored coils | wild ass | wind two coils on the same core, one left hand the other right hand and link them together. I think they should act as a filter of some sort, because the emf generated by the first travels faster than the electrons and reinforces the current in the other coil, smoothing out the edges of each pulse. The filter frequency being related to the speed of light and electrons in copper and the coil winding length. Maybe there would be less energy lost in the filter? |

GDT 420v surge arrestor for 240v (if my calculations are right)
wire to board screw connectors 300V 20A
Electrolytic Cap 50v, 2200uF, 8k hours lifetime, 3A ripple current, 23mOhm inductance, ?ESR.
