> Any one in this group interested in magnets and magnetic materials? I am, in that I have a number of things I'd love to do with them that may or may not be possible, relating to my bike stuff. --magnetic shock absorbers and/or dampers --conversion of cieling fan motor to a usable brushless dc motor --latches, sensors, etc for bits of the project Unfortunatley the only way I know to find out if they'll work as I expect is to build stuff with them and see what happens; I don't have the magnets to do that with though, and no money to acquire them, for the foreseeable future. So it'd be interesting to see what presentation you do on the subject, especially if you do Q&A on ideas like this. -- -- Michael Elliott Cybernetic Necromancers, Discorporated Phoenix, AZ E-Bicycle Conversion Blog: http://electricle.blogspot.com To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk. --Thomas Edison <<>><<>><<>><<>><<>> You've received this message via Phoenix DIY: http://sternlab.org/phoenixdiy phoenixdiy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx If you're a maker, hacker, or crafter in the Phoenix metro area, join us for our monthly meetings!
