Here’s another SNOT update. This time I’ve cobbled together an Arduino data collection system. The Arduino monitors the gate signal from the SNOT controller circuit by the use of the pulseIn() function on pin…
I rebuilt the base and electrode mounts of the maglev ES motor, to match the new pencil-less armature. I am also working on an Arduino sketch for pulse motor control, and here I decided…
Here’s the latest project, an optically-controlled magnetic levitator using the Arduino. The OSEPP Uno clone runs a sketch which senses the position and velocity of the levitated object, and sends a switching signal to…
To complement the earlier video on inductance measurement by resonating tank, I’ll now show a slightly different method used by the Arduino inductance meter. The Arduino uses a bit of external circuitry to “strike”…
Brand new wireless electricity extension – Remote Control vehicles Here’s my modified Micro Terrain Titan, converted to wireless electric charging. The pit stop area lights also run from wireless electricity. The 2 yellow LED’s…
Uprating the Simple Wireless Electricity circuit, this demo is of a higher output version. Changes are water and a diode to protect the power transistor used. Coil construction is of salvaged co-axial cable, 45ft,…
Here I’ve just taken the Wireless Inductive Power Transfer system another step along the conceptual process. With 18V input to the transmitter, I transmit the power across 3 inches of blank space to the…
Here’s a little Ultrasonic Ranger using the Parallax brand Ping ultrasonic transducer pair and the Parallax LCD display. Both are easy to use with the Arduino system. Just don’t try to supply more than…
A single RC servo and a couple of cheap CdS photoresistors make the Arduino “look alive” by making a simple light tracker. With just a few lines of code you can make the arduino…
The APMC (Arduino Pulsed Motor Controller) v1.0 is a very useful tool designed for helping the experimenter who want to explore the Delayed Lenz Effect or the Magnetic Lag Effect and want to test…
