Re: [RCSE] brake/permanent magnet winch motor

2000-11-26 Thread Matt Lydon

How do they do it with subway cars? It's my understanding that when they put
on the brakes on a subway car, they're actually charging UP batteries by
using the motor as a generator.wouldn't the motors just keep running
when connected to the batteries?

 Your solenoid normally comes with single pointer and single terminal for
make
 and break action only, will require to change into single pointer and one
of
 two terminals. This will enable one of two mode operation. When solenoid
is
 energized, it will select the battery +ve, or when de-energized will
select a
 loading resistor. The other end of the resistor will be terminated to the
 motor -ve terminal (not the battery -ve terminal). In winch braking
application
 we want to drain the energy out of the spool as soon as possible and that
calls
 for highest possible of generator load (current) and therefore minimum
 resistance value should meet that demand. The minimum resistance, however,
 should not be any lower than the internal resistance in the winch battery
under
 load at zoom-launch. Eventually, we are talking resistance a copper wire
may
 provide, while a current rating of an solenoid that can handle about 500
amp.

 ROOT CAUSE:
 The other less apparent cause is in the winch line. When the line is
loaded up
 with enough stretch, it will "shoot" back at the spool more than a spool
can
 take, thus enabling chance for entanglement. A non-stretch line and/or a
 "giant" parachute should be considered. (However, that work against the
 stretching line principle) A mechanically correct view is to omit the
braking
 assembly, instead, letting it free wheel after zoom and at the same time
effect
 drag in the winch line (starting from) in front of the spool through the
 turn-around  and up the O-ring end. That should address the problem at
the
 source. The number of ways to implement that is limited by our
imagination.
 Hope some of us will take it as an interesting new project. So keep us
update
 on your progress.

  How do you make an electronic brake work on a permanent magnet winch
motor.
 
  Some how or other you are supposed to turn it into a generator and run
it
  into a heavy load.
 
  Thankyou.

 was relatively clean, the South side had very dense vegetation 5-7' high
 (small trees, bushes,weeds) right up to the top - in other words, one
 couldn't really see off the ridge/down the slope in that direction (at least
 not standing on the ground).  Have you visited recently - what does it look

That pretty accurately describes it, but I remember looking down the south side and

How are these orders "strange". If they wanted to copy a model all it would
take is one.

 I have occasionally had strange order requests from Asian countries that
are
 known for having a lot of sweat shops.
 I just recieved one today from a Korea model importer/distributor (he
 claims). I am usually very suspect about these orders
 because most of these countries don't have a local RC population to
support
 the sales and I beleive they are just trolling for designs to copy.
 I have not replied to many of these in the past and was wondering what
some
 of the other kit MFG's have done when approached by "Asian importers"

[RCSE] Goop Differenceswas A chemical English Question

2000-11-26 Thread Jeb Bushell

Thanks for that info which proves what many suspected.
 A nice squeeze move on your part to get it.  

Do they use perchlorethylene and/or trichlorethylene
as solvents, i.e. nasty stuff that we can't buy and
can't substitute?  I have used mineral spirits and it
kinda works but it is not completely satisfactory.

For the benefit of all (again). Shoe Goo, PFM, and
Goop in all its
application names (Household, plumbers, marine, etc),
are all the same
product chemically speaking.

Why didn't I know of this before?!

I just quit RCSE subscription via AirAge.com and
reenlisted via eGroups - what a difference!

No more HTML (I can get it all back by ticking
a box on the subscription page, but I don't need
it - so good riddance!). Seems to take a day longer,
but I can live with that, too!


Thanks for the tip, guys!

[RCSE] fun,fun,fun

2000-11-26 Thread charlie

Hey guys
Well yesterday I decided to go fly power.. I few guys from our glider
guys showed up also with the same idea... Well we couldn't just fly
power,, we had to start towing up the zagi.. with some kite string. no
releases!! Sounds kinda iffy hey??
Well it worked great.. we even towed up a ninga... I fixed the string to
the top wingbolt on my 5th scale cub. and to the nose of the gliders,,
when we got high enough. I went to idle, and the glider just overflew
me. 
we just put the hook on the nose of the glider and used a ring...
Its fun to experiment
