This idea is still in use today with proportional hydraulic valves; you use a PWM frequency that is low enough to induce a slight continuous vibration in the valve, to overcome stiction. > On Apr 10, 2022, at 6:49 PM, Chris Albertson > wrote: > > I'd say this thing was a vibrator with a DC

Clearly OT! Indeed electronics have   come a long ways since then. I still have my Dad's 200 w-sec strobe. Oil filled caps from Edmund Salvage dumped to the flash tube with a thrytron. Later vintage an electronic ignition, nice toroid 6 v to 400 v converter and a decent SCR for my   PV544

That brings back memories. The fun of being at Grandma and Grandpa's was the Popular Mechanics and Popular Science magazines I could page thru when visiting. I remember all the pages in the back of the magazine where people were trying to sell things, I always wanted a VW Bug replica car

Really nothing to do with LCNC or even automation. I've been cleaning out old shelves and I have piles of Popular Electronics Magazines. This one from December 1965 (yes, almost 57 years old) has an article on how to improve model trains so they start slowly or crawl rather than lurching
