Jun. 1st, 2010 10:46 amI have some more stuff to give away.
I have two or three elctric motors. They're things you'd bolt to a table next to a belt-driven tool of some sort and use to drive the belt. One of them has a pulley wheel that has grooves of three different diameters to control speed. I also have a belt-driven table grinder that I think badly needs new grinding wheels. Does that sound useful to anybody?
Secondly, I have some high voltage capacitors. I have two of them that are 15,000 volts at .5mfd, and are pretty hefty. I have a third one that's a little smaller and is rated at something like 12,500 volts. I forget exactly. The big 15 kilovolt ones have those awesome ceramic stand-offs for the terminals that make you feel like you're in a mad scientist's lab.
I wanted to build a coil gun with them someday, but I really don't have the necessary high voltage electronics knowledge, or space to play with them. I'm not a hundred percent sure they work, to tell the truth. I found them on the curb outside someone's house years ago.
Thirdly, I have what I think is a coil winder. It's an electric device that turns a spindle at variable speeds and has a counter that counts revolutions. I snagged it at a group garage sale with the intention of using it to wind transformers. Again, I really don't have the skill or space required to mess with such things.
If you'd like any of these things, please let me know. They are free to a good home, and I'd be really tickled if, in return, you show me what you make out of them some time. Right now, all this stuff is in my Swift, and it needs to go.
