really, i thought that current produced a better magnetic field then voltage.
am i wrong? Do you think the solarbotics coils could handle that voltage?

motors, but I don't see how you'r gonna be able to use 330! -lol- Maybe put
a strobe-type flash on the top of a BEAM for tracking or something. I guess
if you employed some large diodes you could bring that 330 down to a usable
value, but I'm not sure how well it would work.
Just my $.03
