5965 Sat, 04 Sep 1999 14:31:29 -0700 [alt-beam] success and problems with solarengine alt-beam@eGroups.com emolson@capecod.net Hi everyone. I'm a beginner at BEAM, and I've just finished my first
solarengine (Type 1 with a FLED trigger). It has a few problems, tho. I only
have one motor that it works with (it came from a cassete player).
With the good motor, the cap powers up to about 2.4 volts, then spins the motor
till it gets to about 0.6-0.8 volts, then resets. With any other motor, it works
for one cycle, then 'sticks' at about 0.6 volts, while the motor just hums.
Can anyone tell me what's wrong?


Thanks in advance,

Eben Olson


P.S. I've heard some motors have small caps built into them which can cause
problems. Could this be the problem?
