Yes, it is possible to derive a nice smooth "AC waveform" from DC using
"solid-state"... But why??? It is far cheaper and easier to derive a square
wave... More efficiently too...

form of energy... I would liken it to a bad spring from which only a small
return of compression energy is returned...
However!!! you have given me another idea... Has anyone ever built a
helicopter or airplane that is on one side of a balance so that when the
solarengine fires it will launch into flight??? I picture a character forker
DR-1 triplane with solar panel upper wings... sitting on a desk ... when the
engine fires it pulls the plane forward around the circle ... wings lifting
it off the runway... and making three or four turns before slowly stelling
back down again... OR... maybe a mobile hanging from the ceiling with a
small blimp on one outstretched arm and a plusher prop???
Thanks for the juice... now I don't think I will get much sleep tonight :)

Sometimes, depending on the application you need a smooth waveform.

No sorry, I was thinking far less grandeur... A small model, maybe 3 inches
long, hanging by a string on a wire and counterbalance so that it is free to
rotate around in a circle, about 30 inches in diameter...
I just have a thing for blimps and old aircraft :)

send the BEAM list a new email every day from one of those fake addresses.
I'm not sure that that email means anything. It could be the culprit or
just someone who never checked their email in a very very long time. Does
anyone know who runs this list?? Maybe we can ask him to set up a filter if
this problem persists.

the rise within the galileo thermometers is on the
basis of fixed/rigid containers within, making volume
and mass constant. However, if one uses non-rigid
structures, volume and mass can fluctuate in

I just thought I'd be a pratt and mention that I've had one of these
underway for a while. I say this not because I want to take any wind out
of your sails (I wouldn't be working on one if it didn't seem like a
great idea :-), but at my current rate of progress, anything anyone else
attempts will be finished long before mine, and when mine is finished,
I'd like it to sound credible if I claim that I independantly arrived at
the same idea as you, rather than just grabbed it and acted on it :-)
(Not that there is anything wrong with copying - you just get extra
brownie points for coming up with something yourself :-)
Hmmm, there should be a word in the BEAM lexicon for the above message,
so instead of writing all that, I can just say "I'd like to register an
'independant arrival' on that concept", or something...
Or does no-one think like me and you all think I'm strange for posting
this message?

>hush for now but need to find out how AC generators are built.
Use half a DC generator :)
Generators usually work by either rotating a coil in a magnetic field,
or rotating a magnetic field around a coil. The result of this simple
process is AC, where each cycle of AC corresponds to each 360 degree
turn made by the coil (or field).
This is why there are brushes in a cheap DC motor - as the shaft
rotates, the brushs connect to different pads and invert the power in
the coil, thus you get a constant direction from a constant current.
Spin the shaft yourself and you have a (mostly) DC generator. Take the
brushes out and you have an AC generator. (Except that probably means
rebuilding the motor from scratch :)
A better AC generator would have the magnets on the shaft and the coil
attached to the case. No other components necessary.
Of course, depending on how much AC you want to generate, this info is
probably useless :-)

We call that "parallel evolution". :)
