So what about motors that run for years at a time in all kinds of devices
such as computers, CD players, and recorders?

on van Zoelen's page. In other words, it moved to
http://vsim.freeservers.com/amiller/microcore.html

8789 Sun, 02 Jan 2000 21:52:41 -0800 [alt-beam] FLED's alt-beam@eGroups.com "Jonathan" Hi,
I reletivly new to BEAM (well, i've been at it for a few months but
have only come up with 2 Photovores and a bunch of ideas i can't try
yet:) and I was trying to make a FLED Solar Engine (I ran out of
1381's). I was wondering if a Blinking LED (from Radio Shack) would
work or does it have to be called a FLED. I was just wondering if it
can be ANY blinking, flashing, or Zenor Diode (And before I waste the
last of my solder, I have about an inch left).
Thanks,
Jonathan Smolders
