Subject: [alt-beam] more on motors
OK, so how critical is the current consumption of a particular motor in a
solarengine?
I guess pager motors must be pretty low current, otherwise they'd kill
the batteries in pagers rather quick.
Is there a theoroetical limit to how much current you can draw from, say,
a 1381-based solarengine? Would the storage cap affect that limit much?
It's just that I have quite a few small Mabuchi motors from various
things, like a printing calculator, tape recorder, and a couple of tape
rewinders...
And I thought they might be suitable for a photopopper or solaroller.

You need some sort of feedback. Either Springs, or mechanical endstops.

i have mechanical stops now,, but there just nasty looking. i just wanted to
know if there was a better way to do it.
