Subject: [alt-beam] Re: banners@beambotix
quick tip: use <.a href="adress_here" target="_blank">link<./a>
so that even when people click on the banner they are still on the website, and the sponsor will have its own window.

A typical 500W Halogen is what I use...

no problem

The down arrows are negative (or ground as it is more commonly refered to)

UniCore, hard to tell without a webpage or somekinda description though

The only thing that is internal to the chip is inverters, little triangles.

Like before, ground is negative, negative is ground, so hook negative to the
arrows.

intertia of the pulling would cause the object to move forward (an object at
rest tends to stay at rest). then you reset the solenoid with a rubber band
that wouldn't cause much inertia. this is the net motion you acheive.

12224 Mon, 20 Mar 2000 18:31:16 EST [alt-beam] Solar panel solder beam@sgiblab.sgi.com BUDSCOTT@aol.com I was tryin to solder my rat shack solar panel today when i discovered that
one of the non tinned sides was a real pain to solder. I eventually gave up
when i decided that anymore heat would destroy the panel. Whats the deal? are
these panels made some specific way so that it is impossible to solder to the
one side? I'm gonna use it to boost current for one of my photovores (even
though my dad reamed me sayin, "its not gonna work, blah blah blah, you gotta
equilize the currents and light coming to the cell, blah blah blah," whether
he's right or not i'm still pissed at him for being sucha jerk about it)
