hi,

Not sure if this is the right newsgroup, but here it goes anyway:

Probably not.

[snip]

and now the tech savvy question: how does it work? is it magnetic? if
so, why can't shoplifters use a magnet to demagnetize it??? if it's not
magnetic, what is it???

Ask the company, it's Knogo.

I know some of them can be re-activated somehow, they did this in the
library back at university: when you check out a book they de-activate
it, when you return the book they activate it again.

The library uses one that's not the same.

magnetic??? something else??? curiuos, but more important, please I need
a solution for that purse :)

I think you are fishing for info on how to defeat their system.
OK, give me your address, I will ship you the purse. moron...

I'm searching for a small screen to attach to a computer using
paralell/serial or radio link (distance is at least 15 meters) for
viewing at least two numbers(digits) at a distance.
A computer language will send the information to the device.

If anyone knows of a comercial implementation of this i would be

I had neither unification theory nor multiple dimensions in mind.
Further, I
do not see why you brought them up.

If extra dimension exist then they extreemly tightly curled up (or we would
be able to detect them easily) so I guess you might be able make (something
like) a capacitor that stores (something like) charge in these extra
dimensions. Perhaps that might be a way round the problem that the breakdown
voltage is proportional to plate seperatiion - after all it's quite possible
for objects to be close together in some dimensions yet far apart in others.

Plain and simple - I am talking about the space betweer the surface of a
capacitor plate, and the molecular level.

Perhaps you made a typo and meant "_at_ the molecular level"?.
OK


. but thats also confusing. Every space exists "at the molecular level" even
large
spaces. It would be better to use SI units.

If you are talking about reducing the plate seperation until it's less than
a molecule wide then that's something we can discuss...
<--not thinking that it would be necessary to go that small.


A water molecule is about 3 x 10^-10 Meters wide (not that you would use
water obviously but it gives us sense of scale). How about using "Strontium
Titanate" ?. If I understand correctly that breaks down at about 8MV/M
(8,000,000 Volts per Meter). I don't know how big a Strontium Titanate
molecule is but lets assume it's the same size as a water molecule (it's
bigger) and that it still behaves like a dielectric in such thin layers
(unlikely)... we'll press on and make a capacitor with a plate seperation of
3 x 10^-10M. Having done that lets calculate what the max working voltage
would be....

Vmax = 8x10^6 x 3x10^-10 or about 24x10-4 = 2.4mV.

If you charge your capacitor beyond 2.4 milivolt the dielectric will fail.
I suggested low voltage, until dielectrics get better.


Oh dear not going to be much use is it?

Let's ignore that and the fact that things behave differently at the Quantum
scale... If the gap was reduced further you wouldn't be able to fit a
molecule of anything between the plates and you would have to use a vacuum.
That ok if you can keep the plates apart somehow? Lets reduce it further to
the atomic scale - say less than the diameter of a metal atom - At this
distance the plates are so close together that in effect they are one lump
of metal and electrons flow freely between them. eg our capacitor is now a
short circuit so that sets a lower limit.

Now what seperation do you propose exactly?
Very small - as small as the dielectric will allow.

Howdy,

Well I have the same motor and I think you may encounter a probably in trying
to stop it at specific steps. The motor controller I use changes the speed and
allows
me to alter the speed range but no matter what speed it is running at the motor
will
coast for a short period of time until it reaches a lower speed. I think if you
want it
to stop at several specific points you may have to use some kind of electric
clutch.

Somehow you have to have the lift disengage from the motor drive to overcome the

coasting effect of the DC motor.

Is this any help?

It looks like what you have is what is called a non-regenerative, two
quadrant controller, probably using armature voltage feedback. You'll not
get the kind of close control you need out of one of those, they're for
controlling conveyor belts, and things that need to run at constant speed
in one direction.

What you need is a four-quadrant, regenerative controller, which will
actually apply reverse torque for braking. you'll also get reversability
with one of those, without switching. You really nead proper speed
feedback (tachogenerator) to get best performance, though it can be done
without.

With the controller you've got, you're stuck with coast stops, the more
inertia you have, the worse it gets.

You *could* try this (maybe):

In sequence:

Shut off the AC supply

Using a changeover contactor, disconnect the controller from the motor,
then slug a damn' great power resistor of a few ohms across the motor
armature terminals. The motor is now a generator, and its sored energy
(flywheel effect), is being dissipated in the resistor (It'll get hot).
The motor will slow down at a rate determined by the value of the resistor, the
fewer ohms, the faster it slows down, but don't exceed the maximum rated
armature current.

When you've reached the state you want (lower speed or stop), reverse the
above steps.

I didn't tell you that! If you kill yourself or burn the building down,
it's YOUR fault!

Anyway, the switchgear will cost more than a proper controller.

Bring back Ward-Leonard sets, that's what I say :)
