Strobe Lights.

I have an old Maytag clothes dryer. (and a Maytag washing machine too)
The clothes dryer wont automatically turn off by itself.Whenever I use
the clothes dryer, I have to remember I have some clothes in there.I
have gotten to where I can guees how long to leave my clothes in there
and then I manually turn off the clothes dryer.I only use the machine
when the weather is bad.Otherwise I hang my clothes on the clothes line
in my back yard.

You need to adjust the strobe light

a strobe light?

Yes, you can hold a strobe disk up to your eye.
This is a painted-black disk with one slot, spun
(often by hand) so as to block a peephole. Instead
of turning the light on/off, you block your line of sight to the fan
except during the slit-crosses-the-peephole instants.

It doesn't have to be your eye, of course, you can
put a camera behind the peephole and observe the photograph
in any lighting you find desirable...

   It also occurred to me that superbrite white LED's should fire very
quickly so by using a 555 timer and an appropriate driver would give you
a quick strobe !

Maybe, maybe NOT. The 'white' LEDs use blue or UV emitters
and phosphors, so part or all of the light output is delayed.
A gas-discharge lamp (like xenon or even neon) has better
timing control. It also tolerates high-brightness/low duty cycle
better than a semiconductor.
 
A few days ago, I looked on the web for,
LED Strobe Lights

I might buy one just to play with.I think it would be cool if the auto
companies could/would figure out a way to ''strobe'' the wheels on those
cars.

Oh, they can strobe all kinds of crap.

Here in the Bay Area, there's a particularly annoying application of
strobes in the BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) subway in San Francisco. If
you look out the window between two of the stations on one side*, you
can see faint but visible moving images, kind of like an old-time
kinescope, with advertising themes. The pictures are placed on the wall
in a strip, and the strobe is apparently on the train and synched to the
train's speed past the pictures.

Some frigging genius has figured out how to turn even idly looking out
the window into yet another way of getting our money.


* Between Embarcadero and Montgomery, southbound, looking out the south
side of the train.

because it generates considerable business for me in consulting and
upgrades. As long as there is hardware and software out there that
doesn't work, I stay in business. Incidentally, my company motto is
"If this stuff worked, you wouldn't need me".

He's a troll. Do you expect him to make sense?

I don't know if he is a troll or just a bit strange. I know people in real
life like this. Half of what they say makes perfect sense, but then they go
off on some wild tangent. You walk away wonering what just happened..
Whatever the case, half the time he asks somewhat valid questions. The other
time I don't know what he is talking about.

Look at his posting history on the rec.radio.shortwave group. There
is no doubt that he is a troll.

I'll take you word for it, I know your pretty sensible. I remember back the
first time I saw his posts I thought he had some valid questions, but thats
been quite a long while ago and I've had no usenet acess for the last 6
months, so I've got no idea what kind of crazy stuff he's been saying.

He was bragging on the shortwave group about stealing things from
Goodwill stores by switching the price tags from something cheaper, and
having sex with his dog.
