Hi Bob,
Do you know if the John Deere/Kubota type dynamos require a certain
direction of rotation...or will they work spinning in either direction?
Thanks a bunch!

| Subject: | Automatic Headlight Hi/Lo Fallover Circuit |
I'm wondering if there is a device I can install on my landing lights that
will sense when the high beam filament has failed and automagically switch
the current to the low beam filament.
I'm using the single source/single switch wig-wag system, as per
http://www.aeroelectric.com/PPS/Lighting/WigWag.pdf pg 3.0 and have only one
wire to each light.
My landing lights are a Bob Olds design and utilize dual filament automotive
H4 halogen bulbs, one per side. I would like to have something (preferably
home brewed - read low $$$) at each headlamp that will fall over to the low
beam so I can double bulb life, reduce maintenance and save a little money.
Thanks,
Tony Kirk

They are PM devices with no fans or brushes. They run
equally well in either direction.

Take a look at US Patent 5630384 for details of the Slick design....

Thank you! I'd poked around in those archives some years ago.
It's amazing how many TINY variations on a theme were awarded
the "protection" of a patent. There's as many ways to electrically
light a fire as there are types of transistors.
I'll poke around in the "pile" again pretty soon.
My retirement "party" is today at 1:00 in my soon-to-
be-former-office at Beech/RAC/Hawker-Beechcraft. This
is not going to be the event that most attendees of
such gatherings have come to expect.
The parting words of most folks deal with plans to spin-down
professionally and go fish, garden, putter in the shop,
spoil the grandkids, etc.
I'm going to tell my colleagues that I'm leaving because
it isn't fun any more. My consulting clients have more
fun tasks to do than I care to take on. I'm going to suggest
that folks at HB use me as a personal resource for any
manner of support that I have the time and willingness
to offer.
I'll continue to offer the lunchtime learning sessions
and Saturday morning classes at NIAR. I'll suggest
that folks can call me any time if there's something
they think I might be able to support. THIS retirement
isn't about slowing down. It's first about restoring
enthusiasm for my profession and second, an attempt
to plant the seeds of curiosity, energy and joy for
finding things out in folks I work with.
This isn't the end of an old activity but the beginnings
of a new way to expand on the best I know how to do.
I'm going to suggest that interested individuals join
us here on the List.
Had a meeting with one of my new principals last
evening. Seems we do our best thinking over a plate
of tacos and plenty of beer down at Connie's el-Mexico
cafe. Walked out of that restaurant with a host of
new things to do!

Bob,
Best wishes in your New Beginning called "retirement".
I hope that you continue to find fun things to do.
My RV-6A, completed 2-1/2 years ago contains an electrical system based
on your concepts and your Z-11 with very few changes.
Many components came from either Aeroelectric or B and C.
I am sure that there are many other RV and other OBAM builders and
owners who appreciate your generous efforts and inputs to improving the
state-of-the-art of aircraft electrical systems.
I suspect, also, that the venom of the detractors is more evidence of
envy than scientific disagreement.
Keep up the good work and enjoy your changes in activities.
Best regards,
Richard Dudley

Congratulations Bob,
It is wonderful to be able to retire from a position that has become a job
to a new career phase that you again find exciting and rewarding.
This morning I asked my wife what day it was today. Friday she said. At the
end of my first career I alwasy knew when it was Friday!!
Good luck. Remain productive. Have fun and enjoy each day.
And thank you for being on the Aeroelectric List. My airplane was finished a
few years ago. I think I asked you my first question somewhere back about
1995 or so. Now this List is about learning and enlightenment for the sake
of knowing.
