Nuckolls, III" Subject: Re: AeroElectric-List: old B and C SD-8 Dynamo failure Got Mark's SD-8 and original stock R/R running on the bench. The R/R seems to be fine too. I initially used a LiFePO4 battery (ETX36) in the test setup and observed some unexpected behaviors. Got a small lead-acid from the store a few minutes ago and put it on a maintainer. Will resume the experiment when the battery tops off . . . Bob . . . ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 03:37:21 PM PST US From: "Robert L.

I suspect you've got much better things to do than >'paleo-forensics' on this dated item. I've finished some preliminary operations on the as received SD8 and companion R/R. They seem to function pretty much as designed. 2800 RPM produces 3+ amps at 14.4v 3300 RPM produces 4+ amps at 14.3v 3800 RPM produces 8+ amps at 14.1v At the final load setting, current in the SD8 windings was 10.5 A(rms) I can return this hardware if you'd like to have it around for spares. At the same time, it would be interesting/useful to add it to the constellation of test tools I'm building around a 2HP drive-stand with and AND20000 spline pad on it. Emacs! As an interesting aside, test data were taken without a battery on line . . . this prevented pollution of current values dialed into the dynamic load bank. I was able to 'tickle' the dynamo-r/r into operation with a momentary application of battery power. On one fire-up/shut-down cycle, the capacitor was still charged to about 3 volts and the system came on-line with only a small fraction of start up excitation offered by the ship's battery.

I typed "Aviation" into the search box and got 861 results. Amazon claims there are almost a million charities in the system so if you can think of one, they're probably there. --Rick On 4/17/2017 12:02 AM, Richard Girard wrote: > Even the Soaring Society of America is on their list of organizations. > > Rick Girard > > On Sun, Apr 16, 2017 at 3:40 PM, Charlie England > wrote: > > > > > The recent link to an Amazon-listed product made me thing about > this; a heads-up if you have charitable tendencies.
