I decided to use your approach on the electromagnet and used aluminum as the end caps to hold the windings straight and true, haven't wound the windings as yet. I think I am going to cross drill the T handle hole like I did on my first e-magnet and may weld it in place instead of knurling the T.Einstein your magnet is much prettier than mine
I spent a week making mine. The aluminum spacers I made on my metal lathe. But wooden spacers would have done just as well.
Pop onto Amazon and take a look at the Tacima 240/120Volt step down transformer..And it can operate on 50 or 60cycles..It costs £22.99, but there maybe cheaper versions out there....The HDR is made for US wall voltage 120 volt. From what I hear, the HDR will not work with voltage converters outside the US. The current is 60 cycles per second here in the US. I believe it is 50 cycles per second everywhere else in the world.
Please remember that Radio Shack were selling these devices a few years back, and they have recently gone bust!!...How do I build the Hyper Dimensional Resonator?
I've bought most of the parts at Radio Shack, and I don't know where to start at since I can't find any instructions? Anyone who has built an HDR themselves, please help!
Has anyone had problems with the electromagnet heating up too much?
Has anyone had problems with the electromagnet heating up too much?
Yes, it gets hot. I think 10 minutes is the max before you need to turn it off and let it cool down.
Einstein, you mentioned before that you were using rolled steel and that because it has carbon, it will heat up. Do you think a different material for the core of the electromagnet would help with the heating? I was thinking of making a core out of iron oxide and epoxy as a binder.
