The proposed mini-challenge was to make a non-traditional (...) (15 years ago, 14-Jan-11, to lugnet.org.us.smart)

Well- I've decided that there is no longer a place for Lego in my life (sniff) and I need to clear up some space so I will be selling my Lego, so I'm posting here hoping for a local sale before e-baying.

Hi Brian, (...) I was surprised too. I suspect a relatively high internal resistance of the windings, rather than mechanical friction, as the source of losses. No, (shame on me!)
