(...) It's just that according to this page: (URL) the new style lego motors' efficiency is only 54% at 9v (or even 47% for the 'newer' (?) style V9 motor)...which is not even close to 90%...Of course that test may be a little off, but would that (...) (22 years ago, 14-Feb-03, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Hi Gillis, I have been following this thread with great interest since you first posted. My recommendation? Buy two of the new style Lego motors. They are very, very, very efficient. They will be much cheaper than an industrial quality motor, (...) (22 years ago, 14-Feb-03, to lugnet.technic)

(...) These look good! I like the use of the crossover catch, Tobbe. For a drum I've been playing with a solid wheel I can't find on Peeron: it appears to have part number 32247 stamped on it. It's about 42mm (5 studs) in diameter. The rim is 2 (...) (22 years ago, 14-Feb-03, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I am leaning this way. I think even the little extra load of the clutch attached to the monorail switch might prevent the monorail train from operating it. My switch is adapted from Guido Heunen's ((URL) -- thanks Guido!) in that I have an 8t (...) (22 years ago, 14-Feb-03, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Pessimist, huh? ;) Additional lego motors would probably make it go faster, yes, but not much more efficient. Lego motor's efficiency is still rather low compared to the 'high tech' industrial motors, that go up to 90+% efficiency. I'd also (...) (22 years ago, 14-Feb-03, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I'm not sure I follow your English this time pixel? Sure there will be some friction on the pin that the 6641 slide on, but I don't think it will be greater then the centrifugal force. A rubber band that retracts the 6641's is also needed. I (...) (22 years ago, 14-Feb-03, to lugnet.technic)
