  Re: The pole reverser - what's it do?
 
(...) This leads me to a question. PF uses 4 wires instead of 2, and it is my understanding that the pole reverser only switches two of these and the other 2 remain powered. Could the LEDs then be made to stay on with the Pole Reverser in the middle (...) (16 years ago, 23-Feb-09, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: The pole reverser - what's it do?
 
(...) The last sentence is especially misleading. In 8293 the LEDs are connected directly on the battery pack. So they continue to function regardless of the state of the pole reverser. But of course if the LEDs are connected to the pole reverser (...) (16 years ago, 22-Feb-09, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: The pole reverser - what's it do?
 
(...) Ah, now I see it, it's not that useless after all. Very well, I'll keep this is mind. (16 years ago, 19-Feb-09, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: The pole reverser - what's it do?
 
(...) The pole reverser has multiple uses. At it's simplest, it serves as a remote on/off switch so you don't need to be able to reach the battery box. As others have already mentioned, it also changes the polarity of the output voltage based on (...) (16 years ago, 19-Feb-09, to lugnet.technic, FTX)
 
  Re: The pole reverser - what's it do?
 
(...) Interesting, so it *does* switch the winding/direction... but the only use I can make up is to keep lights on while motors stand still. Thanks, really eased my mind now that I don't have to ponder about what it does. :-) (16 years ago, 18-Feb-09, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: The pole reverser - what's it do?
 
(...) It reversed the direction of electricity flow. For example, it makes a motor run backwards when flipped. (16 years ago, 18-Feb-09, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

  The pole reverser - what's it do?
 
(URL) Looking through the Technic sets' instructions I've bumped into this part and never figured out what does it really do... so I thought to ask here.
