    Sensor to Detect Shaft Rotation Direction Change Needed

    I need a sensor to detect a change of direction in a rotating shaft. When the sensor detects the sudden change in direction it would trigger action of an electromagnet. The sensor would monitor either the shaft or a disk attached. A 12 volt dc power source would be used in the circuity.

    12 Volt DC Motor Generator Problem

    By use of magnetic gearing I am experimenting with a way to rotate the shaft in one direction and also, magnetic gearing ratios to have a rpm of 200 to 300. It would not be practical to have a higher rpm. The use of magnetic gears would keep the overall frictional forces low as possible. With...

    12 Volt DC Motor Generator Problem

    In my experimental project I require a low rpm dc generator to charge a bank of 12 volt storage batteries. A rotating shaft alternates in direction with a full rotation of 180 degrees, and, the shaft speed is low. It is a high torque power device and with magnetic gearing, the rotational...
