    Can a DC Motor in a Chopper Circuit Generate AC for a Transformer?

    Thanks for the response. Was specifically trying to get like 300v to drive the voltage multiplier to drive the Marx generator. Although irritatingly he don't supply plans for his inverter. http://www.instructables.com/id/Build-a-simple-Marx-Generator/ All my simple circuits come from a...

    Can a DC Motor in a Chopper Circuit Generate AC for a Transformer?

    That is what I was thinking. I will just use a self switched relay. Will this also saturate the core if so what is the best solution.

    Sorry for double posting but how negligible was air resistance.

    Calculate yoyo friction energy loss

    I am not entirely sure but will the nylon friction not be negligible as the rope just wraps back onto the cylinder and word done is force * distance. No real work done by the friction of the rope. Maybe a loss in the stretching of the nylon and in air resistance.

    Tipping a Car: Factors Affecting Curve Negotiation

    simplistically it a fight between spinning out of a curve, tipping or staying on the road. The force of friction can hold a car in a turn at lower speeds but any faster and you need to bank a turn so that the centripetal force is directed perpendicular to the chassis of the car. This can reduce...

    What is quantum physics used for?

    you can use quantum mechanics to describe white dwarfs, this was used to solve a paradox that Einstein was trying to reconcile. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_dwarf#Radiation_and_cooling

    Can a DC Motor in a Chopper Circuit Generate AC for a Transformer?

    Will a generic dc motor interrupt the circuit fast enough to get a ac current on the other side of the transformer. I was assuming that a motor interrupt the flow of current.This is to feed a voltage multiplier.
