Thanks, i will try that again today with both ac and dc settings.
Thank You, and everyone very much for your help! i do appreciate it! i should be able to sort my self out now... and if i can't i will resort to a electrical forum.
Thanks.
Thomas.
Thanks! I tried that today, you were right, it seems to range between 18 to 12 volts, so that was the problem.
I don't have a bulb at the moment which i can do this with. I think the problem like you pointed out is the voltage. It seems like i will either have to add a voltage regulator, or a...
i found this:
"A neat analogy to help understand these terms is a system of plumbing pipes. The voltage (volts) is equivalent to the water pressure, the current (amps) is equivalent to the flow rate, and the resistance (Ohms) is like the pipe size."
does this mean if my generator could put out...
Thanks, but i burnt them both out, i don't really care what their problem was anymore, i just want to work out if a 12v 100W (8.33333 amp) H3 bulb will work on my 12v system on my motorbike, straight from the lighting coil, no battery.
I will get my multi meter out and Analise the bike's...
the current is 12v i don't know anything else, i guess the watt changes depending on engine RPM, the bulb was so post to be 12v 100W, when i convert 12v 100W to amp, it says 8.333333 amp, so that means that fuse would not help at all even if the bulb was really 12v 100 watt? so does that mean i...
Ok thanks for your answers guys! so if my understanding is right, i can not determine if the bulb is 100 watt or not? because the wattage of the bulb can be changed drastically depending on filament windings, length, and thickness.
The post i was following to build this motorbike light project...
Hello, new to the forum, just a average guy, not too much more informed on physics then the average person, so this will be a pretty simple question, anyway, to my question:
with halogen bulbs, does higher wattage always mean thicker filament? Because i am trying to work out if tricky Chinese...
