Hi,
I'm new into this forum. I'm planning to do a syringe pump controller to be used with a Labview software. As far as i know, precision flow rate movements higly depends on having the right stepper motor being used. Has anyone done anything similar on this? I'm looking for the right stepper motor specs to be used on this, and exactly how do i get a reading of the movement by the stepper motor to be read by the Labview via a data aquisition device.
Any ideas or suggestions are welcome.
Thanks.

Thread 'I need a concave mirror with a focal length length of 150 feet'

I need to cut down a 3 year old dead tree from top down so tree causes no damage with small pieces falling. I need a mirror with a focal length of 150 ft. 12" diameter to 36" diameter will work good but I can't think of any easy way to build it. Nothing like this for sale on Ebay. I have a 30" Fresnel lens that I use to burn stumps it works great. Tree service wants $2000.

Thread 'Questions about the Tesla turbine'

Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...
