I have often enough eyed stuff that was "dumped" by someone else on our town's recycling center, but apparently so many people have that feeling that in order to suppress the urge of people going home with more than they came with, there are clear signs on every drop-off station that say something to the effect of "absolutely no scrounging". You are prohibited from taking anything *out* of the bins. IANAL, but I think that as soon as you have disposed of something, taking it back is technically "stealing" and that is why there is enforcement against people driving around and picking stuff out of trash - even if they are not making a mess. Craigslist's free section offers a way that an appliance goes from one person to the next without involvement of the City's recycler.

I can't help with the more electronical questions posed here, but a minor point - the original Leopard motor is not series wound. It's a compound wound. Not sure if that's pertinent to the discussion. Also, I've never heard of anyone with an electric motor with a manual transmission or direct drive that chooses to use the clutch. That's generally considered an awkward work-around for a problem that should be fixed. As for Cor's suggestion of using a microwave transformer core to make an inductor, my township's municipal services yard has an area where residents can drop off old appliances. There are almost always several discarded microwaves there that haven't been hauled away yet. Chris -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
