£35,000 is a rather modest amount to get production running. If he needs plastic bits, the cost of dies are a tad steep. Also getting PCBs assembled. I don't think he's looking at hand soldering a bunch of boards, with sm parts, on them. As for a "one-off", home made project, this is now very doable. With the abundance of low cost rare earth magnets, expect to see a lot of levitating gadgets soon. If done right, you only need the magnets placed and held, so they make a properly shaped field. No power is required. I'm currently running some experiments with Royer oscillators. These seem to work quite well for inductive power transfer. Much better than the H-bridge, I used on my old "Propeller Santa II", made about 10 years ago. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
