Re: Pager Application
I think it'd be pretty easy to have the buzzer or vibrator control a transistor. That transistor would be able to pull the remote start button either high or low....

Re: air muscles
I've seen some new pistons that use SMA wires, but it puts a rigid surface to them. They're just like pneumatic cylinders but they're operated solely by applying the current. It's pretty nice if you don't want to worry about the mountain of the SMA wires.<p>The only problem I have with air muscles i...

Re: Older cpu fans with the round thing on the wire
They'll draw what they can handle/need. As long as the voltage is correct. Check for "12V" somewhere on the fan's label. If it says "5V" it'll be toast, unless you rig up a voltage drop.<p>The round thing is called a "choke" it's a ferride core that, when the wire is wr...
