Patero, your work is amazing. Thank you for the lesson on making tires. I will follow your postings with great interest. This is card modeling graduate school :) Cheers! Bruce

Amazing! Even your extreme closeups look like the real thing! I am thrilled to see this project through to its finish. Thank you ;) Bruce

Now we're getting technical :) If the 18VAC that is listed on the power supply has no other terms listed with it (such as 18VAC Peak) then it is most likely an RMS value. That means that in reality the 60 Hz AC sine wave that is coming out of the terminal is peaking at 25.5 volts positive on...

You are right, dbogot. Most meters give voltage in RMS, which is .707 of the peak value. But if we use RMS as a standard we'll be fine because the voltage and current spend so little time above the RMS value. Indeed the very reason RMS was adopted was to provide a DC equivalent standard to apply...

Play Doh, don’t worry. These will work fine with your AC source. Here’s how to figure it: LEDs are diodes- they will rectify the current themselves, so no external rectifier is needed. According to the specifications provided by your seller, these LEDs have a forward current rating of 20 mA...

Just like being there... Great pics and great job! Thanks for the time and effort you are putting in to share this with us. I will watch with great interest. Cheers! Bruce
