Yeah, I'd love to see this thing in action. I can't find videos of it anywhere.

Just uploaded a new movie of an NM70 hoisting a 3 ounce lead fishing weight to: http://www.migamotors.com/Downloads.html Sorry for the low resolution... Cheers, Mark

These things definitely perform as advertised. And cheap, too! I got three of them for $9.95 each. Really hard to believe that something this small has this much pull! I've used little electromagnetic servos in some projects and they barely pull their own weight. I'm no high tech engineer. I was just wiring up a little circuit to pop open a latch on a wooden box. On the test run this thing actually tore itself loose from where I'd mounted it! (My fault, not the actuator's!) Anyway, as far as bang for the buck you can't beat these things. Oh yeah, the video on YouTube where this thing picks up bowling ball is a "Must See".
