Just had a project land on my desk (well, on the pile of existing projects on my desk) that looks like it's going to need a solenoid or two with a throw of approx. 1/2". Is it possible that my iPhone is now tracking my movements AND reading my thoughts?<br>
Keep up the amazing work!</p>

One of the other members asked this but I was wondering the same. Is there going to be a slot in the solenoid? Will it kill the temper if a channel is cut into it with a grinder or mini die tool like a dremel?</p>

Knowing that the force is directly related to the supply voltage is useful, but it would be interesting to know exactly what forces you were measuring with that test rig.</p>
