electromagnet time release
Re: electromagnet time release
Re: electromagnet time release
i decided to get two 12v 2" magnets that will hold 140lbs each.with the usb output, the 6v magnets were not quite as strong at they should be. the two battery banks i have, have a 12v output, so they will run the 12v magnets how they were intended. just need to get a cap of some kind to hold the strike plate and start testing them out.

Re: electromagnet time release
currently testing the time that it will stay locked and temperature it will get to. im using 2" threaded black plastic pipe end caps for the housings. they have air around the magnet so it should stay somewhat cool to the touch. to keep the strike plate centered on the magnet, i countersunk the allen bolt head just enough that the head sticks out of the strike plate to engage the center hole of the magnet so there is no way for it to move side to side more than about 2mm.

Re: electromagnet time release
Well done T. I think the Oreck vacuums guy does a similar test, standing under his vacuum cleaner.

Re: electromagnet time release
at 4 out of 5 green lights on the battery, it took just over 3 hours to release, and the temperature was not bad at all! im SO excited to try this out when my sleepsack gets here!

Awesome. Glad you figured out what you needed.

Re: electromagnet time release
just got done testing the electromagnet setup with a fully charged battery.......... 5 hours and 35 minutes!!!!! i think about 2/3rd charged will be good enough!

Re: electromagnet time release
What is the chemistry of the batteries?

Re: electromagnet time release
they are lithium ion, its 3 18650 cells in the pack. i just tried the magnet in a spread eagle and was able to pull it apart, so i would need a much stronger magnet for a spread eagle. but the thing with that is, if i could engage the magnet with the strike plate attached to my wrist, i could always easily pull on the wire and reach or disconnect the battery. but for my sleepsack idea, this strength will be perfect. there is no way i will be able to put that much force on the magnet while bound to the bed in the sleepsack.

Re: electromagnet time release
To preserve the life of the batteries, you might want to use a low voltage detection shut off. Lipo batteries should not be discharged beyond 50%, and should be stored at 50% charge, if possible.

Re: electromagnet time release
when i plug in the charger after the weight dropped, it showed 3 green lights out of 5, so i dont think its completely discharging as it is. but for a 3000mah pack, it last a LOT longer than the mag lock said theirs does with a 3000mah!Shannon SteelSlave wrote:To preserve the life of the batteries, you might want to use a low voltage detection shut off.

Re: electromagnet time release
Because your hands are still free, you can always tie your ankles and legs with a rope on the outside of the sleeping bag. Only so that the sleeping bag is rolled up around your legs there. Only at the top of your legs do you have to tie it a little tighter so that the rope doesn't slide down, or you can tie that end to the top of your bed.TNTBound wrote:... the foot area is bigger than i would like, ...
Have fun with it.
Re: electromagnet time release
here is the setup for tonight.
magnets on my left side, so when they release, i can roll onto my right side and be able to grab the zipper string and free myself. im expecting to be stuck anywhere from 3 to 4.5 hours. im hoping i can fall asleep in it, given i wont have any chance of escape till the magnets release me.

Too bad you don't live here. It would almost be bed time. And you could help me paint.
