Re: Why only 6V?

[Guest guest]

the device benefits from the 6 volts due to having the connectors easily on the

battery, rather than buying a holder for the smaller ones. Most people will not

build anything on their own, and it's illegal to sell these for the purposes we

are using them. So we need to have at least one model ANYONE no matter how

non-mechanical a person, can build, WILL build.

Voltage was tried up to 36 volts. Due to burns, it had to be toned down with

resistors. The resulting measured output, tolerable voltage turned out to be

around 6 volts, starting with 36 volts input. I got 3 3rd degree burns from 18

volts used without a resistor. Anyone is free to try it, and please post your

results.
