do not think that just because we know how it works that we have figured it all out!!

there is much more to it than what we have seen so far

ist

Congratulations IS !!
Can you please explain "how it works".

Let me put this to any of you as plainly as can be:
There are different stages to this thread:
There are quiet times, individual times, group times, design banter, creation times and times of relevancy. When the group comes together in it's largest coalition that is when the noise appears. It's like we have to be on guard when we come to an agreement. Someone pops up and flicks matches into the mix. At this point in time we all have our ideas and know what is necessary to keep this going. That is enough said. This has no completion and has no stopping point to satisfy all of this. Any one individual should have their place of completion or satisfaction. The outcome of what this device brings has been reiterated many times. We will keep moving on. If you are not in the mix stay out of the bowl. This thread has seen maximum activity in the last 2 weeks and we are moving in a very positive direction for such a diverse group. And that is good. This has all come about by those who have built and contributed their expertise. And that is an even better thing. Let's not cowtow to any noise or invite any negativity into our path.
Let's keep our focus.

@ grumpy can you explain the hall effect for the people as you are verry knowalegeable

when I first read that, I was going to reply with:

"Hall Effect? and I thought it was massless potential"

The Hall Effect, is the variation in voltage potential across a conductor when moving through a perpendicualr magnetic field, or to quote Wilkipedia:

"The Hall effect refers to the potential difference (Hall voltage) on the opposite sides of an electrical conductor through which an electric current is flowing, created by a magnetic field applied perpendicular to the current. Edwin Hall discovered this effect in 1879."

Back to memory again, a magnetic field causes electrons to curve to the side and if the field is strong enough (like in an electron trap) the electrons get stuck in the field and go round and round (Marinov's MAGVID uses this effect to great advantage.)  So, the magnetic field is casuing the electrons to move to the side and this creates the difference in potential that Hall discovered.

What do you really have?  What is the power (current x voltage) in verses the power out?  Making a light get brighter or dimmer is not quantitative unless you are lighting a 110v or 220v bulb off a 9v battery.
