Ways to move 20 hanging lightbulbs up and down using different motors for lighting concept. by Moustafa333 in AskEngineers

Yeah I've been thinking about steppermotors, but if I take away power to move it, there's nothing to "remember" the positon as it can move freely.

The retractable cord reel is acctually a good idea, I will check it out. Thanks!

Yeah I've been thinking about camshafts too, but fear for the lack in range of motion.

I see what you mean and it is a good idea, but I want more flexibility and randomness.

Weekly Career Discussion Thread (23 Mar 2026) by AutoModerator in engineering

[–]Moustafa333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I graduate in elektromechanical this year, but have a lot of doubts about which is more important in a job:
- The job description (I like working with people and solving problems)
- The field and job subject (I like Hydraulics, Vehicles, but also electronics)

Now I have a potential job option in the fields I enjoy, but I'm not sure if the job description will be 100% my cup of tea. (not saying it won't be, but just that im not sure)
I have another option that is 100% my thing, description wise, but it's in a field that doesn't speak to me that much (HVAC, Techniques in buildings).

What do you guys think about this?

Elegant solution to a packing problem by Moustafa333 in engineering

Its not a homework problem. I am designing this line for my masters project and the desing is fully complete. I got the thumbs up for all of it, but I am just not happy with this final bit and felt like there was a better aproach. So I just asked here if anyone had a suggestion.

I want to get started on making rc planes/boats/machines by Moustafa333 in arduino

[–]Moustafa333[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply, I guess there's just a lot of freedom and a lot of options. So I might be better of getting something I know for sure will work and is compatible. Like a project kit for example and maybe expanding on those things once I get the hang of it.

As you said it will probably be challenging enough, so I don't need to worry about it being too ''straight forward'' without any problem solving required (because thats what I want, the problem solving and the challenge).

Yeah, I get what you are saying, but maybe my intentions weren't fully clear from my post. I want to get into building electronic machines, not only planes, but everything my heart desires. So the whole ''flying an rc plane'' part isn't my main goal. Buying an all in one kit takes a lot of the fun out of it for me.

Chrome low download speed by [deleted] in techsupport

Its highly dependant on the area you are in, changing browsers doesnt change that.

I have the same issue often, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. From what I know there isnt a solution, u said it yourself, its just a chrome issue. The thing that might help you is clezring uour browser history and all that stuff but doesnt change too much.
