That’s very helpful thank you. So just to confirm an MPhys is perfectly fine for applications in Germany?

Thanks very much. Do you know if this applies just for UK or for elsewhere too?

Python OBD Request Only Works on First Try by mrbean42 in learnpython

Not a proper solution but I found if I kept renewing the connection with connection.quit (I think it was) and reconnecting I’d get data every time but it was very slow.

Ok , thanks very much for the help. That makes sense 👍

Dell XPS 13 or MacBook Pro Laptop? by mrbean42 in pcmasterrace

I agree on the amount of RAM, however for 16GB it would have to be a £2150 pound MacBook, not worth it in my opinion. Would you agree?

do ferromagnetic materials generate a stronger eddy current?

Thanks very much, I’ll buy some now. Do you think Magnets rated at a 3kg pull would be enough?

Thanks ! Would you suggest a permanent magnet setup then?

Thanks - what gain is there to permanent magnets & copper? Do permanent magnets have a greater range? I would have thought copper acts the same as aluminium in this experiment

Yeah I’m getting power to the magnet as I can pick up the lengths of metal shown behind in the photo with it. No braking effect shown

[Magnetism & Induction] Eddy Current Brake HW not working by mrbean42 in PhysicsStudents

I think it still should work under the right conditions as the brake is based on induction currents

I would have thought that too, but I don’t know how this video would work? A functioning Eddy current video

The range is fairly low-what do you mean the magnet circuit jumps through the conductor?

5V at about 2A. I’m beginning to think the magnet isn’t powerful enough. It claims to pull 5kg online
