Emags and Magnetic fields

[athomas]

* Fire the gun once with the microswitch, the flux from the solenoid hitting the HES keeps the gun firing

But assuming it all works, how do you STOP firing?

That's what happens now in some setups. Its a problem.

There is a special iron Nu-Metal sheeting that prevents the lines of flux from passing through it. It actually redirects the lines of flux within the metal rather than letting them past. It makes a great magnetic shield.

"their on to me " lol

Scott, email me or something. I have EMI (electromagnetic interferance) shielding paper onhand. It is a fibrous type of paper (like money) except the fibers are silver and conductive and one side of the paper is painted opaque black to block light too. It's like a continuous faraday cage. We use it wrap sensitive electronics susceptible to interferance... kind of like how chips are shipped in those anti-static grey plastic baggies.

It's about as thick 2 dollar bills - so it's pretty thin. I once wrapped my emags solenoid in it just to see what would happen.

So what happened?

Well, the emag was working like crap at the time and I thought it had something to do with the electromagnetics. It wasn't, so the change didn't do anything.
The problem was a loose plunger unscrewing from the sear arm.

I would need to know the application specifically. If its to trip a feed then its simply a matter of tapping off of the HES output in parallel. This should trip the feed before the marker actually fires.
