Wow.... i so want to try that out. But i need to own a fridge first. But that site is definatly going in in my bookmarks.

Such TINEY resistors!!!

BioSniper · 23rd Mar 2006, 11:00

thats freaking awesome. Damn my lack of soldering skills and electronics knowledge! Curses!

Bindibadgi · 23rd Mar 2006, 11:16

Pure freaking genius

L2wis · 23rd Mar 2006, 12:16

Thats such an amazing idea! Kudos for originality! Get it marketed!!!1

DXR_13KE · 23rd Mar 2006, 12:45

yeah but that involves a spinning wheel to make a static image, and them some coding to make that static image look like its moving

i dont think it would work well on a fridge

/On Topic

That is awsome im going to do that

webbyman · 23rd Mar 2006, 17:02

simply amazing :O

i might try it, well i want too

yahooadam · 23rd Mar 2006, 21:59

this project looks amazing

those SM resistors, and magnets must be soooooo small

i wonder how much it cost him

Constructacon · 24th Mar 2006, 02:00

Looks great. I couldn't work out how the resistors were put in there. Are they just in parallel accross the 2 terminals or something?

I always thought that the resistor went in series on 1 of the legs but if that was the case it would have to be between the magnet and the leg which I can't see how he did that. Can anyone illuminate this problem :groan:

yahooadam · 24th Mar 2006, 08:52

what he did was make a loop on one of the legs

when it had all set, he cut the loop and put a resistor in

this means it is in series, took me a while to work out what he was doing, beacause it also looked to me like he had put them accross both terminals at first

Hindaine · 24th Mar 2006, 12:56

Wow, great project o.O

On another note, did anyone read those comments on his page? SO ANGRY! that dude goes fskin off

yahooadam · 24th Mar 2006, 17:59

socketmaster wrote the guide and i dont see him getting angry anywhere in the comments

I meant Q-Branch. he said nice things like: I know you ignorance come from inexperience. I attribute you arrogance to the fact you must be an american. Now pay attention.

yahooadam · 24th Mar 2006, 23:26

ahhh right

well it seems that q-branch did the original "electro-gaf"

IMO the magnetic fridge magnets have been made a lot better

its all a bit of a stupid argument really, seems to be turning into mini flame wars instead of actually answering peoples questions
