    Smoke spaghetti
    Hi Len, with these small vape pens, run time depends on how hard you run them. running on a 50/50 mix of water and glycerin and at 2.5v, you can probably get around 20 mins continuous running, but at 3v with twice the smoke, maybe 10-15 mins,- more draw on the battery as well). The way Graham and I set these up makes them really quick to re-fill - (about 20secs if they are easily accessed). I have made an auto filling system from a larger tank for a test, which worked really well.(see vid) Not sure if these particular pens are available (could be bought on Ali Exp for a few dollars now they don't sell any vape items,- new rules,) but any of the low wattage vape elements from vape stores can be adapted, you just need to make a holder and a tank. I've even used a whole vape tank with element (last vid)and modified it to fit into some plumbing fittings for large amounts of smoke but it needs a 3-5A adjustable voltage regulator as the smaller adjustable ones can get too hot. It's very cheap to make your own if you have the tools (most of us do) Let me know if you need any info about any of these. Fun playing with them, and bits are cheap on Ali Express. A few videos of experiments with smoke systems. The puffing one is using a Heng Long piston smoke pump designed for a tank, (cheap,-work ok but easy to burn the element if you run them dry) JB https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jyAOu_8udw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HW-GK7Y-7Y4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21ldu5Gw0tc&t=62s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBADvmZA87I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFZ7lLn0160 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9_HFKyCmZA

    Led bulb / lights
    Good morning to all the naval modelers of this forum. One of the recurring questions is this: is the resistor in series with the LED necessary or not? The other is this: is it better to connect the LEDs in series or in parallel? I forgot to complete the answer. I link to the fourth message of this topic and the following ones. EXPLANATION OF THE VIDEOS In the videos you can see a parallel circuit powered by a 9 volt battery. As you can see there is a resistor in series with each LED. In this way there will be the right voltage on the LED to turn it on. A variable resistor has also been added to the third LED to show that too high a resistance will cause too little current to flow and the LED will be too dim (not very bright) or will not light up. I avoided showing how too low a resistance burns the LED. WHEN TO APPLY THE RESISTANCE AND WHAT VALUE Powering a LED of this type with 9 volts means burning it. If I don't want to put a resistor I have to power it with the correct voltage which, in this case, is 2 volts. Two volts corresponds to the voltage drop that the LED causes in the circuit. When powering a circuit with a LED and a resistor with a 9 volt battery, I have to understand which resistor to put so that the right current passes through the circuit and so that there is a voltage of 2 volts at the ends of the LED. So if the voltage is 9 volts and there must be 2 volts on the LED, it is logical that I must have 7 volts at the ends of the resistor. By applying Ohm's law I find the value of the resistance, knowing what the operating current is (for example 18 mA). R = (Vcc-Vled)/I = (9-2)/0.018 = 7/0.018 = 389 Ohms. By measuring the voltage at the ends of the LED with a voltmeter we will in fact find a value of around 2 volts and at the ends of the resistor around 7 volts, with a logically closed circuit (look at the seventh attached image). With lower voltage batteries we will have to use resistors with lower ohmic values until we reach the point where no resistance is needed. In this case, powering at 2 volts we will not need any resistance. With higher voltage batteries we will have to use resistors with higher ohmic values. Attention, when increasing the voltage, the electrical power involved must be taken into consideration, as common 250 mW (like the ones in the photo) resistors may no longer be suitable. If we power an LED with a 6 volt battery, the resistor must be 222 Ohm. But if we put three LEDs in series we won't need any resistors, because the sum of the voltage drops (2 + 2 + 2) of each LED corresponds precisely to the 6 volts of power (see the fourth attached image). With a 6 volt battery and only two LEDs in series we will need a 111 Ohm resistor. BETTER SERIES OR PARALLEL? None is better than the other, there are pros and cons to evaluate. The advantage of parallel connection is that if one LED breaks, the others will continue to work normally. Instead, in series connection, if one LED breaks, all the others will turn off. The advantage of series connection is that less current flows (less battery consumption and less power absorbed) compared to parallel. In parallel connection, for each LED added to the circuit, the current of that branch will be added to the total current of the circuit. For example, ten LEDs in series will absorb 18 mA while ten LEDs in parallel will absorb 180 mA. Attention, so far we have talked about signaling LEDs for electronics. The situation changes for high-brightness LEDs. Look at the eighth photo, these LEDs have a voltage drop of 3 volts (therefore 3 volts of direct power supply) and an operating current of 300 mA. Look at the ninth photo, these LEDs have a voltage drop of 3 volts (therefore 3 volts of direct power supply) and an operating current of 700 mA. In this case ten LEDs of this type (700 mA) in parallel will absorb 7 Amperes. Furthermore, even with a single high brightness LED (3 volt; 300 mA) powered by a 9 volt battery, the power involved will be too high for the small resistors shown in the photo. Don't use these resistors because you will definitely burn them. Either use resistors with adequate powers (but you will waste a lot of energy dispersed in heat, due to the Joule effect) or you will have to power the LEDs without a resistor and therefore with exact power supplies (voltage regulators where or 3 volt battery packs). I hope this clears up any doubts but any questions will not be unwelcome. I also include the YouTube link for those who are unable to open the video file directly. https://studio.youtube.com/video/xLmrpiLY2hM/edit

    ANATOMY OF THE ESC FOR BRUSHED MOTORS. HOW THEY ARE MADE AND HOW THEY WORK IN THE DETAIL OF THEIR EL
    Hello everyone, ship modelers. Talking about basic electronics topics, applicable to RC naval models, this topic came to mind. I wanted to renew the invitation to post simple (or the simplest possible) ESC circuits for brushed motors (without Bec). So far there has only been the (very precious) contribution of John and RoyCV, whom I thank immensely. I left the question pending, waiting for simpler circuits. Ultimately if nothing else comes, I will take advantage of John's information and Roy's generosity. For my part, I have only found solutions with Arduino, but that's not what I'm looking for. Theoretical explanations of general operation, if not a complete circuit, will also be appreciated.

    ACE Transmitter and Receiver
    I thought I would post this as a new Subject for general information about "ACE Nautical Commander 7 Channel Marine Radio - Gold Series". I got mine as part of a package deal (what a deal) back in about 2012. It was basically in new condition, having never ran in a boat. Ideal design for two-motored boats with the exception of it being the older frequency. I love those dual throttle sticks, great for a two motored boat. I first used it in my 1/20 scale PT boat (PT-61) until I swapped it out for a new 2.4 radio. However at that time I also changed the transmitter antenna to a shorter one at about 12 inches long. (See in photo, it has a BNC connector on it.) I also swapped out the receiver antenna for one about 8 inches long. The transmitter is sitting in the original box, now I have to find the receiver. I also have digital files for the instructions in case anyone is interested in them. Lew Florida โ˜€๏ธ, USA

    3 brushed motors on a boat-how to control
    Hi Isaac. I like your approach. You're right horns and sirens are too much fun. I'm thinking of putting a foghorn on my model under construction or in a future one. For the moment, ready-made foghorn kits seem too expensive to me. If I have time in the future, I will try to assemble one myself. For LEDs and especially for their power supplies, if I can be of help, it will be a pleasure for me (even in pm). In the meantime, if you feel like it, you can read the following topics. You may find some useful information. If you have the patience to read message n.4. There are detailed explanations. I think it could be useful to you. https://model-boats.com/forum/135645 https://model-boats.com/forum/136310

    Basic electrical connections of a modern RC model receiver.
    I don't know why, but I had already inserted this part in the first message and instead I must have made a mistake in some "copy/paste" from the translator because it wasn't there. Instead there was a duplicate of the text already present. Okay, it's okay, I'll report it in this new message. From what I have written so far it is clear that the receiver, in addition to receiving the signals via radio and forwarding them to the various channels to control the ESC, servos and switches, also distributes the power supplies in parallel. In fact, by powering any row (group of three pins), all the others are powered. As already mentioned, if a pin of the central column (the positive one) goes to an electrical potential of +6 volts, for example, all the pins of the same column will have the same potential. Similarly, if one pin of the negative column is connected to zero potential, to the negative of the battery, all the others will be at the same potential. To power the receiver you can choose to connect the BEC to one of the channels, or (after having isolated the positive of the BEC) to connect a battery to the dedicated line (It would work on any line but a channel would be wasted unnecessarily). Knowing that the receiver also acts as a sorting power supply in parallel is important to understand that: the voltage range of the receiver must be compatible with the voltage range of the servos. In this standard configuration (in which it is sufficient to correctly insert the three-cable plugs into the correct slots) all the servo currents pass through the receiver. As a rule, they are low electric currents, certainly much lower than the electric current that powers the motor (the latter does not pass through the receiver at all), so you never worry about checking the powers involved or installing fuses. The circuits are in fact galvanically separated. However, in the case of simultaneous use of many servos, if a great effort is expected from these servos, it is better to check the values of the powers involved. To check the powers (since the voltage is the same) you can refer to the values of the electric current. The sum of the maximum currents absorbed by the individual servos must not exceed the maximum current value sustainable by the receiver. This value is usually indicated in the technical specifications of the product and is stamped on the receiver itself.

    ACE Nautical Commander 7-ch Gold radio
    Great news. I removed the Ace transmitter back and tested all the channels with separate servos. As before , the starboard throttle did not respond. I took a closer look and found the the solder joint to the pot has completely severed and once I connected it temporarily it worked. Yeh โ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ I will have it reconnected properly and now will have the original three throttle control. One for each motor. Isaac

    Right ColinH, exact words, I agree with you. There are no problems with low voltages and low currents. The important thing is not to improvise with circuits and devices that use mains voltage (230 volts).

    Proportions between ship size and propeller diameter
    Good morning to all modelers. Before including in the list of the first message, the data from the models of Ronald, Scratchbuilder and others (who kindly gave me permission to do so) I would like to analyze the first results. Anyone who has done statistics (at least one exam) knows very well that these data are too few for a serious scientific analysis, but we do it for pleasure. It is useless to repeat what I have already written. Actually no, maybe it's not useless but I don't want to rewrite the same things with the risk of boring people and making this message too heavy. Therefore anyone who wants can read message no. 11 of this topic. Furthermore: Italcantieri engineers certainly won't come to visit us to get information on how to build the propellers and how to size them. But a beginner (who doesn't have a kit or a reference model) who doesn't know which propeller to put in and who is making a model the same or similar to yours, could have good information. This is the meaning and possible practical usefulness of the document. Oh by the way! Because of this research, I'm looking at RC scale model kits, I was surprised, the costs are really high. The problem for the modeller, without a kit and without a reference project, who wants to build a model from scratch or restore one without a propeller or make RC a static model, is that the information on the propellers is a bit scattered. Now this information is found in three different topics ("Proportions between ship size and propeller diameter " - "manufacturers and sellers of nautical propellers for rc model building " and - "Do we want to talk about propellers?") but I hope the search with the word PROPELLER produces its results. But now we come to the data collected so far. So far, the section with the most data is the one relating to tugboats and work boats. It's normal for this to be the case, in fact I've noticed that among RC modelers it's the most popular category (I really like it too). I didn't think the range was so limited (shots not scattered, excellent), yet even in this section there are many variables and at least two subsections should be created between the tugs:the port ones (stockier) and the oceanic ones (slender). We are between 1:16.5 and 1:22. From the port to the ocean. The modeler who wants to delve deeper, after reading this ratio, can have a general idea, but then can go and see ColinH's, or Wolle's, etc. model in detail. etc., and discover more details (by analyzing those variables in concrete terms). Even including fishing, rescue, fire, police and pleasure vessels the range is still very narrow with more central data. 1:19 to 1:26. From 1:16.5 to 1:26. By reading the information carefully, anyone with a little attention already understands that even in the modeling field, a tug or a fishing boat has a relatively low ratio. The tugboat with a nice diameter available, short wheelbase is like a car that climbs uphill. Capable of notable efforts (as ColinH testified with his amazing anecdote) but incapable of useless high speeds. Modern warships are different. The ratio rises and reaches (for now) a range between 1:30 and 1:34, but I am convinced that it could rise much further. We'll see with the next data. I remember that there could be a lot of difference between real ships and models in this length/propeller ratio and this will be interesting to verify. I'm very curious about battleships from the Second World War; I would be very curious to compare the data of the real ones collected so far with scale models. However, it is very difficult to find RC sailing scale battleships. Yet I remember seeing them in this forum too. Some fields are still empty or too sparse.

    Steering by compass course
    As Roycv says, steering a compass course may be difficult to allow for drift and tides - GPS will always be accurate, and on the larger yachts we now do not use paper charts but GPS giving us a detailed chart on a screen in front of us as the helm. I am sure that using some of the GPS and radio units as used on drones, you may get a longer range and view of where you are than with our standard RC units? If outside even this range you are in uncharted territory.๐Ÿค”

    Radio signal ???
    Hi Colin. Perhaps they will take advantage of the hyperlan bands now integrated into all wi-fi modems/routers. Good to know. I am amazed by the very long distance that the signal has traveled and remained effective, around 256 metres, which is not a very short distance. I had heard many cases of gates not working because they were close to more powerful transmissions which "obscured" the reception by saturating the antenna, but never this. Dear Hermank, I completely agree with you. Colin has good neighbors but they are also lucky to have Colin. Think of a bad or spiteful person in his place, he would have enjoyed driving the neighbors crazy by opening and closing the gate without saying anything. I'm treating you well and I agree with you because your son-in-law is from Sorrento, hahahaha. Joke.

    XT60 CONNECTORS
    Although this thread is a bit old, well, I may have a small contribution to it. Long time ago, I came to the same conclusion tan most mates, and I settled on XT-60. I use them whenever supply voltage is between 6 and 24 V, including my radio gear (Iโ€™m also a ham radio operator and tinkerer) However, soldering them was not easy at first. After spoiling some of them, I came to the same procedure recommended by jonhnf and others: 1.- Always solder connectors mated. I've found pretty convenient to hold them in a mini vise. 2.- I always use 60Pb/40Sn solder, with 3-3.5% core rosin flux. I do a lot of electronics tinkering, including SMD hand soldering, and I never use Pb-free solder. 3.- I first tin the wire, and check that the tinned end fits in the pocket. 4.-Then I tin the pocket. When solder is melted, I quickly insert the tinned end of the wire while keeping the soldering iron in in good contact with wire and pocket. If you feel that there is not enough solder, add more. 5.- Apply some traction to the wire when the joint is cool. Sometimes you get a โ€œdry jointโ€ if not enough heat was applied. 6.- Repeat the same procedure with the other wire. A closing note: Currently, I settled on subtype XT60-H. No need to deal with heath-shrink tube, resulting in a neater job! Good luck!

    Thanks RodC for looking. I searched there too but there are a lot of conflicting names for this unit. Best I can guess is a "DasMikro Micro V2" and possibly an "Orlandoo". I added the photo of it here. It is the one with 4 "servo" style connector pins and no USB connection. I was hoping to find someone who has the unit and figured it out. Lew Florida, USA

    Automatic switching from 6 volts to 12 volts. When needed, if needed.
    Hi everyone. As I had mentioned, I was not able to complete not only the tests for the "low battery warning and automatic replacement of the reserve battery" circuit but I did not even carry out the tests to make the transition from switching from 6 to 12 volts less sudden on this circuit we are dealing with. Unfortunately, while working on the table in the living room, I had to clear the table before my wife did it independently but much more drastically. Unfortunately I don't know when I will be able to do these tests again. In the meantime, I wanted to ask you for a technical opinion. Could a coil in series (logically not in parallel) on the 12 volt circuit produce the effect I want? I was thinking, trying to remember the laws of physics, in particular what the great Russian physicist Lenz passed down to us. The coil should oppose the variations in magnetic flux, in the moment of passage of the current in the first moments it should create an induced current that opposes it. I was wondering whether this scientific evidence can actually produce the desired effects and, in this specific case, which type of inductance to use. For example by how many milliHenry?

    Of course Doug concave is even better, sorry if I didn't notice. The important thing is that it is not convex because it slips away. I only flattened it because all I needed was a file, to make the hollow in the grub screw I would have had to have a column drill. I didn't have the patience to wait and have a friend do it for me. Of course I should have done like you, it's better.
