missile_man Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Iv got a major problem here, check it out: http://img166.imageshack.us/my.php?image=a...rproblemmb0.jpg oh and also the wires were connected the right way which is something else to rule out. the light on one of the adapters was on and then went off when it stopped spinning. Both adapters are DEFINATELY nackered. can anyone give me a solution to this problem?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missile_man Posted September 21, 2006 Author Share Posted September 21, 2006 It requires more current? Its specifications are 0.15 A, the adapter supplied up to 0.5 A. Couldnt it be that its being fed too much currnet? Wouldnt that be like touching the +/- wires of the adapter together till it burns out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the same problem, i applied to little amperage to a battery, and the whole adapter burst into flames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, that could not happen, it would be like pouring more water into a glass that's already full. I also had a problem where my adapter burst into flames when I made a crappy ball mill and I had to much load on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get a really good adapter at radioshack that can handle up to 3 amps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missile_man Posted September 22, 2006 Author Share Posted September 22, 2006 I guess something like a car/motorbike battery charger would work? They supply 12V and high amps i would think.Thanks for the reply guys, this has really put my mind to rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
