Hey Mr. Stahl, thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. you have provided me with some great info. The picture is getting clearer. <br />Now lets see if I got it. <br />The main generator provides the field for all TMs <br />each grid handles 2 TMs (SDs) output <br />extended range cuts down the resistance of the grid (load) <br /> <br />This is one of those things where each answer brings up more questions. I hope you can put up with me[:D] <br /> <br />Say your going down hill in DB notch 8 gaining speed, about what speed do you hit the 700 limit, both in normal and extended range? my guess would be 25MPH normal & 12MPH extended. <br /> <br />If you have a grid failure on one set of TMs, do the other 2 sets kick out or will you continue to have 2/3 dynamics operating. <br /> <br />how are they paired up ? 112 233 , 123 123 , <br /> <br />What do the actual resistors physicaly look like? Is the heat sync itself actually the resistance element, or is it resistors with seperate heat syncs.? If so what kind of resistors and how big are they. <br /> <br />Also is the cooling fan speed fixed, or does it vary with the amount of heat to disipate? <br /> <br />One more thing. How many "grids" are there? so far it seems at least 6 seperate ones are needed. <br /> <br />Thanks
