powdertang05 Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 ive got a question i want to do the tunze like setup for a frag tank but i was wondering if i could put them on a wave maker or on a controller that give 30% of power to 100% power back and forth like the tunze. has anyone put the mjmods on them without breaking or making the pump crap out?

impur Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 What kind of controller you talking about? Quote
siskiou Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 I read somewhere on RC that the Seio controller supposedly works, but the person who tried it only did so for an hour for fear of ruining the controller. Quote
powdertang05 Posted January 13, 2007 Author Posted January 13, 2007 well im really good with electronics so ill built a board to make the mjmod have power constantly so no clicking and just give the mj power percentages like 30 to 100 then back i think it would be better on the mjmod myself but i wanted to know if i could have them on a wavemaker liek on and off like every 5 seconds but not too sure about the clicking thing?

andy Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 iirc MJ's are single-phase AC motors so you can't just drop the voltage, you have to vary the phase of the AC. Not impossible (the Seio controllers do it) but not an afternoon's electronics project either... Quote
andy Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 Absolutely. That's like the Holy Grail of DIY :-) Quote
