First video finished. I am filming all the experiments in the 1950s curriculum on teaching electricity using the kit made by Philip Harris.π§ͺ

Have you got any details of the experiment?
13.08.2025 16:21 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Now do I need to wind a solenoid for it? Have you an experimental method?
13.08.2025 15:26 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0I seem to have been lucky here. Having tested the resistors and found they were 1.1 megaohm I tried connecting an HT supply across the input terminals. This is at around 160V.
13.08.2025 13:32 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I'm guessing that is the purpose as it is labelled e/m assembly.
However i don't know what else I need nor what voltages are involved apart from the heater.
There is one in the science museum that has a solenoid in the box.

EM34 magic eye valve on box. 6.3AC for the heater which works, what to put in the other sockets?
picked this up cheap on ebay, worth a punt as the valve alone is normally Β£50.
Heater works, now what do I put in the other terminals? Must have been set up for a school demo.

Why? Surely the moon is the perfect place for solar panels, though anything you put there might get hit by something.
