All finishers Prize

Did anybody receive the all finisher's prize for the Experimenting with Inductors challenge?

I just remembered that I didn't receive the prize.

Any news on the closeout of the Inductor contest?

Just checking in on the status of the inductor project.

See ya',

How to read blogs from 'UnOfficial' challengers..?

Experimenting with Inductors completed successfully, along with Real-project findings (some of them were, quite compelling), and maybe more projects have been submitted in this challenge, but can't find for now,..Any guesses!!

Why I Think You Should Apply for the 'Experimenting with Inductors' Competition

Imagine the world with inductors. Kind of a silly statement, don't you think?

Inductors are one of those basic energy storage devices that enable the design of so many different kinds of circuits. Filters, power supplies, power factor correction, the list goes on. But how many of you REALLY understand how inductors work?

Consider a coil of wire. So, what more do you need to know, right? When I wrote the inductors quiz, I spent some time researching inductors. I was must impressed by the theoretical part of them at first -- Ampere's Law, Lenz's Law, Faraday's Law, Maxwell's Equations. But theory is one thing, practical application quite another.

All these Laws were derived through experiments--I'm sure Faraday had a more primitive "lab" than most of the maker/hobbyists on element14 today. But look at what he accomplished!

The 'Experimenting with Inductors' competition was created in the spirit of these early experimenters, scientists, natural historians, tinkerers--innovators to use the parlance of the 21st Century.

So, submit an application. Try it, you'll like it!
