Thanks for the update! It's fine if it's too late and you are not able send out the prize now. I can understand. Just wanted to bring it to your notice.

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.

Hi there! Randy and I are meeting today to discuss this and check our records regarding all prizes for the Experimenting with Inductors challenge. Sorry for the confusion!

Hello Daniel,

I hope you're doing well. I just wanted to know if there is any update on the same?

Thanks and regards

Hello Daniel,

I have replied to your direct message. I'm not sure if you're getting my replies. Please let me know once it has been shipped and also please send me the the tracking number. I need it to get it cleared from Indian customs.

Thanks!

Hi there! I will message you directly about this. In my UPS shipment history from our records I can see shipments that I believe are the prizes for this challenge, but UPS doesn't keep online information that far back, so I can't check whether or not a specific shipment ever arrived. Please watch for a community message from me!

...eagerly waiting.

Any news on the closeout of the Inductor contest?

Sean_Miller — Mon, 09 Mar 2020 10:57:51 GMT

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!!

Thanks Randall, already applied and proposed experiments with Kemet inductors, but also other experiments where I would use inductors as sensors.

Miguel,

The program is sponsored by Kemet, so you would have to use Kemet inductors. I would like you to use at least one inductor from the kit. The kit is pretty big. If you want to use any other inductors, you would probably have to get them. Most of them cost as $1US more or less.

I keep looking back at this hoping I see something exciting someone else is working on since I so completely draw a blank on something fun with inductors

To me that sounds like a great idea. Possibly when you choose another conductor, you can explain why one was more appropriate for your project versus another in the Kismet kit. This would help other learn as well. Anyway that was my two cents worth.

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!

Randall is it ok to focus on different kind of inductors, than the ones provided by kemet? I have some ideas on stuff I would like to explore with different type of inductors.

Looks like another great competition with very nice prizes. I had fun with the Experimenting with Polymer Capacitors: About the Competition competition. I'd encourage everyone to apply.

This is a wonderful opportunity, and well suited to students and new element14 members. Looking forward to lots of great projects!

Very true. Inductors, capacitors and resistors are the basic elements found in any electronic circuit.
Already submitted my application!
