Re: Converting 12v to 24v

Look around the web and you find many definitions of solenoids. One thing that many have in common is that it's coil of wire than when energized creates a magnetic field that causes a linear motion. So yeah I'd say a magnetic clutch would fall under the solenoid rules and 10w at 12v is not going to create a enough force to transmit very much torque.

For our kicker for Breakaway we created a created a transmission based on the AM super shifter. Basically we built a custom case and left out the high idler gear. In the low gear position it transmits power and shift it into the "high" gear and it freewheels. Because it was under a lot of torque we had to shift it with a lever arm to generate enough force.
