Re: Converting 12v to 24v

I looked at a few definitions of "solenoid" just now, and the common feature was ..., or moved a coil between permanent magnets.
Sounds like a speaker to me. But speakers would be prohibited under the no noise maker rule?

Read 2012 rule 48. If clutch is operated by a magnetic coil, you should be arguing that it is a solenoid otherwise you cannot use it unless it is powered by an allowed servo or motor.

While I generally do like stretching definitions, what GDC it trying to do is fairly clear. They trying to allow small magnetic actuators and at the same time keep the rules short.
