Exactly. He should 3d print a cnc machine that can hold a sharpie and draw on paper instead.

Yes, there is a reaction force to the Lorentz force that moves charged particles so the flywheel slows down. That's how regenerative braking works, too.

@xureality The company was willing to license the tech but simply nobody cares. Microsoft invested a lot in the FFB joystick market but at one point even they sorta stopped supporting it through DirectInput. Before MSFS2020 dropped, flight sims were somewhat a niche and trying to sell a plastic joystick with motors that would last as much as a Sidewinder FFB for an affordable price was a losing proposition. And in the world of high end simmers many of the people buying the high dollar sticks are flying spaceships in ED or modern airliners/jets with fly by wire controls.

@freshPrinceOfBelfairs You do realize that people with ill intent sometimes kill indiscriminately, right?

@xureality But aren't you supposed to source your own motor? Or are full kits available?

@xureality If we're going prosumer there's a company that makes 1200 dollar FFB stick bases. I've seen maybe two posters on DCS forums claim they have one. You need to make a 100-150 dollar product and mass market appeal which means selling to absolute dumbasses, not prosumers. Now it's a whole different ball game.

The rpm value will depend entirely on the motor used and the load. With a transformer you could run a motor that draws more current at a low voltage. You could have a small motor that draws very little current at a high voltage. If you get a motor spinning at low RPM you could connect a geared transmition with a ratio that gives you higher RPM. That's why you see wattage ratings for motors, you can use your amperage and voltage information.
