2013-04-23 Homemade Reed Relay Is Too Low Voltage

ReedRelay4677I made this reed relay in May, 2005 and posted it to my late great watsonseblog.  I think it hasn’t been posted here yet.  It closes at less than a tenth of a volt, which is way too low voltage.  This means I need many more turns of much finer wire.  But it was difficult to wind the 32 AWG wire, and I wouldn’t want to wind even finer wire.
