    Gigantic stepper motors!

    A user on a Swedish electronics forum that I frequent posted these images of a stepper motor (he's got two of them).

    They were supposedly used by the military (who else?) to move radar discs used for satellite tracking, or something like that.

    The guy who owns them wrote they were 2.3 V / 18 A per winding, but I don't know where he got that from. Perhaps he was too much in a hurry when writing?

    As far as I can see, the plate says 2.23 V, 38 A
