There are so many posts about building your own magnetic stirrer and it seems so easy but I am having a hard time! I'm not electronically minded and I'm trying to be with disastrous results. I need some advice/HELP!
So I have a 3W 25ohm rheostat which starts smoking after the device has been on for a while.
Fan is 12V DC, 0.32A, 3.84W
Adapter is Input 120V AC, 60 Hz, 13W, Output 12V DC, 600mA
I think it's the adapter or I need a bigger Watt Rheostat maybe, well I actually have no idea obviously.
