WTD: R/C Electric Helicopter (read to fly)

[.]

Hi,

I'm looking to buy an R/C helicopter similar to this

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3165435392&category=2563

http://www.shinegift.net/product/2003127165612_3.jpg



However, most of the R/C electric toys here use the US voltage system.

My country's voltage is 220-240 volts AC, 50 cycles per second.

Please provide details if you 1 for sale, with shipping to Singapore.

I can pay via Paypal, credit card, wire transfer.

Thanks.

Hey Dot.,

You're selling , and advertising here.

It would look better if you cut the lies and just advertised your products.

Right said Fred to the Dot.

no i'm not selling.

I asking if anyone has helicopters for sale that use Singapore voltage.

Those advertised on ebay are using US voltage.

Here in the US most travel stores (sell luggage, etc) sell voltage converters that will plug into the standard wall recepticle of the country you will be visiting and allow US standard electric devices to plug into them. They are inexpensive and might be the easiest solution to your problem.

Errrr, plugging a device that runs on 110 Volts in to a 240 Volt
socket, with your adaptor, is very likely to blow it up unless it is
also a transformer (Math lesson at bottom). e.g. Europe is not only a
different voltage, it is also a different frequency. I think the
question the original poster is fair enough, if a little intriguing.
(The poster quotes US ebay info, posts from Singapore and has a yahoo
account in the UK...)

If you look at the poster's headers, he has posted from Singapore:
=> Message-ID: <bs9fad$gmr$1@mawar.singnet.com.sg>
Whereas the company selling on ebay is actually based on Hong Kong.

In replying to the original post:

You may be better off looking at www.ebay.co.uk as the same companies
sell there, yet the items sold to the UK come with 240 Volt chargers,
so you will only need an adapter. Having said that, adapters are not
that expensive anyway so the US one may be worth buying......if the UK
ones weren't actually cheaper... and No, I have no relation to the
shop either.

Sad electronics lesson, 'cos I am bored and its 1:30 am.

Voltage (V) = Current (I) x Resistance (R)
Power = Current x Voltage

330 Watt US device = I Amps x 110 Volts
I = 3 Amps => R = 37 Ohms
but only R is constant anywhere in the world.

Plugged in to a Singapore socket

240 volts = I x 37 Ohms
I = 6.5 Amps
Singapore Power = 6.5 Amps x 240 Volts = 1,560 Watts

You are now drawing more than double the current, BUT producing almost
FIVE times the power. This is why they blow up......
