Thought this would be an ideal place to post.

Im making out of pure boredom a really sophisticated coin sorter involving a theme park theme. Its gonna be made all out of house hold materials(cans, paper clips, etc.) except for one thing, a lift.

Im looking for a small motor that all it will need to to is crank a belt and be run off maybe 1 or two AA or AAA batteries. I maean all its carrying is one coin at a time!


If anyone wants to recommend something that be great!

[thunderpaintballer]

well something along the lines of an xmod motor would work also halo motors too

[chinesefood]

wow i totally forgot about hopper motors, yes that would work perfect, thanks for the tip!

[chinesefood]

though how would i get the hopper motor to spin slowly without using a ciruit board?

[Strawberryblonde.]

Potentiometer?

Or gear reduction.

[chinesefood]

i have no clue what those are or mean. I just need something to spin slowly with only a couple batteries, to carry a coin up 3 ft lol.

[chinesefood]

err, maybe just like 1 ft

[SwarmJT]

you can get a current controller.. kind of like model trains use..

[maxman1180]

how about tamia motor?

[motorpsycho]

making a gear reducer will require some engineering.... a potentiometer requires some electrical experience... maybe the motor that makes a small desk fan oscillate.... seems to spin slow enough with more than enough torque
