UNFY,

My son has a cheap HO train set that has a power controller/transformer that has connections for both AC and DC. 2 pairs of screw terminals. Says output 15VDC and 19VAC. The DC side is for the track, so it is variable. I guess that the ac side is static. Brand is RailPower 1300.   FYI

holy!

actually.... that's... a fairly decent idea.  wow.  they look to be 0-14v dc, and some appear to be up to 8 volt amps.

that's... uhhh scary.

wow!!!!

i don't think i've got a spare train controller handy (i do have some really old ones from my papa ... but ... i refuse to tinker with that).... but.... still, wow.  that actually might fit the bill nicely :P.

you wouldn't happen to know anything about electronics and keep multimeters handy so you could experiment would you ? :D

gonna attempt dc regulator thingie a few more times and then decide what's next.

as far as a cheap motor to spin a basket contraption....

looks fairly decent.  it's 120v AC which is a plus, can move 3.5kg, and has a low rpm rate (6, which with belts can be made lower if desired).

here regulator, you and me are about to have some words...


edit: oh, above motor is only $13.

unfy:
lower resistor values keeping approximately same ratio -- and booyah, 1.5v!

now to see how much power it moves.
