Orion Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 You guys know those plastic toys, Conex (pornounced Connects), well my brother made a farris wheel that spun with a Conex brad motor for a school project. I was wondering if i could use that same idea but build a drying wheel with some sort of holders off each side of the wheel for the lures. Any ideas?

Orion Posted February 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Ok, I'll try it out and let you know how it works i'll have to get the Conex kit to build it and I'll also need to see what RPM the motor runs. I'll post what i find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted February 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Haha, that's funny.... and sadly possibly true. But do you think it'll work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KcDano Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Yes, I think it will work. I have a rock tumbler that is powered by a small direct current toy motor with a transformer delivering 6 volts rated at .5 amps current. With the proper gearing it should work.

Orion Posted February 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Sweet, also if anyone can answer some of the questions on my other post "lots of questions..." that'd be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MicroSalm Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Fishermen are so ingenious we are willing to open our minds to new ideas. I hope the motor is strong enough to spin the wheel if not you have a good baseline to make adjustments. Even KcDano's rock tumbler was a great idea. No shortage of ideas in this website!
