Re: SIde Project

DO NOT connect the globe motor to a wall socket.

You can connect the motor directly to a 12 V battery. We always made one connector (that mates to the battery connector in the kit) with leads on the other end for testing motors. This is really easy to do using parts from the kit.

Re: SIde Project

while I am no electrical engineer, you could use a transformer, and a rectifyer to create a 12 power source...if you where after varying speed, you could use something like a variac transformer. I have alot of experiace making theese type of power suplies, as I have used them for several projects. If you are interested in schematics, and a parts list, just pm me.
