Lumia Wheel

[WookieBoy]

Hey Salty.

Can you make these any size?
I have an idea I'd quite like to try, but I think the wheels would need to be smaller...

What diameter are you looking for? Does it have to be a circle or would a small square work with your idea?

I need to check a few details and do some drawings yet, but either 6" or 50mm circles would be what i'm after.
The 50mm would be mounted on a baring and spun by gears on the edge with the beam just off centre of the rotating wheel... a bit like a gobo in a moving light.
The 6" wheel would be centre mounted on a motor spindel and spun with the beam about an inch in from the edge...

I think I have a variable speed solution for the 6" wheel that'll happily do 1 rev every 50 minutes to 6 rpm, and a 1/2 rpm solution for the 50mm...

But it's all still a little nebulous at the mo. I need to have a quick chat with a friend on the other side of town to make sure it's viable...

But thought I'd ask if you can do the wheels this size before I start pestering him with my hairbrained schemes!

I can do either of those solutions but the price will not be the same as the approx 3" wheel. PM me once you have your idea finalized and we can discuss a price for that solution.

Cool. Thanks Salty. Will do
