    Default Anyone need lumia motors?

    I just picked up some of these, figured someone else here might be interested in some...

    they are 2rpm 12v, they should be good down to like <2v if you need to slow them down for lumias etc

    I would want 1 but it is too big for my projector.... Doesn't anyone make a small 1rpm motor... like the size of a quarter? If not someone should... lol

    there are small gear driven motors, i havent seen any that small that are that slow, but im sure they exist... whats nice about these is they have a silky smooth rotation

    Portescap and Maxon spring to mind. We mostly used Escap motors back in my Laserium days. Charlie McDannald found a bunch surplus in the early days and we were locked into $300 motor/gearheads. Though we did use two motors like the OP for reflection effects. i.e. a focused burn of aluminized mylar, crinkled aluminized mylar, and the classic "La Bamba" wheel. (Which should be renamed for political correctness of course.)

    I've got a bunch of Hankscraft motors rated 4RPM @ 6V, though they work reliably as low as 2V. I'll match the eBay price of $9.99 ea plus shipping.
