jaysgoh Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 I saw someone use rc plane starters to power ball mill. I can get that essily. 12v heavy duty starter (14kg) Or Small wiper motor Anyone can teach me how to wired this Or Washing machine Most complicated wiring I can get these 3. I have pm the wiper motor but the seller didn't reply me.. I hope I can use the wiper motor as ball mill motor. Anyone can teach me how to wiring? I poor in electronic. Is not that simple like red and black wire. I'm thinking how to power it up? With 12v wall plug transformer box? Thanks
Jakenbake Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 I would try to use a wiper motor. I have several rc plane starters and none of them are 100% duty cycle. There are plenty of threads on here about making ball mills.
Shadowcat1969 Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 It's going to depend on how big your mill jar and media charge is as well. A 3" jar with 4 or 5 pounds of media probably would work ok with a wiper motor. For a larger mill, 6" jar or larger, you will want a motor that has more horsepower. 1/2 horse or so, I would say.
