Step 4Making it spin
I collected some motors from various surplus stores; finally found a nice sturdy DC job with low revolutions -- perfect! The motor "mount" is actually just a metal junction box in which the motor is suspended. Pretty crude, but slightly more high-tech than the sock.
I made a power supply out of an ATX computer power supply, following insturctions similar to these. This works great, because in order to change the motor speed, all I have to do is change which plugs I use. A variable power supply would be best. Double true!
