I’m looking for a motor that has variable speed control which could be used to control a Disco Ball.

I know that "American DJ" makes a motor, but it only works with the DMX lighting protocol which I don’t have and is total overkill for my needs anyway.

1. Does anyone know of a motor that exists other than American DJ’s?

2. If not, can a motor be customized and built for under $100?

3. Finally, can anyone provide a URL to an motor manufacture or electronics surplus store that might answer any of these questions?

I should add that using a potentiometer / rheastat (light dimmer) will NOT work with the existing motor I already own.

Thanks
Here’s a URL to the existing motor I already own:

You state that you have a motor already. So I’ll put my reply into a couple of different parts.

1) If your motor is an AC motor, the only way to properly vary the speed of an AC motor is with a variable speed motor drive. Toshiba makes some small ones (under 1 HP). But you have to manually set them and control them. They are digital.

2) If your motor is a DC motor, a variable DC voltage source is what you require.

For your motor you will need an inverter(a device for changing the frequency).Look for a DC motor with a mechanical reduction and a dc speed controller.(you can use the motor and reduction from a mechanical toy),or you can try at a RC models store.

Federation Surplus Dustbuster Hero Phaser prop from first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Left setting button moves Power Meter up – right button moves Power Meter down. Three settings with an additional overload. Just before the Fire sound is played the Pre-Fire ring lights up and then the tip – after the sound stops the Pre-Fire cools and “Pops” once and shuts off. – pretty dope eh?!

Electronics made by electronics guru that worked on Trek from TNG through Enterprise. Made by Brett Jones from studio made parts – Enjoy!

I have approached a GM rep earlier this year at the GM building in detroit during a audition for a tv show about people who is asking for money for any reason. Any way I had talk to this person and he said to contact the engineer department. There is a trust factor, auto companies they like to rip off new tech from individuals and shaft them and call it there own. The military is just as slick. Remember the guy who made things levitate in his apartment with old surplus electronics. The military came saw and rapped his apartment of everything eventually. The guy didn’t even get paid. What shall I do?
This new energy source is for real. Imagine riding in your vehicle across country from Detroit to Califronia. Need gas? never. Need to recharge at a stationary recharging port ? never. Need snacks, drinks? Yes. This is what can be in the near future with my system called the Sress. It’s a real working small scale prototype. It works like it was projected to work.11 years in the making.

Here is where you need to start inorder to protect your rights:

Federal, state and local regulations require proper disposal of surplus electronic equipment because it is often environmentally hazardous. The Electronic Equipment Recycling State Term Contract was established by ITMO with the help of the South Carolina Department of Commerce, South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control and the South Carolina Surplus Property Office to ensure the proper disposal of this equipment.

You know those items that sell at the outlet stores for way less than in retail stores, yeah, the ones that seem to have slight flaws in them, or they may have minor things wrong with them? I was wondering if there is a surplus place online that deals in items such as these. If so, does anyhone know of any websites tha I can go to get items such as these? Or any information for that matter would work. I own my own electronics repair company and I am looking to expand and sell much more than just the things that people leave behind.

Thanks In Advance
And not ebay, I am talking about a stand alone store where I can purchase these items in bulk!

thee are a number of stores on ebay that sell ‘as is’ electronics and other goods – some of the prices are great as most dont have the knowledge or experience to repair these items
