Retro-style laid back disassembly video
Added 2021-08-28 03:21:53 +0000 UTCAfter a long evening resolving annoying technical issues, I decided to chill out and do a more laid back teardown video.

Those motors are available in a wide range of voltages from 6V upwards. In dual motor water ripple effects I wire the 240V motors in series and they run fine, but a lot cooler than on full voltage.

2021-09-10 19:55:45 +0000 UTCI built a UV curing unit for resin prints a while back and used a synchronous microwave over turntable motor for the rotating mirror. Unbeknown to me the first motor I installed turned out to be a 30V AC motor - didn't last long on 240V mains. Where do they get 30V AC from inside a microwave and why not use a mains motor? So the next motor was stamped 230V and worked perfectly but it was very noisy. So I fitted a 220nF 400V capacitor in series and voila! no noise at all. The rotational speed and torque seem unaffected but it's now running quietly on about 130VAC.
