Hoping you guys can help me. I am looking to make an automatic hop dropper that will drop my hops into the boil via rotating disc. Think lazy susan with a hole in it.
Two questions: What is the best way to convert AC to DC for a small hobby style gearbox/motor?
Also, what gear ratios would I need to drive a lazy susan that will support/spin only aboue 2 pounds? I really only want it to be the speed of a rotisserie (which by the way will not work because it spins in a different direction each time it is started)
Thanks for any input you can give me.
