1.5 running ball lifter

[birdbrain]

just ran home built ball lifter for 1.5 hours nonstop. never jammed never failed. thats lifting the balls 48 inches just to test it with a little extra load. a few more minor mods and it should be ready to replicate!
heres a pic before the up tube was designed and installed

That's cool!
How cost effective will they be?

[birdbrain]

will be available for about 1/2 the going rate mabey a little less if i can get the motors in a bulk shipment. the motors 110v / 60 rpm

[logicprobe]

What kind of HP does the motor need?
Or is it all still in testing.

Looking good, BB!

1/5 hp gear drive motor. zippo next to it to show size. about the size of a motor on a japanese lifter.

Those look like hopper motors we once used. I might be able to get you some to try.

I'd say it's good. I mean, who needs girls at the beach when you have us?
