Hi there @ All About Circuits,
I am looking to purchase an AC motor to turn a sculpture. The sculpture (pictures below) is around 25 lbs including the metal pipe. I was thinking to attach the base of the pipe to flange / wood and somehow affix that to the motor shaft, all house inside a rugged hollow wooden box with a hole for the pipe to rise through. Sculpture would make two full rotations each minute.
I realize this is barely an electronics issue, and mostly mechanical but I'm unsure where else to turn as everyone seems so helpful on these blessed forums. I attached a rough sketch of the mechanical concept . . .
