What kinds of home appliances and or common items can reversible AC motors or heavy duty DC brushed motors be salvaged from?
I've already used a salvaged DC motor from a cordless drill to power an automated aluminum can crusher, and the controls for that are relatively easy. (Still working on the python programming for the control module, but that will just take time and testing, with all the detection system, limit switches and control mechanisms.)
I'd like to see what other sources of salvaged motors people have used.
