The large center gear is hooked up to a windshield wiper motor. Here's video of it (sorry for the shakey cam) [nomedia="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYeiXTbHbiM"]YouTube - Steampunk Bar[/nomedia]
The gears move a little too fast and it's kind of noisy. It's turning at 38rpm's with a 12V power supply. 5V should drop it to 15rpm and hopefully reduce the noise.
Great project. Really like what you did with the gears. Might have to steal that idea for the front of a making I am making.
Thanks for posting the video and pics
Great project! I love the whole thing. =)
If the gears were set up so they could turn, you could run one gear that would poke through the table top and it could turn a goodie tray on a lazy susan...
H.F.S. that is incredibly awesome. And I mean Awesome with the full dictionary meaning. I am awed. I am inspired now!
