I am a kinetic sculptor in need of some gear reduction help. I have a 2250 rpm .5 hp electric motor. i need to reduce the rpms to less than 5. the gear drive will turn a 30" plywood wheel, and it must turn slowly. the electric motor is the only one I have, so i must use it. I have a small budget, which I will use to have gears cut. I need to know gear diameter and teeth in order to create the pattern. I will attempt to upload a pdf of the gear pattern to help. any help will be greatly appreciated. also if anyone knows a gear calculator on the net with which I can calculate non-automotive gear ratio stuff, that would help too. My e-mail is revere521@hotmail.com, thanks
