Thanks. You've done a good amount of work for me and i appreciate it. That motor isn't as exspensive as I was imagining it would be either.

It was an assumption of weight. What would be inside the box is about 150lbs of gear a person with max weight of 250 and about 200lbs of aluminum tubing to make the "box". I wanted to create a cockpit that would respond to an accelerometer from an rc plane. These aren't measured weights or...

Lol yeah I'm sure that I don't want to go there. So at this point I'm just going to continue to solve my problem for fun sake and choose a different direction or approach for what I was trying to do. Appreciate the help and guidance. You and the other members have been extremely helpful. I'll...

I will be looking into these gearboxes tonight. Thank you. I don't know anyone with solid works, I imagine its exspensive software. I will look locally for someone with it to possibly get a model simulated. Thanks again.

The axle cannot go through the box. And the rotation would need to be from a dead stop so yes a very powerful motor is what I am anticipating...and exspensive I am sure.

Here is quick sketch of what I'm getting at. As far as my background I am going through an electronics engineering technologies course with Lincoln tech. Its an accelerated program for electronics technicians. So far my course have been basic and specific math in regards to electronics and...

Wow. Okay so I have been a little naive here thinking my problem was much simpler than what it is. Thank you for your reply. Rather than me asking a bunch more questions on how to solve this stuff is there any book you might recommend that would help guide me in solving the answers to some of...

Hello all, My name is Jason. I'm an EET student working on a final project. Looking for some help on solving a mechanical issue is what brought me to this forum. Hopefully I can contribute in some way to helping others out as well. Thanks

Not sure if this is better suited for the electrical engineers or mechanical but I figured id post it up here to start. I am looking to size a motor that will spin a box which weighs about 600lbs. The motor needs to be in line with the boxes rotational axis. It needs to be able to rotate 360...
