AI Thread Summary
For an electric wine opener, a universal or DC motor is recommended due to their affordability, ease of control, and lightweight nature. A gear motor may be necessary to achieve the desired low RPM of around 60, as standard motors operate at higher speeds. The motor should be reversible and compact, fitting within a cylinder of 30mm diameter and 70mm length. Additionally, considerations for moisture resistance in the design are important. Overall, selecting a motor that meets these specifications will ensure functionality and practicality for kitchen use.

Hello Friends,

Excuse me if my question is silly, but I am sure you guys can help me out quick.

I am thinking to make an equipment like wine opener. For this purpose I need to chose an electric motor. I am not sure what kind of motor I should look for.

As in the initial phase I can think of a motor running on AC so that I don't have to worry about a transformer. But later I would like to attach a battery as well.

I am not sure to explain how much torque/power I need but say it should be atleast double the power of a wine opener.

It should be reversible. I need this to make a kitchen product. so the motor cannot be expensive.

RPM should be low as around 60rpm but if I can inrease or decrease that will be even better.

It should be small in order to fit inside a cylinder of dia 30mm and length not more than 70mm.

The product can be in contact with moisture or even water. This can be taken care by the casing as well.

Can you suggest which kind of motor will be satisfying aforementioned criterias?
I tried to search on internet but its too much information for me to comprehend and get a start.

Thanks
Jose

Typical kitchen appliances use universal and DC motors. They are inexpensive, easily controlled, bidirectional, and relatively lightweight.

Based on your speed request, you might want to get a gear motor, or you'll have to make your own gearing system since motors typically run much higher speeds.
 
Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
