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.
 
I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?
Thread 'How Does Jaguar's 1980s V12 Dual Coil Ignition System Enhance Spark Strength?'
I have come across a dual coil ignition system as used by Jaguar on their V12 in the 1980's. It uses two ignition coils with their primary windings wired in parallel. The primary coil has its secondary winding wired to the distributor and then to the spark plugs as is standard practice. However, the auxiliary coil has it secondary winding output sealed off. The purpose of the system was to provide a stronger spark to the plugs, always a difficult task with the very short dwell time of a...
