I am in business school and every year we do a charity event called hogs for the cause (http://www.hogsforthecause.org/ ). This year we are planning on putting a pig on a spit and have designed the cooking apparatus. I have combed craigslist and found an electric motor that should be able to power the spit to turn. The problem is the $22 motor is a 1/2hp with a steady 1750rpm rate. Is there a way that I can slow that down to 6-10rpm? I was planning on using some gears but could I just throw a light dimmer on the cord and slow it down like that?
Any non-complicated, not very technical solutions are appreciated. I have a couple of engineers in my program so they could help out if you need to go super tech on me. Thank you in advance.
