AI Thread Summary
To build a remote-controlled motor device, key components include a main motor, a stick, a step motor for pulling a rope, a remote control, and batteries. The main motor should rotate the stick for a set duration, while the step motor needs to pull the rope multiple rotations. Additional considerations include selecting appropriate motors, a timing electronic chip, and a suitable remote control system. Battery choice is crucial for maintaining a lightweight design, especially if the device is used over long distances. Providing more details, such as a sketch and the intended use of the rope, will help refine the design and component selection.

hi guys

i want to make a device consists of
- a motor
- stick (60 cm long, 0.4 Kg)
- remote control
- step motor to pull a rope
-buttries

the idea is the main motor rotates the stick for seconds or for a minute. and the step motor pulls the rope 360 or 720 degrees. and all these motors controlled by a remote control from a distance around 50 to 100 meters. the device should be light not heavy...

the HELP i need are
- what elese i need ? (some people told me i need some electronic chip for timing)
- what type/kind of motors i can use? (by the way i don't knw much about motors)
- what type of remote contol i can use?
- what type of buttries i can use?

am sure you have the right path and better ideas than what i have... TELL ME PLEASE

THANKS

What is a rob?
 
sorry
a rope
 
You really need to give us more detail. A sketch would be an excellent start. Also, you should tell us things like what the rope is hauling, how much it will be used, etc. For example, you're hauling over 50 to 100 yards - batteries might be a poor option, unless you're talking car batteries - but that won't be very light...
 
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 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'
Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...
