Hello, I am a real newbie when it comes to electrical mechanics etc, so I be really happy for some help.
I have a Tamiya electric pulley unit set up to form an aerial tramway.
The trouble is that when I connect a battery to the electric motor, it runs too fast. The RPM of the motor is too much for a realistic tramway.
I am using the smallest battery that will power the motor. It is a 1.5volt battery.
I know gearing would normally be the answer, but there is not room for additional gears on the Tamiya kit and it is all custom built. I have my small pulley wheels driving the large pulley wheel, but the speed is just too fast.
Can I buy some sort of power regulator to slow down the electric motor ?
If I bought a smaller electric motor would that have lower RPM ?
Any ideas would be most welcome.
Thank you.
