*disclaimer; I’m amazingly terrible at understanding engineering, science or math. But if explained to like a toddler, I usually have no problem grasping the overall meaning of what I need to know in order to solve problem.
I am trying to put together my own lure coursing machine. There is only one way I’ve found to do so without buying one for 1-2k. Which is to use a hangar 9 auto start 12volt Hd power supply ( it’s what’s used in the RC hobby community to jumpstart their airplane propellers prior to take off I guess) and power it with a;12volt lead battery.
The auto start motor ran for 15 min and of course the brushes failed because they’re just not meant for the application I’m trying to use it for. Not to mention when I was running it i was beyond disappointed with the speed.
So, i set upon trying to find an affordable motor that could be applicable to my project. And then I learned there’s a whole bunch of friggin motors, and a few days of internet researching was not going to narrow down my search terms.
Can anyone help me by suggesting the proper category of motor or a good link where i could learn specifically what I need to know without hours of reading regarding every single kind of motor.
The closest I’ve come is winch motor 2,5 horsepower. Because they are geared, which provides the high speed high torque and less wear and tear an auto start motor would induce if I chose to go that route.
AND PLEASE GUYS IM NOT LOOKING FOR THE ANSWER, from what I’ve read on most forums, it’s offensive for just anyone to come barging in and demanding schematics and specifications for free from members who are just trying to chat within their community.
I JUST NEED HELP POINTING ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION TO LEARN WHAT I NEED TO TO PICK THE MOTOR, SOLIENOID, RELAY SWITCH (I have no idea what those last two are I just know their in some of the machines with certain motors and not in others so..)
Am I at least close with thinking winch motor? I want the line to run a continuous 500 loop course at a speed of 39-50mph. The line they typically use is a kite string from dakrone similar to kite string, not sure if all the lines are weighted with a small 2lb weight but I have seen that as well. Motor shaft is mounted to a large 5-7inch wheel that feeds string out. Pulleys are set in design and hammered into the grass, the line runs along those pulleys giving it the right amount of tension to run the loop at said speed. (Oh yeah and there’s a bag or a fox tail usually attached that obviously teases the dog and mimicking prey and he chases it around.) I basically want a more powerful version of the lame ass SWIFTPAWS sells at a fraction of the price. Mostly because I know it can be done, the machine itself does not involve many components if I go the motor route and not the Chinese chip version.
