I bought a 6000 rpm electric motor today for $3.50. Then I cut the end off a 1" dowel and cut it to the shape at the bottom and drilled a hole the same size as the motor's rod thing and stuck it on. The motor fits well inside 1" SCH 40, and the wheel and 1" fit inside 1 1/4" SCH 40. Turning on the motor and just dropping BBs in spits them out all over my room too fast to see. Portable and non-bulky BBMG once I make a body and put a barrel on.
Yeah I am going to make it out of either solid Delrin or PVC sheet. It's that shape because the wood is crappy and the other two things sticking out broke off.
I just looked at the package and it's actually 9200 rpm and it's supposed to get hooked up to 1.5-3 volts. So I had to hook it up to a 9V battery and Jesus does it go! It actually sun so fast ( I'm not making this up) that when I poured the BBs on top through a tube they shot out so fast from the impact that it left little dents in my closet door and broke off another section of the BB wheel thing. The 9V battery has easily doubled the rpm, you can tell by just listening to it.
yeah the nine volt will make it spin alot faster but its definately not good for the motor! i wouldnt run it for long periods of time with the 9v if i were you. just short bursts
