I know nothing about engineering and electronics. So this is where I need help.
I'm constructing a ferris wheel, it's only one side and it's made mostly of plywood, because it's light, and easy to design stuff with.
How does one go about creating a device with variable speeds so the wheel could actually move? I thought of deconstructing a fan, but those speeds are too fast.
Also, how can I work lights into it? Maybe with some kind of flickering pattern?
If anyone has any idea, it's be awesome if you could help me out. Oh, the Ferris wheel is meaning to be about 8 feet high, if that matters.
Thanks to anyone who knows anything,
Priss
