Thread: Haunted Tree using Vent Motors.

Tweet

Well it took three years of R&D and three redesigns, but I can finally check this bad boy off the list as being done.
There are two LED Fader circuits in the top and bottom and two vent motors. The bottom vent motor makes the skull jaws open and close and the top motor makes the arms of the tree move up and down (counter weights are used to offset the weight of the arms).

So being the typical girl that i am...whats a vent motor? lol!

I'm a girl too and I buy these things in quantity. I like working with them.

Wow! That turned out great!
The movement looks terrific!

Great looking tree, sometimes great things take a long time to get done. In the end it's all worth the effort.

I'm in love! Great prop!

Thank you.

That's gonna spook out the kids for sure! How in the world did you get all those jaws to open like that? I hope you'll post pictures of it's guts. This sounds like one heck of a complicated prop. Big payoff though, it's awesome.

Thanks so much...this looks amazing. Great inspiration!
