Thread: Is there a tutorial for...

Tweet

Hi guys!

I'm going to be going to the junk yard tomorrow to pick up a couple of windshield washer motors, so I can make my first foray into real electronic props. Does anybody know where I might find a good tutorial for how to use one of these motors for props?

I'm looking for something that will tell me what other components I'm going to need and how how I set it up so I can power it, things like that.

Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks in advance!

Check out Joiseygal's rocking clown prop there's a very good how-to on it and its a great prop to make. Demented Clown Rocking Chair Prop

Make sure you get the washer pump also it shouldn't cost over a couple dollars and it will come in handy at some point. The best thing about this small pump....DC Current, no worries about getting shocked.

This is what it will look like and it can be used in fountains or to make a bleeding prop.


I used two pumps washer pumps on this prop to make it bleed out of the eyes
