Thread: Monster in the Box - Wiper Motor - HELP

Haha - believe it or not, I was dumb enough to try the fan motor idea and it's definately not powerful enough.

I shall take a look at the picture dazgill and I look forward to seeing yours too Crunch

Thank you guys very much!

You might wish to keep the fan motor for a secondary effect.

In addition to a more powerful motor for lid raising and box rocking - try attaching a lightweight metal chain (think the ones used to link pens to a desk) to the fan motor. Put this in a coffe can or otherwise surround with some metal or plastic. When turned on it will make a nice racket and rattle. The chain should be pretty short as to not get wrapped around motor. I also suggest mounting motor so that shaft faces down, so when turned off, the chain simply falls downward away from motor.

With a great soundtrack and some good speakers, you can achive the same effect safer, but 'real sound' is hard to beat sometimes.

The fan motor and chain I've seen before as well. Except he used a heavier chain.
