I am not going to say what it is just yet, see if you can guess

Step 1 - Motor
12V DC geared motor, 10 rpm
The mounting holes don't go through like I figured so mounting is going to be a little messy.
I found an old and mangled drill bit extension shaft that I can attach, and perhaps epoxy into place

Motor goes forward and back based on polarity and as hard as I could hold the shaft it kept turning and drew a max of .3 amps.

so far so good.............

Well I am not going to say what it is so as to let others guess, and with that here is test part number 3

Fogger (not the cauldron)
The float keeps it at the right level and it puts out way more mist than my little cheap mister
I hear that these don't work in the cold, but I don't know how cold it has to be for them to stop
