Thankyou Gaberiel for that comment. A lot of thought went into its design. Like you I also looked at all the youtube builds, thought about what they had done wrong, and then how i could make a better one. Turned out it worked well first time we tried it.
To collect the rocks, maybe cap off the far end, and add a second position to increase the slope, open the capped end and collect rocks in a wheelbarrow. Nice design!
Great vid. I also thought about using a gas motor when I was getting trouble finding a electric motor that I could adjust the speed. But I got lucky and got a treadmill from someone with everything working. Doing my final touches now. Really excited for the final results.
i have look at atlest 15 other set up and you are so far is the only one that is actully usein a gas engine AWSOME , i had a mind on buildin one for myself but in a heavyer material for rocks ...and have a brand new moter too like your but my is 7.5 hp ?.tks
It looks good and well made. How about slowing that drum down to 30 rpm and teach your lady to tie back her hair around rotating machinery. Basic safety.
She's dressed up for the video and nowhere near the belt so probably okay. Good general advice though - I've known several women who got a chunk of hair pulled out by machines.
I can use a lawnmower motor to make that or any other small engine for that matter, but I prefer an electric motor, because of the noise, I think the design is great, even if it is expensive, is worth the money, I love it, regards from a fan, you've got my support.
You may have to make a belt. I'm currently making one and in the final stages. Gna use an old treadmill belt. Cutting and joining it for my required length and coating it with a anti-skid spray paint. Hope this helps.
Hi Igor I hope you and your friends and family are keeping well in these trying (Covid 19) times. I thank you for your comment... the RPM is increased or decreased using the throttle on the engine wich is a 2 stroke engine..
