Well Guys, have been given a project by the manager of my bicycle store and I need some help. Thought someone might have some good ideas here.
The manager wants me to build him a display where he can showcase a new item we are selling, a device which hooks to your bicycle spokes, is battery powered and when riding your bike at night lights up your spokes and actually projects a message as the wheel turns. These are not new, I saw them in 2004 at the bicycle show in Germany one summer. Anyway we have an unused bicycle truing stand to hold the wheel with the device and I need some type of AC motor that I can mount to the stand, with a wheel attached, that I can bring in contact with the bicycle wheel to make it spin.
So I am looking for ideas on what type of motor to use, building a mounting bracket to connect it to the stand should not be a problem.
Any suggestions appreciated.
