My daughters high school band director asked for me to build a turntable large enough for a student to stand on and rotate on it.
the design is simple enough but the sizing of the motor is my biggest issue.
Here are my thoughts and please I am in no way an electrical engineer I am more of a DIY builder.
Platter will be @ 24"
person that will stand on the platter will be no more then 150lbs
RPM @6RPM
Would like to have remote on/off and maybe onboard speed control to fine tune the speed
the turntable will be on wheels and made of welded tube steel
the size of the frame that the platter spins on will be ~36"x30"
I should have room for a car battery inside the framing
The motor will need to spin for @ 15 min. and then once off the field they can recharge.
So my question is
What type of motor would be best, Stepper/Server/direct DC
What Size motor
What controller
thanks for your time on this
