Americanamafia Pillar of the Community United States 672 Posts	Posted 05/24/2011 9:57 pm I made one, actually used the second one you have as my plan. I got very frustrated with it because at the speed it ran I could go thought them by hand twice as fast. The balance always needed adjusting as well. It was a fun "I'm bored" project, but wasn't practical. It would be beneficial to someone who couldn't read the dates though. Report this Post to the Staff

Americanamafia Pillar of the Community United States 672 Posts	Posted 05/26/2011 10:56 am I used an electric motor I pulled out of a broken RC car, just played with the voltage with a rheostat till I got the speed I wanted. I made it on the cheap with stuff I had lying around. I used a scratched CD as the wheel, the only issue I had was getting the coins to go in straight. They had to be lined up perfectly and not to high because the weight would mess up the wheel. Report this Post to the Staff

The designs do work, I just found them not to be very efficient. Report this Post to the Staff
