Man could I use your help!!! Which motor would you suggest using that is very lightweight and can make huge butterfly wings slowly open and close? The butterfly is going to be suspended above me...somehow..... not sure how just yet lol I think this year I am really pushing the envelope lol It's going to be nothing short of a miracle if I am successful. My goal is to be a fairy with a HUGE monarch butterfly floating above me to the side with wings that are motorized to open and close. I also have to figure out how to attach paper mache mushrooms and flowers to set the scene. I was thinking about attaching the shroms to my leg using wires and covering the wire with vines and flowers. As I am writing this I am thinking it's official,,,, I have lost my damn mind lol lol lol Thank you for any advice you could give me, it will be greatly appreciated!!!!

Had a suggestion (I'm a retired Fabric worker Air Force) use some spray glue on some card board and lay the templets down on the glued side, dry, and cut out… makes a stiffer templet. Use card board about as thick as a pizza box or even a pizza box if you like.

Where do you get the Vent motors wires that you have shown coming out of the vent motor (that you are pluging into the wall wart)? what are they called and do those wires come with the purchase of a vent motor? I want to buy the blower motor but the ones that pop up do not have wires sticking out that we can wire up to a wall wart. anyone know this answer? Also in your 2nd demonstration (has green guy with the hat), how did you attach the "Bracket" to the vent motor? does a screw just fit right into the vent motor thing that spins?

I'm working on a design for my 30 x 40 basement dark ride. The first few sections will be "some" of the following, mine,underground cavern, jungle, saguaro national forest, a scene with hills covered in wind turbines and then they begin to overload and explode. The last sections will be a Holy house rather than a haunted house, including Paul on the road to Damascus, Jesus healing the crippled man, Jesus walking on water, Jesus ascending into heaven and a cathedral with a pastor giving a sermon. Then on the way out a priest prop, will come out through a door and give his thanks for coming and blessings for the week.

This upload is a timeless classic. It has helped thousands of people from new beginners to experienced prop builders and I for one keep coming back to watch this recording several times a year, every year. Sometimes I come here for inspiration or to get my haunt mojo back and I often come here to pay homage to a great man who helped me so much. He spent a lot of time and effort to help me to make things that I deemed to be out of my skill or knowledgeable zone. I appreciated all Steve did for me and I miss the guy. Thank you for everything you have done for all of us and the whole halloween loving community. Best wishes 👍

While I appreciate the time you took to try to explain this, and while I know it's not what you intended, I ended up more confused about pneumatic props than before I watched your video. I had no idea there was so many parts to making a simple prop with this method. While the surprise or scare effect is not as good, I think I will be sticking to motorized props.
@kensmith5694 Жыл бұрын
There are also voltage regulators that will reduce the voltage on a motor. A keyword to look for is "buck". Basically they do PWM inside and then smooth the voltage to send to the motor. You can get them that will go down to as low as 1.5V.

Also: Many years back a friend of mine made a quite nice prop(s). Many people have seen "light organs" or "color organs" where the light comes on in reaction to a sound. He had two jack-o-lanterns. One was over here and the other over there. (you get the idea about 8 feet apart). He had a set of PC speakers with one speaker behind each. He then had two people record a conversation to produce a stereo recording with each person's voice in its own channel only. A nice thing about the way he did it, the actors could also hide and run it directly with microphones. This meant they could run the canned stuff most of the time and take over while thinking about which canned audio to use next.
