Possible lanwmover motor ?

[killajb]

I think the idea is neat, perhaps a different approach..

With the motor referenced, one would surely need quite a few batteries to keep things happy. Assuming you were going to go ahead with that, I'd ditch the blade for a string set-up (think weed eater). Something that swivels under low rpm, yet is thrown outward under the centrifugal force of 6000 or so rpm to cut grass.


Or.. if you wanted to pick another motor, a permanent magnet DC motor perhaps.. the desired rpm range can be met easier. Here's a good example: http://www.robotmarketplace.com/prod...MC-ME0909.html
