Has anyone come up with a way to use 24V motors for their equipment?
I see many of them at low prices, but only know how to use 90V motors.
Thanks,

A friend was trying to figure a way to make knives in the evening, during camping trips with his wife. I suggested a 12V DC motor. He could power it with his vehicles electrical system, and run a grinder with it. I don't think he ever tried this, but if you go camping with military surplus vehicles(they use 24V systems), maybe this would work for you. ;) :D
I really don't know. Possibly a transformer would allow you to use shop voltage, and you could get some use from it. :confused:
 
I guess the 24V motors are used a lot in go-carts and the like. They seem pretty common and less expensive, but that is probably because the are not much good for anything else.
Now that is a hardcore addict. Can't even go camping without wanting to grind!

Wapiti,

While shopping for my motor I was actually pricing, 24 volt trolling motors on ebay!

Think about it. You can get 1hp, it comes with a forward and reverse multi-speed control.

I figured a couple of deep cycle batteries with a charger would work for me. I only get a few hours in the shop here and there.

Then when camping you can do a little bass fishing with it too. ;) ;)
