jraef, thanks a lot again. Yes I need the shaft to spin at 06 RPM.
But as pointed out by itsmoked, I decided it will be better just to buy a small motor with included gearbox so I can have low RPMs and still good torque... in the end now I see the washing machine motor will not serve my purpose...
Wow that was fast and very detailed, MUCH appreciated!
The motor is like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgYZyZQbh-o
So, I think the safest will be to forget about it and try to find another alternative (probably a step by step one which is made for high torque and possibly low speed)...
I have a working motor from my washing machine. I works at high or very high speeds, but I want to do some experiments with my students and need it to run VERY slowly (eg 2 rpm). I have now idea about electronics but I just hope you can point me in the right direction, is this possible? I don't...
