i need help slowing down this motor for a school project! im hoping for 5 RPM. i know about electronics i just suck at the math. here are the specs. of the motor: 1.5-3VDC voltage range
8700+/-12% RPM at no load, 5800+/-12% RPM at max efficiency speed
im powering it with a 1.5V battery.
I tried to put a resistor on it but like i said i suck at the math and the resistors i buy stop the motor completely. with out the resistor it's like superman.
i read about using gears or something to slow it down but im only limited to a 4 1/2X 4 1/2 inch base. please help!!!!!
