i just scored 2 old 12v air compressor motors, does anyone know what kind of power i should be expecting? im guesing about 100w for the smaller one, i havn't tested the bigger one yet but i have tested the smaller one, running off a nealy flat 10v remote control car battery you couldn't stop it turning over with your hands, any gueses as to power? ill post some pics if requested.

thanks

Hayden

the small motors about 9.5 cm(3.75") long(not including shaft), 8 cm(3.15") in diamiter and has an 8mm(0.315") thick shaft, the large motor doesn't work because some of the magnet has broken off and the whole thing smells like dead electric engine so yeah, that ones no good. Sorry i dont have any pics yet, i cant find the camera and my camera fone is well, pretty pathetic.
