terminator---james cameron's first attempt.

What do you use to connect the wiper motor to the legs not the metal part but what holds it together like nails or rivets?

[ulcerative]

@MMnumber9 The straight metal piece that extends from the motor to the pvc pipe for the action is bolted together using threaded machine screws and nylon lock nuts. I believe they are size 8-32 or 10-32 and about 3/4" in length.

How did you power the motor? I have a wiper motor but there is no wire or harness on it .Do you run yours on electric or a bettery?

[ulcerative]

@mojoroxylola 5-12 volts DC.

I am making a hanging man for Halloween thanks to your video.

I cant wait to see the reaction of the passers by on the night.

Halloween is not as big in the UK but it's getting bigger each year.

Thanks for the video and Happy Halloween.

how does the wiper motor work do you just need the motor or do you need the wiper motor controller with it im confused??????? can you help me out.

P.S. Great job i think your props are great

@Bmora123 @Bmora123 You can get a new and inexpensive wiper motor from Monsterguts(dot)com. And they also sell the power supplies to power the unit, or you can just find a spare 5 to 12 volt DC wall wart and power it with that to save even more money. In the end I just ended up bolting on a flat straight piece of aluminum stock that I picked up at Lowes, then bolt the aluminum piece onto the PVC pipe that crank the legs. There are some tutorials out there on how to build these step by step.....

jolie je me demander si pour le moteur tu avait mis sur batterie ou tu a trouver un transfo de 12volt tout simplement si oui peux tu me dire combien il faut d'ampère car le mien ne ve pas marcher

@goulies100 J'utilise une alimentation de 12 volts avec 5 A à partir de l'entreprise Monsterguts

@ Ulcéreuse mici bcp Pour la réponse

[rickybobbytalladega]

Did you have exact measurements for the framework? Excellent job btw!

[ulcerative]

@rickybobbytalladega No exact measurements, just used rough measurements based on myself.

[rickybobbytalladega]

thanks dude,,,,, stay tuned i am beginning soon on mine i will post once its done

[SoldierDA15]

is there a way to get it so that he kicks both legs at different times?

[ulcerative]

Never thought about it. But it sounds interesting. Last year I had a total of 3 motorized props. This year I have plans to build a total of 11. When I revisit this particular prop I will see if I can modify it to kick each leg independently. Thank you for the idea!

[SoldierDA15]

haha, no problem. my uncle's into dec'ing his house out for the holidays, and i thought it'd be pretty awesome if he decided to make one of these, with legs that kicked at different intervals to make it seem realistic. i just wanted to see if you hand any ideas. if you do find a way to make it kick each leg independently, please post another video of how it's designed. thanks again.

Very Nice! Construction looks alot more solid than mine. Just a note, glue may not hold up over time! I used two short sheetmetal screws on each side of the connecteors to hold pieces together. The glue just doesn't hold firm enough under the rough conditions of the kicking.

[darren115]

very cool that will look ace on the night 5*

[hd2kill]

Very impressive !

[deepdownproductions]

That's one of the better designs I've seen in a while (ie. Kicking dead man props). Nice video too.

[ulcerative]

Thank you, I hope it holds up until the big night.
