I gave up watching at about 4:30. My thoughts... There was no need to break the circuit with both wires. One would have been cleaner and less work. Another would be to save all that hideous work and get a normally open momentary switch (NOMS) for a dollar. While you're at it pick up a potentiometer for another dollar and have true infinitely variable speed. Thanks for trying I guess.

@scoobyblue726 dont need to, you cant convert a computer atx power supply for $15. you get 12volt, 5v, and 3.3v on the same supply.. since most electric moters are dc its perfect. theres a vid on here that shows ya how too.. think its atx lab power supply .. built mine for a hydrogen generator :-)

[Me102288]

not variable.. but vary cool.. on/off/on/off lol wire a light dimmer in the chain to make it fully variable, you'll be able to control the rpm's on the moter. I wired a light dimmer on an extension cord.. plug in anything and have variable voltage control with the twist of a button.. totally awesome
