Hi, thanks for the great video. I have a question relating to the 1/2 hp motor. Do you you know how many rpm that it does? As I have even told that it can vary. Thanks 😀
In another video i think he said the barrel turns at 35rpm. ~2' diameter barrel. If the motor is 2" diameter, it will need to spin 12 times as fast (12 inches to 1 foot) 35*12=420 rpm for the motor. If motor is 1", 840 rpm.
Hi Sushma: This is where we found the plans for the Von bachmayr drum. Hopefully this will help. sites.google.com/site/onseedballs/How#TOC-The-Von-Bachmayr- Thanks for watching!
Hi @Ninja Couples the motor is a simple 120v 15amp 1/3 hp fan motor connected by a series of reducing pulleys by fan belts to the drum itself. each pulley reduces the rotation rate keeping the drum rotating at about 35 rpm.
Wonderful demonstration. I loved it.
I agree, thanks for sharing your Knowhow
How do you go from the raw material (clay, compost, etc), and start forming the individual spherical shapes? Do you add individual pieces first?

Where do you get the dry material from and what is it called please?
They clay we use is called RED ART terra cotta clay made by a company in the U.S. called RESCO.
Where can I get clay dust?
Hi @Proventus we got the dry clay powder from a ceramics studio supply store. Check for something like that in your area. Thanks for watching!
Motor how fix?
