As promise on other threads here I have 4 small films of my honey extractor that I have converted.
I 'm using DC battery source in this case 36 old ebike battery, equally it could be 24 v or anything form 20v - 50v as this is the voltage range that the digital driver will work at. An AC - DC power source can also be used the set up I have requires twin power sources to power the digital driver and the speed module or signal pulse generator. All in all without the battery the cost is about £80 to convert, for a power source other wise one can for about £10 -£15 buy a 24v or 36v lithium battery charger which will act aa a power source instead and a 5.5mm x 2.1mm jack plug Y lead.

I have had to open a flickr account as I can't upload direct on here so
I have added four small films with my dulcet tones narrating.
