So I have a project in mind, I want to make a "sun and moon" rotating arts n crafts type clock thing. A decorated wheel that revolves once every 24 hours. At first I thought I would just get an electric clock movement, but now I'm worried that a movement won't be strong enough to handle the weight of the craft. So then I thought I a low voltage DC motor would work. Now I'm stumped trying to think how you would achieve such a low revolution. All I can think of is either a very low current going into it or some kind of circuit that pulses it to turn an extremely small amount every hour/minute. Is there an easy way for me to accomplish something?
I'm not averse to learning what I need to learn to get this thing done, although my knowledge of electronics is pretty limited at the moment. I'd be really grateful it if someone who knows about this stuff could point my in the right direction either to find a motor that fits my profile or a quick rundown of what I'll need to learn to make one that does.
