I'm using a small motor, squirrel cage and hepa filter from a furnace as a solder fume filter.
The motor just spins TOO fast. So I'm trying to slow it down to reduce noise.
I have lots of transformers and lots of extra enameled wire.
What I'm wondering is if I will need to put a capacitor on it somewhere, either in parallel or series for the emf.
What gauge of wire I should use.
And any other suggestions.
I pulled this motor apart and greased the old bearings. I really need to replace them. I just don't want to take it apart a second time, at least yet... I stabbed myself in the base of my thumb and got a nice scar from it, so I'm not looking forward to doing that again.
