Home made pigeon spinner.

One shot on kill

Today I had a few hours spare and an old wiper motor.

So I stripped it and got a bar put it cross it and wired it to the battery. It spins fairly well and I'd hazard a guess and say its the right speed. Not to fast but not to slow either.

I had to rush of and meet tawny owl. So I didn't get a chance to make a stand for it. What sort of height should it be off the ground I was struggling to come up with an idea to make a stand with stuff around the shed. So has any one got any ideas of a stand I can use make or can the motor sit on the ground and spin from there.

Ye sound that would be great thanks.

I should take a picture of mine so it gives an idea of what needs to happen to mount it. How did you find it was it any good.

anthonyos

used it once and straw got tangled around the motor and drained the battery ...I charged the battery today and got over an hour out of it so I will need a few batterys but I can get them for free

That the right looking yoke infairness. What lenght did you make the arms on it. Is that half inch copper your using.

anthonyos

no its 6mm round bar that I only taped on today I was using 10 mm bar with a cradle to mount the dead bird but it was very heavy so I ordered two foam birds today ..keeping it light weight it important I think

I made a good for mates and I use the cow sticks ya get at the ploughing
light and very flexable

One shot on kill

Cow sticks ye could work alright do you have any specs you made it to.



I had a leghnt of half inch copper there was thinking of using that but was unsure how long it would last. So I just got a flat bar half inch by 4-6 mm put a hole in it and bolted it straight on. There about 2half foot either side in lenght.

anthonyos

what battery are you using on pigeon magnets and how long do you get my arms are just over 4 half foot

Johnny max

have them made on stand 3ft over ground and arms are 3ft6" long
batterys are the same as the lamping ones 7amp, I bring twe when going
and have switch on magnet.

anthonyos

my batteries are 12v 7a and they last no time and my motor gets hot ..how long you get from a battery and do you know what car the motor came from

One shot on kill

The battery I have is a 12v 17.2 amp I think its what I bring for my lamp. Great lenght of time out of it to be fair I may leave the magnet on tomorrow and see how long it runs that for.

If you need anything welded let me know.

If u get ya hands on a relay switch you can program different settings for speed on it.
Bit more complicated but can work a treat and can be used with a Remote and aerial.
There's a pigeon magnet on donedeal for sale and has been for about a year and no one has bought it yet. Dodgy work if say but to make it with wiper motor can be set on different speeds with a relay.
Was told an old Nokia phone can work as a remote.
Anyway that's my two cents

When i made mine i used the fan speed switch off the heater out of the scrap car where i got wiper motor off of

One shot on kill

I have a speed switch there I can use how important is the speed of the spinner. What hight of the ground should the birds be.

Here's a pic of the one we made.It works well with no speed switch

Found these videos on youtube.

Whats the story with the electrics are they difficult to do?

shotie

thats the way i made my one sorta only i cut corners and made mine out of what ever i had. i made the long bars to hold the birds on with old tent polls grand and light didnt bother with a speed either works fine with out diff speeds mines connected to a car battary last for every.

supposidly an electric window motor works better as its draw less power than the window wiper motor so the battery lasts longer

threw on together myself this morn outa bits lyin around and wiper motor outa car i use for spare parts for my own car.. i used a car battery and tent poles for the arms...where to get foam decoys is my next problem as u need them light as possible...would a wing of real pigeon either side work???!

shotie

i just tie clip a pigeon ive shot onto mine and it works perfect or i often use the shell pigeon decoys that works too
