    Has anyone used a Window Motor as egg turner?

    Has anyone used a car window motor as a egg turner motor? If so, how did you hook it up? Do you have pictures? How do you get it on a timer to turn ever 2 hours? How do you get it to turn both ways? How do you stop it from going too far either way? How many pounds can it move?
