I'll be selling my house soon and will have a small billboard-shaped
"For Sale" sign (about 4 feet wide) by the side of the road. I want to
'attract the eye' of passers by, and thought of the idea of putting
some flags on the top of the sign and having them rapidly flap back and
forth about every 3/4s of a second or so. I'm looking for suggestions
for motor size (and 'type'). Unfortunately, the road side is some
distance from the house (and there are other considerations) so I can't
run AC out to the motor so I guess this contraption will have to be DC
powered: any suggestions about powering the motor, battery size (??),
would also be appreciated. Need this contraption to work for about 8
hours at a time.
