Halloween 2006 - Original Design The Flying Crank Ghost is my first animated prop that I ever built, and this is what started it all. The original version consisted of a large 8' tall PVC frame from which an animated ghost hangs. The ghost moves up and down with independent movement of the arms. The ghost is driven by a single windshield wiper motor powered up by a cheap power supply. We were pumping 4.5 volts into the motor at 200 milliamps. That's about as slow as I could run this motor and still have enough torque to lift the ghost. I should mention that this prop is roughly based on the original design by Doug Ferguson over at http://www.phantasmechanics.com. Halloween 2008 - Rebuild (Content coming soon!)
