Thank you so much! I am very glad that people like my projects. I will try to do interesting projects further.

I just wanted the motor to work 12 Volts, and not from 24 volts, since the car has only such a voltage.
I found

it has a power of 100 watts, but it is also 24 volts.
According to your advice, tomorrow I’ll go to the warehouse of old cars, try to find a motor there.

Using this gearbox from the angle grinder and the wiper motor, i began manufacturing a small winch for lifting a motor boat ashore. I hope to post a new video with the tests soon.

Lately I have been getting a lot posts with videos no longer available. Yes, they are usually 4-5 year older threads! If they have a YT link I can usually find the video there. However, many of these videos are only published on HMT and are re-posted by Jon years later. Do I have a setting wrong on my computer like "history off" or sumptin like that? What should I change?

[Jon]

Some of the videos are removed from YouTube. In the case of this thread, that looks like what has happened. If a video isn't displaying in a thread, but it IS displaying on YouTube, then that is probably due to some incorrect setting on the device you are using to read the thread.

Thanks, John. I'll try some different security settings in my browser. Its clear this video is no longer in the public domain. I'll see if it happens again with videos that are still published.
