How long do you think this C-size battery can power this CD-drive motor out of an old portable CD player?
I have had it running for 13 hours so far with no signs of slowing down.

considering a couple double A batteries usually last at least a month in a CD player with a display, and laser, etc also running off of it...
a long time

Just splice it to a cord for a wall outlet and plug it in. I wanna see what happens. Make sure to make a vid of the resulting housefire.
Otherwise I'm betting on luck 69!

You just reminded me of the time I took one of those discovery kits you used to get (this one was the electric motor kit) that ran off of batteries, and plugged it into 120V.
I remember seeing only a bright light coming from the motor for a split second, then afterwards...charred remains of the motor
I was only 10 when I did this.

I once took apart a clock radio that ran off 110v, and took the little inverter box out of it, and strapped the box to my favorite remote control car that ran of 2 AA batteries. I then proceeded to take a power wire from the inverter and hook it up to the motor and make it all work.
It was no longer cordless, but that little bugger HAULED. I dont know how much power I was pushing to that thing, but it finally blew one day.
