I know thi ssounds stupid but i really need a good use for a wiper motor i have

Ive looked at a bunch of sites but none of the wiper motor props ive seen really suit my haunt. Something like madmax's on the rocks prop would be cool

Any ideas?

Making a prop like that is really simple...the body is just chicken wire with a PVC spine and shoulders. The linkage is just a piece from a door closer (type like in stores not storm door) but anything can be used....even PVC.

If you want a few pictures of the linkage and connection I can get them.....if it ever stops raining:(

I just compleded a skeleton seperation prop with a wiper motor. I found a crate from a grandfather clock. It's about 7 feet high, 30 inches wide. Made into a jail cell. The motor lifts a drops the torso from the skeleton's hands and arms streched over his head. The hands and arms are tied to the top, and so he looks like he's doing pull ups, leaving his legs stationary in the jail cell. A cardboard screen between the skeleton and the motor from skeleton with pulleys attached at the top.

I always liked the kicking legs lawnmower prop.

kicking legs like Hibs mentioned though, used in a hanging body

A flying crank ghost could be made from that motor. Just use a smaller than 12 v transformer and the rev/min will reduce. AND EVRYONE NEEDS AN FCG!!
