Metal grate was removed previously

Removed motor from previous project

Attempted to attach motor to wormgear box

Proper coupling is required to connect wormgear to output of the motor; 5/8″ to 1/2″.

The motor is used to drive the wormgear to drive the arm that will somehow push the 2nd and 4th grate in our model. The first and third grates are stationary and the second and fourth grates move to sort the municipal solid waste (MSW). The steel members of the frame may be replaced in the future to make it more sturdier. Possible plans to incorporate microcontrollers

Controller for the motor

Attempt to connect motor to the wormgear box.

Coupling used to connect motor to wormgear. A new coupling clamp needs to be ordered to connect output of motor @1/2″ to input of wormgear @5/8″.

Combustion chamber model. Steel grated screen was removed to make modifications.
