[NewCandle] "jerk" motor

[Jones Beene]

BTW - small high speed motors are usually fairly expensive but the 
newer generation of hard disks have motors that spin at 7500 to 
10000 RPM using only a few watts. Sometime you can pick these up 
for free if the circuitry is bad, and they are easy to canablize.

Recently on eBay I bought an external backup USB drive - 180 GB 
for about 50 bucks. It can back-up my entire PC 160 GB drive I 
bought last year - and in amazing time. It blows me away how 
qyickly the cost has come down on these since, my first 100 
megabyte drive (actually 96 megs but a very big deal back then) 
which was over $1000 - and I was happy to pay that at the time 
(early 90's) !!!

Let's see 1,800 times more capacity for 20 times less money.
