hi friend, I copied your project and now that I would like to test it, I would kindly like to know what type of current and amperage I should use...for example 24v..how many amps? what type of transformer should I use?
Thanks in advance for your kindness.

What little setup. This the nicest version I have seen of this converssion

[Roberto-ccel]

my engine works at both 12v 30w and 24v 50w torque 15Nm...64rpm at 24V....
pulley ratio 14 teeth in the engine.. and 21 teeth in the lifting pin... this is what I had at home.. the lifting weight is similar to yours could you show me an Amazon link of what type of transformer do I need?
sorry if my translation is not correct:
Thank you.
