LOL, the 1:350 ratio really grabbed my attention when I first read it.

350 rpm sounds reasonable. The MIT link states a measured RPM of 375. I
guess it's very dependant on the input voltage.

No, Jan-Tore Skålvik originated this thread. Of course I'm very interested
in the responses too. I'd like to know what other people think.

Hey, that's pretty compact. It's definitely a gear-munching machine.

But, if you had a need for high gear reduction with a very low torque output
it would work great.
