you can build a thermostat for the lamp with a few parts, i'll try to get
you the
schematic. for the motor a easy solution is a "grill motor" (which usually
rotates
the chickens etc.). It is geared down and has good torque, and usually
runs from mains
voltage. i've seen them new for less than 10eur so you should get one very
cheap.
You want a very, very slow feed speed in order to use only one pass
through it.
Many passes have the disadvantage that the board cools in between.
I will try to get that schematic for you, but drawings etc. for the
mechanic part are
not needed.
