rotating in an oven question
(OP)
is there a way to create a device that would rotate in an oven? all I could find was info on rotisserie ovens. I am thinking a cross between a timer and a wind up toy.
Thanks.
Thanks.

If you are real curious - you can buy a brand new one for about $70!! Or go to Goodwill and find one for about $10.

You're thinking of a wind-up device, so I'd imagine that there's a spring involved. You may want to look into high temperature materials for highly stressed parts like that: Inconel for example.
Good luck with your design.

Now I'm not sure they were directly over the heat/in the oven but it might give you a starting point.
As others say, if you can better explain what you're trying to do someone may come up with another avenue to explore.

I am looking to make a kind of turntable that is not electronic that can be taken in and out of the oven for a project I am working on.

But if you're rotating the oven, why is the turntable inside the oven?

Mechanical spring motor gets tricky above 200 F or so, due to softening of typical (cheap) spring steel.

Turntable heavy enough to not move, or add clips / protrusions to catch on the oven rack limiting rotation until they hit the wires.
Mag base to oven door (wide enough that torque from the motor does not spin it off of the door, probably 2 magnetic feet)
