I'm looking for a continuous servo and blower like a centrifugal server fan

I'd like to make a simple little bubble machine.

Just buy a 1961 Electrobubble

A speed controllable DC fan is what you want, not a servo. Any small centrifugal blower should work, I'll look through my parts bin and find you something.

well I have to have something to rotate the bubble wheel slowly

you're suggesting I use a fan?

I ordered one of these so all I really need is the blower now which I'll probably power with an old electric drill battery

Why didnt you just buy something like this for $5 and rip it apart?

cause I want something bigger that will blow more bubbles

That will not move the fan fast enough to produce bubbles. Trust me on this. If the airflow is too great you can simply use a baffle. Also you don't just "power" a servo, it requires a digital control and in this case modification because they're only meant to actuate 180deg.

I have several suitable blowers, you're welcome to come by and grab one.

I was planning on modifying the servo for continuous rotation per these instructions

DX is awesome.. just sucks that the stuff takes a few months to get to ya. You know a way to
speed up the shipping? I think there used to be this .99 cent thing you could buy to get it through customs faster but I didn't see it last time I ordered.
