I'm making a motorized radio flyer wagon. I build things like this a lot, but I almost always use gasoline engines. Since this project isn't meant to go nearly as fast as my others, I thought I could use electric motors to save on gasoline. I have an AC Electric Motor from a band saw, but I know enough that an AC motor won't work on DC current, because of the coil setup. How would I convert DC to the required power for this specific motor? How does changing the voltage or amperage of the power source affect the speed and power of the motor?
EDIT: I didn't mention that I'm using a 12 volt battery, from one of those kid's car things.
