    Hey I got this neat little electric motor out of a dish washer.

    Elaborate a little??
    If you mean the 120vac then a switch in the live or hot lead will work?

    Here's what it looks like. I want to make a little coil gun and this looked handy.

    If I could turn off one side of it id make some sort of use for it.

    but maybe i could use it to spin the round? dunno yet.

    Looks like a small standard induction motor, the stator appear to have the two sets of windings, so normally there would be a capacitor for the run/start winding, I doubt if it is shaded pole?
    Is there a cap located anywhere?
