    Hi Velimir. Welcome to the Zone!

    I would think you could get by much less expensively using a gear motor. For a timer you could use a cam disk that rotates once every 2 hours and trips a microswitch for a certain duration.

    you are right about gear motor,but here in Croatia we are on 220V,not to mention expencive gear motors,so i was thinking about stepper motor!
    For example,stepper motor we can find here for ~17$,but gear motor is ~ 45+$,and is hard to find!And if i Ebay it,+ shipping cost,really not so much economical!

    Thanks,
    Velimir

    A stepper motor will not turn without electronics. You will need a power supply, motor driver, speed controller, and some knowledge on how to wire it together.
