Wind-up Motors

[vmln8r]

Could someone please recommend the wind-up motor most suited to make a small clockwork model? Ideally I'd like the one with the most revolutions - the Racers pullback motors from 2009 are powerful but don't spin for very long. I'd like one with the opposite characteristics

Oh I forgot - I'm considering this one.

Maybe gear them up?

Maybe gear them up?

Hmm, that would work, but wouldn't that place a lot of strain on the motor? I.e. the gearing up would increase torque load on the motor and reduce the speed of rotation? I'm not sure, I'll try it out. Thanks

On page 37 of "The Lego Book", there is a picture of a "Clockwork Engine" from 1981 using the bb46 "Windup Motor 1980s". It uses the bb47 "Windup Motor 1980s Key".
