Screws in a light socket. I am thinking of the possibility but I just don't know enough about electric stuff to interpret the numbers into pros and cons and safety. I do have a ceramic socket. I wouldn't think a plastic one would be safe.

I may have to test the 100W element this summer when the weather is nice. I could plug it up outside with an extention cord to run tests so if it combusts it won't take the house with it.

There can' be Mad Chicken Science without a little Adventure!

I am sure you could do anything! there is plenty of room on each side for a real motor contraption or you can make trays and just add pre-made individual turners too

I didnt want to mess with it forever and I needed it up and running quickly, but to be honest I wouldnt change anything YET but perhaps a light bulb
