If only have concrete / cement without plaster ceiling have to use cutter to create a "longkang" to put wires, and plaster it back. Using diamond cutter will be fast and easy, only -ve side is dusty, therefore need to wet the area first to reduce the dust.

9V battery is just the voltage high. But the Amp is very low. Even lower than the AA.

You need high Amp to run if the voltage is lower.

9v battery is the least amps you can get. You may need like 100 of it.

Check the motor watt, you know the AH required.

A 200 watt motor, need at least 18amps for a 12v battery.
