I do not know that a bungee cord would work. It takes a hell of a lot of torque to turn it.
I used a windshield wiper motor for the power source with an 8:1 or 10:1 gearbox. I do not remember the exact transmission I used for it. I got the gearbox from W.W. Granger. (Love those guys!) For a belt, I had some extra twist link belt left over from a drill press that I had at the time.

I do recommend using the windshield wiper motor though. Since it is 12V by default, I can run it from a battery. When I want to plug it into household power, I just used a transformer. That part works great.
