I've had some comments of the electric motors I use on some of my projects. I have found that the motors in the solar fluttering butterfly and dragonfly garden ornaments work well with low power supplies and I have shown how to get them in several videos. This video is a compilation of the relevant clips in those videos. I buy mine in Poundland and 99p shops so you can guess how much I pay. I have seen them on eBay for all sorts of prices and I am glad I have a local supplier.

I will add this video to my Helpfiles playlist here

Generally my projects are for my grandchildren to enjoy. OK, I enjoy them too. If anybody else likes them, that is a bonus. I like to keep my work as simple and basic as possible so that it can be copied easily and improved by anybody who wants to try themselves. I recycle or repurpose items rather than buy new and when I do buy I like to keep it cheap.
