Recently I have been looking for items I could use as propellers or fan blades and today I spotted a garden ornament with a 'flower' fan or windmill in my local bargain store. I used it to pull a simple fan car and was very pleased with the results. This is the project that used the electric motor I re-used in this episode.

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. https://www.youtube.com/user/GrandadIsAnOldMan
