This project is a fan jet car built from two coffee cups, a chocolate powder tin, a hairdryer motor and fan, and some scrap wire. If you have a question it is probably worth reading this video description first because the answer may already be here. To help you find my videos I made two search guides https://youtu.be/ceBSOoOHcgw or https://youtu.be/Zj4UgwkwYRk or checkout my playlists page https://www.youtube.com/user/GrandadIsAnOldMan/playlists?flow=grid&view=1 Why did I build it? The coffee cups just happened to be the right size to fit the hairdryer fan blade. It is heavier than the one I made recently from polystyrene cups so it is not quite so quick, but once it gets moving it goes fine. I wrapped the cups and the tin in scrap paper to cover the logos of the shop they came from to avoid any copyright issues.

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
