Found a smaller fan blade on a garden ornament wooden windmill so I made this fan jet car from a beer can. The fan blade was not such a good fit as I had hoped and the beer can was very weak so probably not the best choice of chassis but it still works.

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.
