Sew a Propellor-Equipped Beanie by Sox

What child, and those who are a child at heart, has not dreamed about flying? Now you can pretend with a beanie with a propellor blade.
The propellor was initially attached to a tiny motor, but the revolutions were so high that it would have been considered a lethal weapon if it had been worn with that configuration. Imagination fires the motor now.

Not necessarily. As I said in the intro, I wanted a motor but we couldn't find one that would spin slowly enough. If it is too fast you can't see the blade and someone might get hurt.

Hook it up to a weaker battery. Putting a resistor between the battery and the motor might do it.
