how to make electric fan

how to make electric fan

  • 1 electric motor
  • 1 set of fan blades
  • 1 9V battery
  • 2 short sections of wire*
  • 1 case to house the motor and battery*
  • Note: Items marked with a * are only needed if a case is used.
  1. Take your fan blades and ensure they have a small hole or some way of attaching them to your motor.
  2. 2
    (optional) If there is no suitable way to attach them, use a small drill to make a hole that the motor spindle can fit through.
  3. 3
    Once you are sure that the blades can be attached to the motor, fit the motor into your casing, with the spindle poking out so the blades can be attached.
  4. 4
    Fit the battery in the same case.
  5. 5
    Connect the motor to the batteries and check that the motor works with the battery and that the motor is spinning the right way.
  6. 6
    Seal the case. If it doesn't clip together, you may need super glue or some other method to stick it shut.
  7. 7
    Attach the blades. You could clip them on if there is a tight fight, or you may need super glue.
  8. 8
    CONGRATULATIONS! You have now made your own electric fan.
