Students learn little from the experience of snapping pre-made and pre-designed propellers and wind turbine rotors onto their projects. We wanted them to learn through inquiry and experimentation; designing, testing and re-designing. What did we find? Students absolutely love to build their own rotors/propellers, and learn an amazing amount from it.
The kit comes with a hub that mounts directly to 1.5-3V or 3-6V project motor. It can attach 1-to-6 blades.
- Plenty of extra toothpicks are included for alternate blade designs and experimentation. For longer blades, skewer sticks can be used instead of toothpicks.
- You will need to supply recycling bin materials and tape for the blades.
- Use these on air boats, air racers, hover-crafts, fans, mini wind turbines, and other inventions.
Do you need a hub that mounts directly to a dowel? Try our Mini Hub Assembly (Green) - Dowel Mount.
