hey guys!
I actually started this project two years ago when I was tinkering with a solar motor kit. I crudely hung it with some plastic pipes and attached small popsicle sticks (squared ends) for blades. Since then, I've been working on a better scale model with larger blades and a better hangar. The new pipe and hangar are ready. My problem is finding a suitable hub for the fan blades. The blades will be made of large popsicle sticks, which will be squared, sanded, stained, and lacquered. I don't know if I should have a fixed pitch, or have an adaptaire design, having four studs with fitters that'll allow the blade to flip. The reason Im using solar power is the motor won't spin too fast and will run smoothly, also it's free electricity. this is a funny question but is there anyone who can fashion this hub for me if I sent the motor? I didnt know how difficult this was. Lemme know what you think of this project and yes I was very bored that day! ;D
Thanks,
Trevor
