Cool Fan

Materials:

- 1.5 lt. Plastic bottles

- CD or DVD
- Used switch
- DC Motor
- Tubes (straws) for beverages
- Hot glue gun
- 9V Battery
- Cable ties

Procedures:

1. Choose the Voltage of Power Source. Choose a DC motor and the batteries to match it as the power source for the
electric fan.

2. Create the Fan Blades. Create the fan blades from a plastic soda bottle, after removing the label and cleaning the
bottle. Lay the bottle on its side and cut the bottle in half through its “equator” while keeping the bottle cap on. After
evenly cutting the bottle in half. Mark off equidistant points around the exterior of the bottle's circumference as guides
for cutting the plastic to create the blades that radiate from the bottle cap. Once the blades have been cut into strips, push
them back until they appear like fan blades or windmill blades. The blades can number three or four in total, so cut off
the excess blades, making sure the final blades are equidistant from one another. Use the scissors to round the ends of the
fan blades.

3. Build the Base and Stand. Put together the straws to make a stand. Using the cut top portion of the 2nd bottle, remove
its cap and put the straw stand inside the mouth of the bottle. Cover the base with the CD and glued it securely. Make
certain it does not move while the glue dries.

4. Prepare the Wiring of the Electric Fan. Remove the bottle cap from the fan blades and pierce a hole through its center
with a pair of scissors. This is the hole through which the pointed end of the DC motor is to pierce through. Secure the
pointed end to the bottle cap with glue. Then affix the fan blades to the bottle cap by screwing the cap back on to the
neck of the bottle. Next work on the wiring of the stand. Recall that the other end of the motor has wires dangling from it.
Take those wires and lace them through the center of the straw stand so that they dangle from the bottom of the base. On
the top of the stand, glue the motor to the stand to secure it with cable ties.

5. Assemble the Switch. Connect the wires at the bottom of the base to a switch. Wire the switch to the battery power
source. The switch turns the DC-powered motor on to start the electric fan blades moving.
