Building a small electric model windmill

Asked by aaron_karp in Hardware Components, Math & Science Questions, Digital Living Hardware

Tags: windmill, model, electric, small

I'm trying to build a small electric windmill model out of cardboard. The blades are 8" long, giving the wheel approximately a 16" diameter. Relatively heavy cardboard.

Can anyone give me some very very basic instructions on how to choose a small electric motor, solar cell, and on/off switch? Links to products would be useful, as well as a detailed description of how to connect all the parts.

One crucial element is that wheel has to turn slowly. Perhaps one rotation every 3 seconds. How can I throttle this? Start Free Trial
