Solar Plane rotating

thingiverse

Made for fun during holidays. This plane spins with sunlight. Simply plug a solar cell into the motor and it's done. I used an affordable Chinese motor and Cell found on Ebay along with one small drone propeller also sourced via Ebay.

I used aluminium pipe external Diameter 6mm, and you'll need some screws, glue, wires in addition to the above items. Cut the pipe at your convenience, then adjust the weight inside the bomb before gluing. It's able to spin even without direct sunlight on a cloudy day. If you live in a sunny area, choose a smaller cell. I had a lot of fun building and testing this plane. The design doesn't follow anything existing; it just came into my mind. Hope you enjoy it.
