Knex Box Fan

As we approach summer and temperatures increase, I decided to create a motorized box fan. It's small, light, and fairly functional. However, I am planning on placing either paper or some sort of other material on the fan blades to create a greater breeze. I will try and post a video up of it soon!

Here's the front view

I attached the motor so that it is turning the rod that is bound to the large, yellow gear. As you might imagine, the gear does have its work cut out for it as it is turning the fan blades at a quick pace. However, this motor seems better-equipped for it than the two-part motor (the red and clear one that I use to run the Ferris Wheel).

Christmas with Knex: Lighted Christmas Box

I had so much fun with today's build! It was super easy, and I think it turned out fantastic! Who says you have to pay an arm and a leg for cool Christmas decor? More to come!

The "skeleton" for my lighted gift box

It doesn't look like a gift without a bow, right?

Then I just wrapped a strand of 50 lights around it.

 It looks pretty cool!

If you have any more ideas for knex builds, please let me know!
