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).

Knex Costumes and Accesories: Sword

Simple build today: a sword. It's a basic sword that I am sure most of my familiar-to-Knex readers have made before (at least in some similar manner). However, for those of you not so seasoned in K'nex building, you can learn how to build a nice, sturdy sword to complement your costume!
