Variable Speed Oscillating Fan DIY Kit

This variable speed oscillating fan DIY kit lets you build a working fan and find out what makes it tick. Putting it together gives a practical feel for blade dynamics and airflow, as well as the mechanics that let a fan change speed and oscillate.

Key features

• Builds a functional fan
• Variable speed
• Oscillating motion
• Introduces blade dynamics and airflow principles

Fans are something everyone uses, which makes this a relatable project: once you have built one, you start to notice the same parts and principles in the machines around you. Trying the different speeds is a simple way to see how airflow changes with blade speed. Suited to budding engineers, hobbyists and anyone curious about how everyday machines work.
