Helpfile - Lets make a CD fan blade

  • 6 years ago
I used a CD fan blade on one of my rubber band powered cars so I thought I might make a video on how to make the fan blade. \r
CD fan blades are NOT SUITABLE for high speed applications - See my notes below.\r
\r
Tools\r
-\r
Hobby Knife\r
Tea Light candle\r
Pen\r
Ruler\r
Compass\r
Thick wire or an old screwdriver that you can heat to make holes through disc\r
\r
Notes: \r
* Some CDs are more prone to stress frures than others.\r
* Using a hot wire to make holes is less likely to cause stress frures than drilling holes.\r
* If any cracks are visible it is safer to throw that disk away.\r
* CD fan blades are NOT SUITABLE for high speed applications\r
