•Get a plastic/paper/styrofoam cup or clear plastic
bottle (not included) that is about the size of the
green fan, and have an adult to cut o the bottom.
(You can also use a large sheet of paper
(such as 11” x 17”) shaped into a funnel.)
•Place the cup/bottle over the green fan with the
larger opening on top (away from the fan)
•Turn on the slide switch (S1)
•Drop the foam ball in. The air blown upwards by the fan makes the ball spin
and rise in the cup/bottle.

Adult Supervision: Because children’s abilities vary so much, even with age groups, adults should exercise discretion as to which experiments are suitable and safe (the instructions should
enable supervising adults to establish the experiment’s suitability for the child). Make sure your child reads and follows all of the relevant instructions and safety procedures, and keeps them at
hand for reference. This product is intended for use by adults and children who have attained sufcient maturity to read and follow directions and warnings.
WARNING: Always check your wiring before turning on a
circuit. Never leave a circuit unattended while the batteries
are installed. Never connect additional batteries or any other
power sources to your circuits.
This instruction manual must be retained since it

Project 5: Spin Draw
•Using the fan as a guide, draw a circle on a piece of cardboard or paper.
•Cut the circle out with scissors and tape it to the fan blade so it can be
easily removed later.
•Obtain some thin and thick marking pens to use as drawing tools.
•Spin the paper by turning on the switch (S1).
•Gently press the marker on the paper to form rings.
To make spiral drawings, move the marker from the inside outward quickly
(this is easier when the motor is slowing down after being turned o).
Change the colors often and avoid using too much black to get hypnotic
eects. Another method is to make colorful shapes on the disc then spin the
disc and watch them blend into each other.
ADULT ASSISTANCE REQUIRED
Get an adult to help you pry the
motor top off the motor shaft using
a screwdriver or a 2-snap wire, then push
the green fan on the motor shaft.

Project 3: Ball Launcher
•Turn on the switch (S1).
•Make a small ramp with your
hand or other material, position
the ramp so it points to
between the rollers.
•Let one of the foam balls
roll down the ramp until it
catches and launches.

Foam Ball

Why does the ball levitate?
When the air from the fan gets strong enough, it pushes
against the ball and makes it rise. When the cup or bottle gets
wider at the top, the air from the fan spreads out and the air
pressure is reduced, causing the ball to oat in the air. The fan
spins in a circular motion, so the air blown upward also has some
circular motion, which causes the ball to spin.
