This model consists of a single rotating beam that has an electric motor with a propeller, mounted at one end. A battery holder is on the other end of the beam and counter-balances them. The beam is mounted on an “axle” (shaft) at the beams’ centre of gravity.
When the WHIRLY is switched on, the motor spins the propeller, thus rotating the beam around its axle.
NOTE: This No-solder version has a motor and switch with wires pre-soldered to them, with twist-on connectors to join the wires.
