Hi everyone! I am not a robotics person, but I am a puppet and prop builder. I have custom built a cardboard biplane that will look like it is on fire. I wish to design it so that the propellor of the biplane has a small battery-powered motor (so it can be puppeteered/travel easily) and so that the ‘propellor’ is actually a fan blowing air towards the tail, so that the fan blows cellophane ‘fire’ and makes it rustle. I am trying to find a battery operated motor that I can attach the fan/prop to. I had made a small model where I took apart a tiny fan. I could do that again but I am hoping I could just buy a battery motor that would work, one that can be strong enough - I would like it to somehow be lightweight with batteries in it yet also be able to spin a fan more the size of a box fan (the box fan, unattached, is extremely thin lightweight plastic and weighs practically nothing, so I figure if the dowel for it is also lightweight the motor needn’t be too strong).
Please let me know if there is a motor like this I can purchase here, or if you think I should just take apart a fan again or get a pinwheel motor or something. Thanks a lot!
