The Perils of Science

Motorized propeller beanie by Thaed

It’s long been held that “With great power comes great responsibility.”  You see, there is a reason scientists aren’t trying to find a way to make sharks fly1  Some things were just not meant to be.  Like flying dogs with motorized beanies.

Seriously though, mad props to Thaed for this cool new puppy accessory.

What self-respecting nerd wouldn't have one of these things lying around? Originally, I wanted it to be solar powered, but I had to settle for AAA batteries. I scavenged the motor and propeller from a 6 in 1 educational solar kit. There's no reason why you can't print your own propeller and use a motor from a cd player or really any motor.
