So our original plan to deconstruct a VCR and extract the motor has... uh... failed but only slightly. after a greuling doubel period of trying to get the metal thing off of the motor, we haven't really reached any conclusions; we're still trying to figure out how we can possibly incorporate this into our final model. We're still throwing around ideas for the prototype... we've decided on regular plastic (or wood) fanblades for the final deal... although the question of horizontal blades versus vertical is still sort of more or less being debated. the math equations are in the works, and jill has designed prototype blades out of stiff gold-ish material just to, uh, get the "curvature" of the blade to make it more real.
that's where we are -- updates soon!
