In these pictures, we see a creative and fun way to make a small wind-powered fan using simple tools and materials.
It’s a great project for anyone who enjoys building things at home.
Materials You Need

- A wooden stand (made of two pieces of wood)
- A large screw to act as the fan’s axle
- Two small metal wheels (as pulleys)
- Rubber bands
- A fan blade (or anything similar)
Setting Up the Base
First, attach the two wooden pieces together to form a strong base.
Then, screw in the large axle screw to hold the fan blades.

Add two small wheels near the middle of the base to guide the rubber bands.
Adding the Rubber Bands
Wrap the rubber bands around the screws and the metal wheels.
This creates tension and allows the fan blades to spin when the rubber bands are moved or released.

Making the Fan Spin
Once everything is tight and secure, spin the fan blade gently with your hand.

The rubber bands will help keep it moving smoothly. This is powered just by your hand and wind – no electricity!
Enjoy the Breeze

Now you can enjoy your own handmade fan. It’s simple, eco-friendly, and fun to make.
This life hack shows how everyday items can be turned into something useful. Try it out and feel the cool wind!
