  • You're 50 years too late and your motor's too big. In 1960 William McClellan, inspired by a now-famous speech by Nobel physicist Richard Feynman about the possibilities of very small technology, built a motor 1/64" (.38mm) on a side (using only standard micromachining technology, not modern nanotech).

    Any piece of iron or (non-stainless) steel can be made into a magnet by subjecting it to a strong magnetic field, so make your own to go smaller.

  • my fan is too loud.....this one is better

  • And I tough I created the worlds smallest wooden propeller -_-
