@mommysgurlalways I'm glad you like it. I used an everyday plastic bottle and a small DC motor. I think in the first few seconds it's visible how it was created.

Hi very nice what glue did you use for that? you should get a stepper motor for it! good luck(:

It's called "Pattex Montage Super Fix", it isn't a very special one. Thx.

Will adding another blade or Increasing the area of the blades produce more rotation?

you don't even have to use glue.

if you cut the bottom of the bottle, subdivide into odd number lateral sections up to about 5cm from the neck, then trim the ends and roots of the sections, bend them until they're horizontal.

you'll end with nicely formed little wind turbine.
