Maria asks…
What is this toy called? It’s a stupid thing, I can’t remember though! Ten easy points!!!?
it’s like a little toy windmill that kids blow on or blow into. It spins faster the harder you blow on it…here’s a good picture of it..

Betty asks…
where can i buy / how do i make a simple motor?
So i have decided i want to build a weapon from a game. Its not to difficult since it’s a windmill but the blades rotate and i have no idea how to make a motor that could move them. It doesn’t need to go very fast as long as it rotates the blades im good. i was thinking of maybe just buying a small fan and taking it apart but i have no idea how i would do that. so what would be the best thing to do?
here is a picture of what im trying to build if it helps.

Laura asks…
Hoplessly fearful of THEM!?
http://www.hickerphoto.com/data/media/25/cap_chat_windmills_T1073.jpg
I have such a bad fear of these things that If I think of them too much I cry.
Anyone know what I should do? They’re popping up everywhere and I’m afraid I’m going to end up in petrified catatonic state!
When I see them I have to curl up and scream.
(no exaggeration here people, my friends have fun with this one)
Any suggestions? (and DON”T say go stand under one……v-v-v-veeehhh…..enough talking about them)
p.s
I didn’t look at the picture to post it, I couldn’t, thinking about them being on my screen scares me, (google images (clicked blindly, Ctrl+L, Ctrl+X, Ctrl+W, and paste…please tell me if its actually one of them…
eeeggghhh…OK, now thats enough, I’m going to curl up in a ball now….
I was waiting to cross a busy road when a Truck drove by with one of the propellers!
I almost died. It was so close to me.
I don’t know If I could handle GOING to a field…maybe pictures first…
oh yes, I do believe Don Quixote picked a fight with Dutch style windmills. Not these awful THINGS…..

Wind power is the new thing, so you’re going to have to get this under control. They are putting up these towers in my town right now, and they have the parts for them sitting in this huge field just down the road. I would encourage you to visit one of these fields so that you can see the parts.
The tower portion is assembled in sections and they are these huge hollow pieces about 40 feet long. They are big enough to drive a truck through, and up close they don’t look like a tower at all.
The blades are so big that they are barely identifiable up close, and they don’t look the least bit graceful or dangerous. Just more big tube-shaped things with flat sides.
Seeing them up close might take some of the fear out of them, help to desensitize you.
They do look like big bugs or aliens, so the fear doesn’t seem that odd to me, I’m sure you share it with others.
This is an anxiety disorder, so if you can’t find a way to gradually desensitize yourself you might want to see your Dr. For some meds and a referral to a therapist who specializes in this type of thing. This is a very treatable anxiety/fear, so I’m certain you’ll be fine!
