My granddaughter went to the Evansville Children’s Museum last week and saw something she just had to have.
It’s a simple project made from:
1 X 10 X 8 pine
1 X 6 X 8 pine
2” X 4’ PVC pipe
4 – 2” PVC Tees
1 reused squirel cage fan
The finish is white paint as a base yet to be decorated by paint and stickers by the grand kids.
Balls float above the tubes and can be stacked two high. The grand kids like to knock the balls across the room.
An added benifit is that it circulates the air better than a ceiling fan.

It’s 1/17 HP fan motor. I intend to make another bigger version using an old squirel cage fan from a forced air furnance. The HVAC guys can come up with them free to cheap.
Thanks for looking and your comments.
