I balanced it, by accident. :) Welcome to science.
BURNED!
LMAO
Matej Velican that's called a 1 axis gyroscope.
KingOf TheCreepers You don't get it, do you?
Matej Velican it is a joke :)
Really cool, and it didn't seem too complicated either. Thanks!

+Snowballs25687 His patreon supporters get his videos earlier, just like Vessel but through UA-cam with private links and such :)
Great Scott I've watched so many of your videos, and thought you should know you're super awesome! I love how you explain everything clearly, I've learned a lot from you. Some time soon I'll have to donate to your cause, thank you for all that you do.
i like the balancing by accident :)
accidentally fixing vibration problems, how on earth!
+Michael Flatman BAHAHAH, Good heavens, Your profile picture with that comment, Killed me
+Michael Flatman He fix it by accident by adding some stuff on the plywood. The said led, battery and other stuff has weight that fixes the balance of the plywood.
Flatman , with profile picture as airplane ahahha 😂😂😂 NICE!
This channel is so damn good. Congratulations
It is spelled damn.

Underrated comment
1 year on, still the best comment here
your accent is pleasant, to me and your English is perfectly clear and crisp. I think it gives your videos a unique touch that brings things to life. Thank you for your videos.- A Midwesterner
I am a big FAN of this project, it looks really LIT and quite SHOCKING
Why? Commenting that....
Hey that's a good soldering tip right there 3:36 to put heat from the iron onto the long leads of the resistor as you're putting them up through the holes.
Great build! I was surprised at the end to see the fan was still a fan even. Very cool.
You could also set up two of them on each side of the propeller with just different LED-s, so you can make a clock illumnator with differently colored pointers and numbers or an image illuminator like this one
If I wasn't broke.. and 14... I'd help you out on Patreon...
Shiva Rampersaud lol same😂
Ravindra Ramharack yeah.....
just the same as me, except I am 13
Bruh. We da same. Exept diffrent countries.
in fact, I am also in a different country, I am from Spain
Woow, nice job. I always wanted to do something like that. next project xD cheers my friend. saludos
Proyectos LED hace un tutorial, lo quiero poder entender xd
@@MaxiLuk pon los subtítulos en español y ya, como modula muy bien UA-cam lo entiende perfectamente y a mí siempre me lo da perfecto como es, es más, yo hice los subtítulos en español del vídeo de Bluetooth Low Energy, solo con el auto completado del traductor, estaba todo perfecto, te recomiendo usarlos :)
@@agussp6731 man, es de hace 3 años ese comentario, dudo que lo lea
@@MaxiLuk JAJSJAJS mal, pero bue capaz a alguien le sirve
the best part of your channel is that,everything looks so neat and clean.....great work man!!
Making a POV never looked so Great, Scott.
+Kenneth Tan Thanks mate ;-)
Hey! I'm not bad in english, but in the most case, I can't translate video without subtitles, but you voice is so clear, in a good quality ! I can translate and understand your videos ! Thank you. Good continue!

Here is the correct way to say what you said: Hey! I’m not bad at English, but in most cases I can’t translate video without subtitles, but your voice is so clear and good quality! I can translate and understand your videos! Thank you. Please continue
what acool video man! congrats! greatings from mexico!
+Esteban Cervantes Thanks mate ;-)
No pensé encontrar a paisanos por aquí. c:
Theres only 1 thing I would change on this design, and that's to add 2 washers and little metal brushes to bypass the battery, then you could modify the mains cord and put a 5v power supply on it, connect it to the brushes and bam, whenever you plug the fan in, the LEDs will turn on.
This was the most creative project I have seen in a long time!
Nice!
I love it when you say "pretty simple." :)
I like how you put the blades back on at the end so you can still use it as a fan
It's probably better suited to do propeller POV displays using rotatory encoders or step-by-step/servo motors since you don't have to track RPM or have the kind of problems you found in this build. It also allows you to have control of where you want the text to show at any time instead of it just spinning around.
You are SO cool! Don't ever quit, your channel is amazing. How abut doing some more esp8266 projects?
+ThatGuyMan I will think about it
+ThatGuyMan +1
dude... that idea with the magnet is brilliant! Keep up the awesome content...
You are like the DIY master. Many props
+TDhoedo Thanks mate
What An Glowing & Fascinating Fan it is
Another great video. Please never stop making these videos. Thanks.
I have been curious about these things for years. That hall effect sensor is the answer I have been looking for. Time to make my own!
Could you possibly put the circuit on the fan blades instead of the stick.
Cool vid! I think you like the technical terms, so here's another one you might like: aliasing.
Really love these less complicated projects! Keep up the awesome work!
+sized4spills Thanks mate ;-)

My Patreon supporters can see the video a bit earlier.
+GreatScott! Oh ...now everything makes sense
Nice video👍 Great job you extract the secret😁
Awesome video! U always do a hard work of coming out with some nice project every week .
Salute to u. Greetings from INDIA :-)
I can't believe you aren't a famous technology guru, you should build and mass produce these things! Like the Bluetooth speaker and this neat fan.
This is awesome! You should try it with an 8x1 WS2812 led stick!
I cannot understand that tech talk.
now all you need to do is make a coil and a capacitor to charge as it rotates, either recharge the battery on the fly, or even eliminating it completely...awesome build!!!
bro you are truely genius.
I wish if I had an awesome brain like you.
massive respect.
finally got a chance to build one with simpler tricks and parts.....waited a long for this one .. would be nice if u could expand for more leds .
I'll be honest, i can't really understand how it works so i just watched it to see how creative this was.
what a genius! wish i could have all that talent, it will be so great for all my ideas.
I laughed at the part where you balanced it by accident. That was pretty awesome!
Nice Project! Although I would have used a wireless power Transmission unit so I wouldn't need to charge the battery anymore. Probably a Future project idea? Building such a unit would be educational, pretty cheap and there are tons of good usage for it, like this project here.
I don't understand anything you said but I still love to watch! lol
A million dollar business idea...!!
BTW your voice is so sweet
The whole time I was thinking nope, nope, nope... And then. Ooh. A U18 sensor. Legit! Great vid man!
Scott u r really awesum m very much inspired from u .... ur evri video increases my knowledge more and more .... and now I m able to make my own project of my own creativity
Great project. Didn't understand half of the instructions, but thats because I'm not even close to being familiar with that kind of stuff :D I guess you instructed well - keep this cool stuff coming!
4:55 pause the video, it is impressive
i dont see a thing
+comeberza ?
Man, I've seen all your videos, and I think that every proyect is cooler than the last one :D Greatings from Colombia! :D
WOW, that's so cool! I think i'm going to try it in the future :D
Congrats on the new scope!
maan you are an expert at this stuff i wish i can learn it
2:40 Damit gewinnst du keinen Schönheitspreis. Definitiv ein klassischer Deutscher Spruch 😂
Man your videos are so entertaining to watch
Keep up the good work;)
This channel blew up quickly
david
he's a talented person

Scott- using Scissors to cut it out
me- INTERESTING!!
Wow you are a smart dude . Love your videos.
You should do a video on what somebody needs to start into electronics, what tools you use and if you recommend them (eg: what soldering iron you use)
this sence of humor though...you make a vector graphic and then you cut it out with a saw ^^
i like :D
+Komodo2555 how else could you get the right shape to cut out though?
well you could use a CNC router :)
I've never heard of that to be honest. But I'm gonna look it up. Thanks :)
Nicely done! I will be trying this on an old fan.
You need two small brushes to give it power, so you don't have to take it off to recharge. You might need a small regulator for it when the contacts make bad connections occasionally... or you could even use a coil to pick up enough power from the magnet as it passes by, rectify and filter it and you have just enough power to run all 5 LEDs.
+Aperson That's what I was thinking.. The ONLY thing wrong with this project is that it needs that battery (which is now HOT GLUED??!?! to the stick, so it can't be easily removed/replaced).. I'm wondering what it would take to either use that magnet and install a coil on the stick to either charge a supercap or battery, or use a "slipring" (www.sparkfun.com/products/13064) to get power to the spinning stick..
+172pilot: That's a nice product from sparkfun, if only that fan motor shaft could fit all the way through... Would need some kind of gear box to make it compatible. And sinse it has six wires passing through, you could connect it directly to the LEDs and have the microcontroller stationary.
u r some kind of genius. you know about electronic stuff very well awesome job buddy I wish I could do that kind of stuff
This was a very clever project. I have to try this out some time!
For your to-do list: a cycloconverter using triacs or thyristors. A cycloconverter lowers the AC frequency.
Awesome ! By the rule of "anything becomes cooler by adding LEDs" :)
What is that digital scale like tool to measure the diameter of objects?
ThankYou , you were my inspiration for my new channel!!! Love Your Videos !
Just discovered your channel, gotta say this is amazing
your videos are so awesome and inspiring make me wanna keep learning. this stuff is so cool. keep up the good work man!
I love how you say "rapid-ly"
thats very interesting projects..keep going .....big thumbs up for you....
Super. Simply super. Thank you Scott.
I dont understand how the battery is getting charged. Do you have do disassemble it from the fan or can you leave it attached (and of course have the fan furned off)?
+emailausdrucker Yes. I have to remove it from the shaft and connect the battery to my lab bench power supply. Maybe A TP4056 board could be a good alternative.
+GreatScott! thanks for clarifying. just watched it again. love your hacks.
+emailausdrucker Thanks mate ;-)
+Stellar Space Traveler oh good idea! wireless charging would be awesome for this
I simply love how you say an "s" where you don't even have to. No offense, i really like it :D
how to charge the battery when the battery and protective ic is glued
Solder a charging board with the battery.
I'm French and I try to learn English, your accent is not that perfect so I can understand pretty much everything !
I'm progressing really fast thanks to you !
English with a German accent. Sometimes surprisingly easier to understand than English from England or English from America can be.
I am from Colombia and I think your video is great thanks
You're welcome ;-)
4:40 "I balanced out the mass distribution [jump cut] by accident" that caught me off guard lol
Very nice! Happy Easter to you!!
Awesome man. Another GreatScott video :)
If you had the propeller you could put the LEDs so you are being cooled but also a cool fan :D
That's cool. Happy thanksgiving
I like how you even make a drawing to explain why the text is not statinoary. :)
Oh man, you got the Keysight beast! I hope the VAT didn't demolish your budget!
+John Grammaticus I got it from a german reseller. So no.
Awesome, can't wait for the videos pushing the limits of that one gig bandwidth!
Techmoan anyone?
Yes intro
Gytis Garry Exactly.
yes pov intro for the video
Omg lol
Yep
I was saying to myself, that is going to walk out the door there will be so much vibration, but you balanced it BY ACCIDENT xD
Richard Smith haha
Great video,you explained every think perfectly
really u r awesome bro u r project all helping me lot for my engineering study's keep doing and keep rocking
you are my favorite youtuber
Great Scott, you are brilliant
since there's a magnet , might be worth trying to charge a capacitor with a coil of wire, to run the circuit, therefor eliminating the battery all together
+voltare2amstereo One small magnet is definitly not enough though.
Wow, they have pritt in Germany, cool we also have it here in south Africa
Awesome Video! I love this project and would love to make it my self! the hype!
I actually always wanted to make one of these :) Thanks for the tutorial
Thanks man….. now I am going to have ANOTHER project to buy then forget why I bought more electronics.
What about using your x carve to carve the stick? And please do a video about your new oscilloscope😀👍
Класс! Канал отличный, МОЛОДЦЫ!!!
Is he an Electrical Engineer or something? This guy is a genius.
Enjoyed it. It would have been nice to have a portion dedicated to how to test the led & programming without actually building the blade and spinning it, if that is possible. Also, would have been nice to have you make the blade in a 3d printer, provided you had access. Expanding the concept to wifi/app update like the 'lametric' product would also be nice. Thank you for your work.
it is a genius work i like it much but its difficult to understand and hard to follow coz of little knowledge about electronics keep up the good work more videos follow
