My project is about making a fan that does not use or require electricity to move. I chose this project because I always wanted to make a perpetual motion machine, but one you can use to help. In conclusion, my fan worked well after many different phases of working out kinks along the way. My project is important because it helps to solve problems with people not being able to keep cool in Arizona heat. People would benefit from the money saved on electricity too.

You showed impressive persistence and creativity by continuously improving your fan design through multiple prototypes and modifications. I especially appreciated how you documented each change and explained what worked and what did not. Rebuilding after the axle broke shows real engineering perseverance and problem solving.
What stood out most was your willingness to learn from failure and keep improving your design. You approached this challenge like an engineer by testing ideas, identifying problems, and trying new solutions. That mindset is one of the most valuable skills in engineering and science.
