Best blades

Explorers (Foundation), mission E6 Wind & Spin, lesson 3 of 6.

Hook

Big sails or small sails? Two blades or four? Let’s find the best!

Fair test

Change only the sail size. Count spins in 5 seconds with the same fan.

Bonus challenge

Try a silly shape, like a star or a heart. Does it still work?

The build
