• 1 × 3‑blade Propeller

🧰 Integration Tips (Arduino/Raspberry Pi)

Control this motor from an Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or other microcontroller using a suitable driver module (e.g., TB6612FNG, L9110S, or L298N) or a transistor with a flyback diode. Use PWM for speed control, and ensure your driver can supply at least the rated current.

⚠️ Usage Notes

• Ideal for small experiments, mini fans, and simple generator/demonstration setups.
• Speed and current draw vary with voltage, load, and battery condition.
• Avoid stalling the motor—stall conditions can cause high current and heat.
• Observe correct polarity and secure the propeller before use. Keep clear of spinning blades.
