Mini DC Motor and Propeller Set – Yellow

Compact and easy to assemble, this Mini DC Motor and Propeller Set is ideal for STEM projects, hobby builds, and rapid prototyping with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other microcontroller platforms. Designed for simplicity and performance, it runs from 1.5–3 V DC (1 or 2 AA batteries) and includes a high-speed motor with a matching three-blade propeller. Perfect for learning motor control, basic aerodynamics, and integrating electronics components and modules into your projects.

Key Features ⚙️

• Plug-and-play motor and propeller pairing for quick builds
• Battery powered: operates from 1× AA (1.5 V) or 2× AA (3 V)
• High-speed DC motor for airflow and motion experiments
• Carbon-reinforced plastic propeller: lightweight and impact-resistant
• Great for Arduino/Raspberry Pi control using driver modules

What’s Included 📦

• 1 × Three-blade propeller (yellow)
• 1 × 1.5–3 V DC motor (yellow housing)

Specifications 📏

Propeller 🪁

• Type: Three-blade
• Diameter: Ø8 cm
• Shaft bore: Ø2 mm (compatible with motor shaft)
• Material: Carbon-reinforced plastic
• Properties: Lightweight, impact-resistant

DC Motor 🧭

• Operating voltage: 1.5–3 V DC
• Dimensions: Length 28 mm, Width 20 mm
• Shaft: Ø2 mm diameter, 8 mm length
• Speed: ~8,000 RPM @ 1.5 V; ~19,000 RPM @ 3 V
• Current draw: ~20–300 mA @ 1.5 V; up to ~900 mA @ 3 V (startup/stall)

Power Options 🔋

• Runs from 1× AA (1.5 V) or 2× AA (3 V) batteries
• Do not exceed 3 V to prevent motor damage

Integration with Arduino & Raspberry Pi 🧩

• Drive the motor via a transistor/MOSFET or a motor driver module (e.g., L9110S, L293D, TB6612FNG)
• Use a flyback diode and a suitably rated power source to handle inductive loads
• Control speed with PWM from your microcontroller; reverse direction by swapping polarity

Typical Applications 🚀

• STEM kits, classroom demos, and DIY electronics projects
• Mini fans, airflow experiments, and hovercraft-style prototypes
• Small RC boats/cars and robotics mechanisms
• Learning motor control with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and related electronics components

Notes & Safety ⚠️

• High RPM: keep fingers and loose items clear of the spinning propeller
• Securely mount the motor and propeller to avoid vibration
• Avoid prolonged stall conditions, especially at 3 V, due to high current draw
