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!
+Natural Nerd WHAT THE F**K 18 HOURS AGO???
CZcams FUCKED UP AGIN :)))
+Snowballs25687 I must be a wizard of some sort...
Natural Nerd all hail teh space wizhard
+Snowballs25687 His patreon supporters get his videos earlier, just like Vessel but through CZcams 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.
the best part of your channel is that,everything looks so neat and clean.....great work man!!
i like the balancing by accident :)
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
Great build! I was surprised at the end to see the fan was still a fan even. Very cool.
Another great video. Please never stop making these videos. Thanks.

Underrated comment
1 year on, still the best comment here
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.
Andrew Humphreys Yes, tanks
Caio Poit
No Probcum!
This was the most creative project I have seen in a long time!
Nice!
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.
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!
dude... that idea with the magnet is brilliant! Keep up the awesome content...
What An Glowing & Fascinating Fan it is
I love it when you say "pretty simple." :)
You are like the DIY master. Many props
+TDhoedo Thanks mate
Just discovered your channel, gotta say this is amazing
Very nice! Happy Easter to you!!
ThankYou , you were my inspiration for my new channel!!! Love Your Videos !
Nicely done! I will be trying this on an old fan.
Making a POV never looked so Great, Scott.
+Kenneth Tan Thanks mate ;-)
Awesome video! U always do a hard work of coming out with some nice project every week .
Salute to u. Greetings from INDIA :-)
I like how you put the blades back on at the end so you can still use it as a fan
bro you are truely genius.
I wish if I had an awesome brain like you.
massive respect.
your videos are so awesome and inspiring make me wanna keep learning. this stuff is so cool. keep up the good work man!
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
Wow you are a smart dude . Love your videos.
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.
I'll be honest, i can't really understand how it works so i just watched it to see how creative this was.
what acool video man! congrats! greatings from mexico!
+Esteban Cervantes Thanks mate ;-)
No pensé encontrar a paisanos por aquí. c:
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.
Awesome man. Another GreatScott video :)
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
Congrats on the new scope!
thats very interesting projects..keep going .....big thumbs up for you....
Man, I've seen all your videos, and I think that every proyect is cooler than the last one :D Greatings from Colombia! :D
Great video,you explained every think perfectly
This is a very useful video man! Thanks for posting!
That's cool. Happy thanksgiving
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 CZcams 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
what a genius! wish i could have all that talent, it will be so great for all my ideas.
Man your videos are so entertaining to watch
Keep up the good work;)
Awesome Video! I love this project and would love to make it my self! the hype!
That was awesome my friend.
Great Scott, you are brilliant
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
WOW, that's so cool! I think i'm going to try it in the future :D
Nice video👍 Great job you extract the secret😁
You rock, Scott!
Great Scott, Great Videos!
This was a very clever project. I have to try this out some time!
love your videos always great content, cheers from canada
I actually always wanted to make one of these :) Thanks for the tutorial
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!
+Greatscott! Great stuff! Really awesome how simplified.
Cool vid! I think you like the technical terms, so here's another one you might like: aliasing.
I love how you say "rapid-ly"
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 laughed at the part where you balanced it by accident. That was pretty awesome!
The whole time I was thinking nope, nope, nope... And then. Ooh. A U18 sensor. Legit! Great vid man!
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
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!
op

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
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.
A million dollar business idea...!!
BTW your voice is so sweet
really u r awesome bro u r project all helping me lot for my engineering study's keep doing and keep rocking
This was amazing, thanks man :)
"sounds exciting right?..... well not really" hahaha I just love your accent bro keep it up!!
I don't understand anything you said but I still love to watch! lol
maan you are an expert at this stuff i wish i can learn it
very cool Mr Scott
Awesome work ! Congrat :)
great video as usual 👍
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!!!
Great idea ! And simple. Thank"s a lot !
I am from Colombia and I think your video is great thanks
You're welcome ;-)
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.
For your to-do list: a cycloconverter using triacs or thyristors. A cycloconverter lowers the AC frequency.
That's heavy doc!!
goes all in my head.
great job... kudos man
Dude you are just great!!
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
you are my favorite youtuber
This is really cool....
Lefthanded genius!
Класс! Канал отличный, МОЛОДЦЫ!!!
I really like your video!!!
Great job! You could add an ESP8266 to read the time from an NTC server, and display the time on the POV!
Man, you rock awsomeness
bro you are smart.........i have know idea what you are talking about except for led's but this cool
Good Job !!
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)
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.
This is awesome! You should try it with an 8x1 WS2812 led stick!
I cannot understand that tech talk.
Wow, they have pritt in Germany, cool we also have it here in south Africa

Scott- using Scissors to cut it out
me- INTERESTING!!
Awesome,and i was wondering how to make it!
