Description

DIY Mini Drone Kit, Science Buddies - How does a drone fly? Does weight affect a drone's speed? This kit includes materials for building your very own mini popsicle stick drone. Start with a simple design and then add features like hovering to this zippy little flyer. Your drone is a quadcopter, because it flies using four propellers. The propellers are driven by spinning motors - two that rotate clockwise and two that rotate counterclockwise. The motors are powered by a battery pack that completes the electrical circuit. Follow these Project Idea instructions Build a Simple Drone and Test How Much It Can Lift to build and test your drone with a soft, foam cushion to land on. Have a 3D printer?. Visit this Science Buddies 3D Print a Drone Frame Science Project link. We include all the necessary materials to help your project lift off. However, a few household items will also be needed, including scissors, a hot glue gun and glue sticks, and a ruler. We have already stripped the wires to save you time. This kit can be used for your next science fair project, or as an engaging DIY project at home. Instructions are NOT included with the kit, but are available online from Science Buddies. Each kit includes: 2 popsicle sticks; 4 motors (two rotate clockwise and two rotate counterclockwise); 2 Plastic propellers, clockwise; 2 plastic propellers, counterclockwise; 2 30 AWG stranded wire, 1 m assorted colors; Electrical tape; 4 AA batteries, alkaline; Straw, clear plastic; 2 dowels, 3/16"; Wood base; Breadboard, 400 point, solderless, plug in; Transistor, MOSFET N Channel, TO-200; Potentiometer, 10 k?; Black jumper wire, 22 AWG, 2"; 2 black jumper wires, 22 AWG, 1/2"; Red jumper wire, 22 AWG, 1/2"; Jumper wire, 22 gauge, 50 mm; Jumper wire, 22 AWG, 1"; Battery holder for AA cells, 4x AA; Foam ball, 2" diameter; Foam padding; | DIY Mini Drone Kit, Science Buddies.
