I have had a few requests regarding propellers for fan cars and by coincidence I found a wooden lolly stick or ice-cream spoon on the path when I was out. I steamed it and twisted it into the right shape, then fixed it onto a small electric motor and the chassis from one of my other car projects.
Here is the video I originally made the chassis for .

Here is a video where I show you how to twist the propeller. I hold it in steam and that softens it and I twist it. DANGER Please take care doing that as steam will burn your skin off, I strongly suggest adult supervision.
