How to make a simple electric carousel toy

I have several designs for making electric roundabout/carousels in primary schools. This is the simplest and I run D&T workshops to make them with Yr5/6 regularly. It still spins too fast - it really needs a second pair of pulleys to slow it down further if it is to avoid the attention of the toy Health & Safety police!
I can just about get 30 (undecorated) carousels working in 90 minutes.
There is plenty of scope for decorating the finished toy after I've gone and inspiration can be found by Googling images of 'Fairground Rides', 'Victorian Fairgrounds' etc..
This design is available as a classpack and I can also supply a slightly more complicated version with 2 pairs of pulleys as a kit.
See my website at www.slstc.southwarklea.org.uk for further details.

It's an amazing idea, but it's kinda spinning too fast for a carousel... Anyways, good job!!

@MzNotImpressed 7 лет назад

Thanks for your tutorial, if there is a way to slow it down a bit? But it's perfect!

Can you please make a list of materials? I would love it if you could.

To change the speed, change the size of the pulleys (wheels). Either make the one on the motor larger, or make the one on the carousel smaller.

🔴 What Is Islam? ⚠️ 🔴 Islam is not just another religion. 🔵 It is the same message preached by Moses, Jesus and Abraham. 🔴 Islam literally means ‘submission to God’ and it teaches us to have a direct relationship with God. 🔵 It reminds us that since God created us, no one should be worshipped except God alone. 🔴 It also teaches that God is nothing like a human being or like anything that we can imagine. 🌍 The concept of God is summarized in the Quran as: 📖 { “Say, He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He does not give birth, nor was He born, and there is nothing like Him.”} (Quran 112:1-4)[4] 📚 🔴 Becoming a Muslim is not turning your back to Jesus. 🔵 Rather it’s going back to the original teachings of Jesus and obeying him.

Hi, really cool project. Thank u. I need to ask that:How can rotate slower motor? (50% slower than your project) I would be grateful if you would answer

@iShming 9 лет назад

Erkan Yesilkan I think you could do double gearing. Combine the big grooved disk with a small disk and another set of rubber bands and feed that small disk to another big disk. Then the kids get an even better understanding of gearing ratios and also even place value. The ones, tens, and hundreds place.

@agelikova 7 лет назад

could you please tell me what kind of glue you are using

@under_the_teepeeparty3177 9 месяцев назад

? The pulley on the rubber band how many circles you use 2 are 3 . Do you put the rubber band in between the pulley on the straw

@maxi_patty 7 лет назад

if that were a real carousel the poor children will fly off of it and die
