Got these cassettes for a dollar at a library book sale. I ran the text on the case through Google Translate and it appears to be some sort of long presentation about marriage advice. The contents are exceptionally boring, it consists 10 hours of someone talking. I may upload the contents to the Internet Archive just in case somebody wants it, but I'll probably record over them after that.

Built a homemade lens from construction paper and a random glass lens I had laying around.
Check out an album of some photos I took with it!

Made improvements to the Danger Fan, mainly a proper drive belt instead of a rubber band, and the addition of some 3-in-1 oil to combat the "stiction" that affects LEGO pieces at high speeds.
I can actually get some really high RPMs now and the airflow is pretty good.
This device is the result of me trying to build a portable battery powered fan. I'm probably going to be using a Milwaukee 18 volt battery to power it.
I call it the "Danger Fan" because it has a completely exposed blade at the moment. Also, the previous blade design was prone to flying off.
I'm planning to add a proper metal fan blade directly to the motor, but I don't have one, so this will have to do for now. Still, this belt drive setup actually works pretty well.
Obviously, when this is finished, it will have a proper case.
