You know how you sometimes get a strong desire to attach things to your vehicle dashboard with cheap double sided tape?
Solar powered things that have a chemical disk in them with a nondescript aroma?
And when the sun shines on it, it starts spinning and vibrating at high speed while you're trying to concentrate on the road?
Well here it is. You're welcome.
eBay search keywords are solar power car aroma.
On a plus note, it does have a nice solar panel and motor, although it would probably be cheaper to buy them individually.

That thing reminds me of those early Superman movies where Zod and his gang were held in those twin hula hoop things that spun like that.

It's not like that'll be distracting as you drive along. Probably best left on a windowsill for a cat to play with. 😄👍

The fact that light from an led keychain was enough to get the motor spinning so fast with such a small solar panel is pretty astounding honestly. Like how much power would that little LED use and how much of it would be transferred to the panel in order to get it to spin so fast and with probably a fair amount of mass.

The first thing that came to mind for me was the general Zod trial scene in Superman II (1980) as there are 2 containment circles spinning around Zod and his accomplices. 😁

Isesam owe you a great gratitude for using their spudger. I've bought a few, highly recommend.

"that's probably the first mistake", "smell of unknown origin" ... if only product advertisements would be as honest and useful as Clive's channel...

The first time I remember seeing the two ring effect shown here was one of the Superman movies. I think it was Superman II. The one where Zod comes to town.

"It smells like chemical"

That actually seemed like a decent little solar panel for other uses, and since it was so easy to get off this is most certainly a recommendation for any hobbyist looking to make day-time autonomous gadgets.

From the title, I thought it was a device that would emit the aroma of a solar powered car.

I bet the scent disc is so strong, that the scent will seep through the seams and still make its way into the car. In fact, by putting the disc in that closed off space it probably makes the scent in the car much more pleasant and tolerable

The label on the foil packet seems to indicate "cologne"

From the title I thought it meant it would make my car smell like it was solar-powered, but dammit no.

They actually have one of these that IS a helicopter. I got one for Christmas. Its novel watching it fire up on the way to work every morning.

Holy crap I was not expecting it to spin that fast just from the light of a little pocket torch!

Yea, I would repurpose that in a heartbeat. Thanks for sharing, Clive! You are an inspiration to all who tune in!

💡 Put a resistor in series between the motor and the solar panel to slow it down. This way you can get a (nice) decoration piece. Also, you don't need to add that aromatic thing into the bottom, of course. 😉

So many uses.

Neat idea to fix the rotor and have the rest of the motor rotate - a bit like a rotary airplane engine! I was obliged to buy one due to your video, if only to mount a rotating ‘toy’ in the window! Hope the neighbours are impressed - if not I can blame you :-)
