I have rebuilt a stock spree to have a put put scooter to save me on gas... I have all the parts I need save one, a cooling fan for a 1984 nq50 motor. So, I thought I could make it out of a coffee can. This is what it looks like.

Maybe this will work.

Please show follow-up pics on what happens when it flies apart and throws shrapnel all over. Hopefully, the rider doesnt get injured during this.

That thing might work fine as a fart fan in your bathroom or maybe to cool your desktop computer but wont hold up when spun 7000 rpms on your scooter....nice artwork piece tho!

Greetings:

Meatball's objections notwithstanding, I cannot begin to understand the detail, care and attention that went into crafting that can into something useful. Whoa! Creole Roast may not be the right choice; consider Espresso?

I wonder if you could encase the metal in some kind of resin, Plasti-Dip or ?? to strengthen it. Do be careful when you fire it up. I'd bet there's an NQ fan sitting on someone's shelves on here somewhere.
