Alright you need the following materials for this experiment
- A piece of cartridge paper
- A pencil
- Scissors
- A drawing pin
- A small stick
- Cut the cartridge paper as shown in the picture
- Fold the parts shaded in the picture
- Fix the centre of the wheel to the stick with the drawing pin
- Make sure that the wheel spins freely.
- Hold it so that the wind catches it
The wheel spins fast
Because
As the air strikes the card, it is gathered up towards it, but it is stopped at each of the four corners. The thrust of the wind against the four corners pushes the wheel around.
Windmills and wind machines in a farm work in the same way.
