Can anyone think of a use for a perfectly good ...

Make a tiny model spitfire. That will prove Brexit is a sign of the changing face of global politics. We could release thousands of them at once onto our foes. Like killer bees they could attack the fullsize Euro Fighters bring them down by sheer numbers, British temerity and sheerbloodymindedness. 'Nation of shopkeepers eh?' Take that. We already have the Queen to command them. You'll be a national hero in no time Phil.
Stand aside Nelson.

what about a windmill, you would probably have to gear down the motor, this could be done via belts and pulleys,

10" desk fan. There are no prizes for the stupidest idea. Or the best, come to that. Just seems to be a waste. The front cover got lost and the dog keeps hitting his nose on the fan blades.

Turn a new front cover?

I'm impressed with matts flying air filter, how big is it to be picked up by radar?

I made a tiny triple sander out of a floor-standing fan moter and I don't think they differ in power all that much.

Huge - it's attached to a spitfire.

That's a bit harsh, why not fit it with a muzzle?

Yes, why not. I have a flexible shaft for a Dremel lookalike - I could probably devise something.

Everyone is on fire tonight!

Maybe you need something to fan the flames?
