BrightSparks Motor Fan Module [2558]

The BrightSparks Motor Fan Module is a robust, low‑inertia electric motor with an integrated fan, designed for use with solar cells and the BrightSparks 4Kids modular electronics range. It provides an engaging and visual way for students to explore how electrical energy is converted into mechanical motion.

Operating across a wide 1.5–12V DC range, this motor module is suitable for a variety of low‑voltage experiments, from simple battery‑powered circuits to renewable energy activities using solar panels. Connections are made using two polarised 4mm plug‑in sockets, ensuring correct polarity and supporting safe, reliable circuit construction.

For added stability during investigations, the module is fitted with non‑slip rubber feet, preventing movement on benches and desks. Its durable design makes it well suited to regular use in classrooms and practical learning environments.
