I seriously think you can't use LEGO parts to make a propeller. It needs • an
airofoile shape, like an airplane wing. It needs to be thick towards one • edge
and thinn down on both sides.

it is true but you know toys sometimes don't have real propellers
and work fine


You can only get so efficient with just a plate.

Is the <set:8855> propeller shaped correctly?

it seems to be profiled (shaped) but is it really calculated propeller???)
who knows :)

is someone educated enough :) to calculate
gearing which could be best in terms of RPM and power
some kind of table could be helpfull
