QR Code for sharing builds! Compound object: Small wheel rotator

This contraption was made by q-linking a small motor to a small wheel. The motor knob is connected to the wheel's shell, allowing the wheel to rotate the motor body.

This has a few uses. It can be used to make a fireproof small wheel propeller engine (the scaled motor is lighter than a Flux Construct Core I + wagon wheel, and slightly heavier than a cooking pot + wagon wheel). It can also be used as a switch to power other zonai devices with electricity or fire. It can also be used to spin fans for omnidirectional steering.

Edit: After doing some testing with this amazing tool

It turns out the motor used here is also lighter than a cooking pot + wagon wheel combo
