Process:
Step #1
We disassembled the table lamp to get the pieces we needed.
Step #2
We took a closer look at the battery connection to see how to convert it to the rechargeable battery.
Step #3
We attached the solar panel to the diode then to the rechargeable battery with wires.
Step #4
We attached the wires to the negative and positive charges onto the battery and then we connected the 9v Battery snap onto the switch.
Step #5
From the switch we connected the wires onto the motor.
Step #6
We then attached the motor with electrical/duct tape to the top of our fixture.
Step #7
Next we drilled a hole in the base of our fixture for the LED diode and duct taped it into the fixture.
Step #8
After the wires were connected we drew our fan blades out on a piece of plastic from a used coffee lid and then cut it out and bent it to shape and attached it to the motor.
Step #9
After that, we put a weight in the bottom and screwed it all back together.
