Low-cost demonstrations of Newton’s Laws and action–reaction

The Fan Cart is an engaging, low-cost tool is perfect for exploring Newton’s laws of motion, inertia, acceleration, and action–reaction in a way students can see and measure. Put the sail in place and the cart stays still; remove the sail and watch it go. This simple setup sparks powerful discussions about forces and motion while delivering clear, repeatable results for classroom investigations. Fan carts are often loaded with extra features at much higher prices—but for under $20, this model makes hands-on physics accessible to every classroom.

Why Teachers Love the Fan Cart

Clear demonstrations of Newton’s Laws: Instantly show action–reaction, inertia, and acceleration in action.
Simple cause-and-effect setup: Sail-on vs. sail-off makes force concepts easy to observe and discuss.
Budget-friendly design: An inexpensive alternative to more complex fan carts with unnecessary add-ons.
