      It was so refreshing to see a video with a clear and direct title. In 2026 this would have been &quot;We cracked open a motor. You won&#x27;t believe what we found inside! &lt;emoji&gt;&quot;. Checking the channel, it seems they have succumbed to this for their latest videos.

        That is such a good idea! Do people sell these as an actual product?

          Yes. Most (even cheap-ish) greenhouse kits come with them, at least the ones I&#x27;ve seen around here.
