In 1890, the United States produced a toy electric fan with a diameter of 4 cm.


In 1896, an electric toy train was also made. It could run in circles on a circular track with a diameter of 30 cm. The initial structure of electric toys was very simple, just directly connecting the motor shaft to the edge of the toy's wheels, driving the wheels to rotate through friction. Later, the structure became increasingly complex.
