OK you might be thinking can I count? Well yes because Propeller Bot V3 is a highly classified fast racer type bot. Well this robot is slower than V3 and is different in many different ways. It is able to cruise faster than V2 and has a 4 blade. An 8 blade propeller would not be likely made.
Non-LEGO pieces: Propeller
BTW The thing the minifig is holding is the light torch used by ground crews to direct airplanes.
Update: I was unable to load the high quality video here (6 mb) so I uploaded it to Box.net so you just need one extra mouse click. Download it here

Lol nice touch with the Minifigure.

What gear ratio did you get?

Air

40>8-20>12 so um every 1 rotation I get 8.33333333333 rotations on the output shaft in a frictionless enviorment. With the resistance of air hitting the blade it might be slower.

OK I did a long wait but I will upload a video in a few minutes. It has a longer fast speed range. Saddly it only has 2 videos, one from a first person veiw and one from a 3rd person.
