Mini Tornado Maker

Hello creative minds.

Welcome back again with an amazing project. Just wanted to make something cool, functional ,creative and mainly with everyday items so that anyone can make it.

Let's build this fun project.

Materials needed are :

Old Edison Bulb

Cutter

Glue gun

Glue bottle

Trophy [for the base]

Teflon Tape

Insulation Tape

Soldering iron

Scissors

Pen refill

razor blade

Electronic Components :

DC Motor

LM 317

LEDs

Wires

50 Volt 1000uF*2

50 Volt 10uF

5K Ohm Potentiometer.

104 Ceramic capacitor

220 ohm resistor

SWITCH

1N007 Diode*2

9 volt battery

PCB Board

Firstly remove the filament wires and stem from the bulb .

You can remove it by tapping gently the black portion of the base with a sharp object[ screw drivers, knife...].

Don't make the same mistake I did, please be careful while breaking the bulb or you would end up with a wounded finger.

I used an empty glue bottle to cover it's base. It should be noted that the taken bottle should offer a tight fit.

I also used a Teflon tape to ensure a perfect seal.

I just used the base of a trophy as the stand. Just refined it and made slots for switch and the potentiometer.

You guys could make stand of your choice. Just unleash your creative mind...

Just solder everything with reference to the circuit diagram.

Additionally I also added an led and a switch. Solder the led as shown in the last image. The led will add a nice touch to our device. I have chosen red led as it gives the tornado a fiery appearance.

AKA "The Fire Tornado"

Cut a small section from the pen refill and a razor blade as shown in the pictures. Now glue the parts to make the impeller. Now attach the impeller to the motor shaft. I also soldered the LEDs and the wires to the motor. Foam board is used to hold the led in place. You can also use insulation tape to hold the LEDs in place. Now place the wires of the motor through the seal cap which we have made in step 1.

Using glue gun attach the seal cap to the stand. Now assemble everything in place. Now pour water into the bulb and screw it in place as shown in the image.

Switch ON your device VOILA...! Enjoy the visual effects...
