G56AG - 8 years ago

I was rather shocked at 38 seconds in the video when the demonstration showed using the point of scissors pointed right into their off hand to drill the hole in the bottle cap. Since this kind of project is one that small children might attempt the disregard for common safety was stunning. I mentored a group of high school age kids in a number of projects for several years, it was shocking that nobody had ever taught them to use tools in a safe manner, they would do things like this, and other things like using an Xacto knife in a manner that any slip could result in a serious wound to their other hand or other body part. Personal safety is extremely important when using sharp tools, PLEASE review your videos for poor safety practices like this, everybody needs to use tools safely! Kids need to be taught this stuff starting as soon as they start using tools to make or repair things.

2UPRA - 8 years ago

could you use anything else then foam

2UPRA - 8 years ago

+Ray Kent ok thanks

Ray Kent - 8 years ago

+Ray Kent ps the strength of material you need depends on the pressure it needs to support, which depends on the depth of your aquarium. I reckon bike tube will easily support 1m head of water. Don't fret, it's cheap to experiment!

Ray Kent - 8 years ago

Big party balloons are made of slightly thicker rubber than smaller ones, but thinner than bike tubes, probably suitable. Others have cut bits out of rubber gloves to make a diaphragm pump like this.

2UPRA - 8 years ago

+Axelli ok thanks

Broyden Borch - 8 years ago

Bicycle tube or anything that bends and is thin

2UPRA - 8 years ago

Thomas Pigg - 8 years ago

Nice project. I'd put a diffuser/air stone (or what ever their called) on the end of the air line though. I've always been told that they help to "aireate (?)" the water better.

Ray Kent - 8 years ago

+Thomas Pigg aah, sorry to hear of your loss. I had about 20 cheaper fish that the bloke assured me would be fine in a small outdoor pond most of the year but I should bring them indoors for the winter, using the pondwater, not tapwater. Next morning, all dead. Seems that the warm up overnight was too quick for the poor little blighters.

Thomas Pigg - 8 years ago

+Ray Kent Yeah, I tried that route when my daughter was young. What a mistake that was. We managed to kill off about $300.00 worth of fish in a couple of months. I was doing everything I was suppose to, guess my "fishing thumb " wasn't as good as my "green thumb". Never again.

Ray Kent - 8 years ago

+Thomas Pigg Yep, for the same volume of air, if you break it into tiny bubbles it has a much higher surface area and will oxygenate the water more effectively (up to the limit that water will support at the given temperature). I don't know anything about tropical fish, but it seems they need quite precise care!

Thomas Pigg - 8 years ago

+HappySlappy Face What??? I apologize but I don't fully understand your comment. Yes I know fish need oxygen in their water to breathe. Sorry, but if that's what you're getting at I already know.
The reason I suggested adding an "air stone" is to break up the air bubbles that are coming from the pump. Small air bubbles diffuse in the water more rapidly than large bubbles. I have three medium size air pumps on my thirty five gallon tank. Two of them go to 3/4"X3/4"X6" long diffusers and the other is just bubbling away helping to "churn" the water. I've been told that I need to add another large air pump or at least two medium sized ones.

HappySlappyFace - 8 years ago

aireate the water means extracr oxygen in the water so fish can breath
didnt know fish need oxygen too?

Mr Useful - 8 years ago

Yes thomas, this would be a nice mod : ) thanks!

Philipp B - 8 years ago

just a small critic to all of you YouTube makers: work just a bit more professianal for example use a 4,5 Volt battery for a 4,5 Volt Motor not 9 Volts and don't hotglue it down so you can't change it...
but thanks for the idea

make a rechargeable fan ,its useful when your house black out or bring it for camping :v

Ray Kent - 8 years ago

+Willy Gaming Congratulations. I can't understand what you said, but if you've made something that works for you then great. Or maybe you're just taking the piss, I dunno. Anyway, pleasure yourself, why not?

MicinDelta - 8 years ago

+Ray Kent i already make it , i just add 4x rechargeable battery and 2x battery charger module and DC motor and some 4x 1.5 LED and white sprayed bottle andcraft and then done :D i make it from popsicle stick.#boom Portable rechargeable fan and lantern :v. BTW imagine it what your design in your mind with this material that i said :D?

Ray Kent - 8 years ago

+HappySlappy Face Yup! Sounds like you might be a fellow subscriber to Julian Ilett's channel? The usb fan I had was pretty weak, so it depends what Willy Gaming (hi!) is looking for. Trekking in Death Valley is different to feeling a bit too warm. Being an old school brit I favour the wet handkerchief on head solution...

HappySlappyFace - 8 years ago

+Ray Kent or buy a cheap laptop and take its battery unpack it and recuircuit it

Ray Kent - 8 years ago

An easy way is to buy a usb fan and a mobile phone rechargeable "emergency" battery pack. Plug one into the other. Happy camping!
