Halloween Projects
#PrintedKIts and #STEAMjunk projects
Tis the season to be spooky! Here are a couple more seasonal projects you might like to try. Starting with this homopolar ghost
This curious project uses a single AA battery and a magnet to make the paper ghost slowly circle. Using the power of magnets the super simple homopolar motor makes the ghost flit through the air “Woooo!” The project comes as a downloadable pdf with printable parts and instructions
.You’ll need various bits and pieces to complete the project…
It’s a fun little project, a sort of mix between science and spookiness. If you are a paid subscriber to this newsletter you will find the file ready to download at the end of this page. Thank you for your support! Alternatively you can download the pdf from the website here where robives.com members can download the file for free and non-members can join in the fun for £5 or equivalent.
If you prefer pre-printed projects check out the Frankie project, one of sixteen of my designs printed by Go On Make Me.
The kit comes as a pre-printed booklet with all the parts ready for you to cut out and make. Check out their other printed kits while you are there!
Driven by a cam and reduction gear the project is a fun introduction to the world of paper engineering. Crank the handle and the paper gears and cams make Frankie shamble.
