In previous materials, many options for the manufacture of a variety of crackers are presented. We continue this topic by presenting you a review of a video on the manufacture of a simple alcohol cracker.
Let's start by watching the author’s video
We will need:
- a plastic bottle;
- a piece of polypropylene tube;
- a piezoelectric element from a lighter;
- two screws;
- a piece of wire;
- electrical tape
- glue gun;
- a hacksaw.
The first step is to drill two holes for the screws on the polypropylene pipe close to the edge. The holes should be the diameter of the screws used.
Now we wind the wire on the bottom of the piezoelectric element.
Insulate the wire with electrical tape.
After that, you need to screw the screws into the holes.
The ends of the wires going from the piezoelectric element are exposed and wound on screws.
We attach the piezoelectric element to the polypropylene tube between the screws using an adhesive gun. When a piezoelectric element is pressed, a spark arises between the screws.
Now we take a hacksaw and cut off the neck of a plastic bottle.
Now you need to connect an electric stove, on which you need to heat the end of the polypropylene tube, on which a piezoelectric element and the lower part of the neck of the bottle are installed and stick them together.
For greater reliability of the structure, you can fill the inside of the neck of the bottle with hot glue.
We also glue the screws, insulating them in this way.
Next, take a hacksaw and make a cut at the top of the tube.
After that, we put a piece of paper into the tube, after making a cut in the center on it.
We fix the paper with tape.
The cracker is ready. Before using it, you must open the neck of the bottle, sprinkle a little cologne there and close. After that, you need to pour from the top of the confetti and just press the piezoelectric button.
According to the author of the idea, the paper that we installed in the slot on the tube can be changed every tenth time.
