Power bank can be not only a useful device that allows you to urgently charge a mobile gadget, but also a beautiful accessory. This article provides an overview of the video on making the original Power bank in an apocalyptic style.
Let's start with the author’s video
We will need:
- USB charger for car;
- 9 volt crown battery;
- holder for the battery;
- switch;
- spray can from deodorant;
- plastic;
- spray paint;
- acrylic paints
The first step is to open the device and disassemble by removing the case and leaving only the circuit.
Now we turn to the manufacture of boxing. To do this, attach all the components of the charger together with the battery holder to the can, measure how much space will be needed inside and saw off the excess part of the can.
We also saw off the lower part, having processed everything with a file.
Cut a circle along the diameter of the can to close the can. You will also need another circle for the cover, which will allow you to replace the battery.
At this stage, you need to solder the battery holder and switch to the charger board, and also bring the LED bulb out. Note that the positive contact is at the spring of the charger, and the negative contact is near a small iron part.
We check the charger for performance.
We fix the circuit on a round billet of plastic. To do this, we mark the places that need to be cut, that is, places for the USB connector and switch, as well as a hole for the LED.
We fix all parts with a glue gun. The long board from the charger can be additionally fixed in small pieces of plastic.
Glue the round part to the can, placing all the components inside.
We carefully process all the irregularities and additionally fix it by cold welding.
Glue the second circle to the lid from the spray can, which you can decorate at your own discretion.
If you wish, you can make beautiful contours by cold welding, adding Power bank-originality.
We also decorate the can running along the copper wires.
Next, paint the spray can with green spray paint.
Now you can give the workpiece a slightly rusty look. This can be done with acrylic paints.
A small spray is also necessary on the sides to make the rust look more believable. You can do this with an old toothbrush.
You can also add inscriptions on the bank again with acrylic paint.
In the end, it remains to cover the entire jar with colorless varnish.
Our apocalyptic Power bank is ready.
