Glowing cap on a bicycle nipple

screwed onto the wheel nipple. When the bicycle moves, the cap begins to create a circle effect, which looks very cool at night when you ride a bicycle.

And so let's get started.

We will need:
1. Ballpoint pen (tukzar 0.7 mm).
2.LED.
3. Three batteries "tablets".
4.Bicycle cap (from camera)

Instruments:
1. Soldering iron (solder, flux ...).
2. Glue gun.
3. Long nose pliers.
4. Electrical tape.

Let's get started.

From the end of the handle we measure 4 cm, and saw off. I did this with a heated knife.
That's what we got.
Next, take our LED and paste it inside this segment.
Then we take three batteries and put them in the same way as in the photo.
And fix it with electrical tape.

We bend the legs of the LEDs in this way, the upper leg is "+", the lower one is "-".
We trick the negative contact of the battery.
Solder the negative contact of the LED to the negative from the battery.
Positive contact is also tricked and soldered wire.
This is what we should get.
Next, solder the wire to the positive leg of the LED. As a result, we get two wires, this design does not have a switch (in order to save space), so that all this works, we can only twist these two wires.
Before sticking the batteries with LEDs on the cap, you need to grind off the top of the cap so that it becomes flat.
Glue the cap to our design, and isolate the legs of the LEDs.
That's what happens if you close the contacts. And if there was a switch, it would take up a lot of space, and would not look beautiful.

The luminous cap is ready for use.

If the "boy" - then yes, commendable ..
It is highly doubtful that an adult would do such garbage.

Correct, of course, but it will be more complicated: the spring must be selected to compensate for the centrifugal force.
Well, that’s why I’ve pointed out below about "different people" :))). We are not presenting the situation that there is no card with money and what to pay for “Ketai” - this may be a problem ... But it happens in different ways))))). If the "boy" - then yes, commendable ..

I give an idea: use the threaded joint of a fountain pen as the basis for a switch. I cut the handle anyway. ;)




blush Yeah! Going to go-twirled. Arrived, unscrewed. Romance.)))
Put them in a "tube", under the action of centrifugal force, they themselves turn on.

Yes, it’s better that a kid does such garbage after school than sniffs some rubbish. And gradually it will reach the point that it will do normal things. The main thing is that there is interest in working with hands. I put a plus only for the desire to do something. The product itself is so-so.
With batteries - 50 cents can be found .... I just took without batteries, because I have 10 different boxes with an expired shelf life, but working ....
But a dollar for a couple is not the case when you have to fool around ...
...I believe. Someone may be interested. Only now, the wiring that you need to twist before the trip ...))) Well, to put it mildly, I do not like it .. I would, if I had already done it myself, I would have wised up something with a clamp of contacts with tight tightening to the valve ...

Although, PERSONALLY, of course, I would not have been wise at anything ...)))). On the contrary, he would have fumbled and twisted, would have thrown out if someone had “decorated” my car like that. )))))
... But .... ALL PEOPLE ARE DIFFERENT! blush Not all are "old" ...: stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
I’ll clarify that 36c is without batteries.
- is it "crazy money"?
This, it seems to me, is less than the price of an LED + the price of batteries, isn't it? In addition, you do not need to twist any wires - I went, it caught fire!
... I bought children as a gift. Satisfied.
