Item Made: Motor powered cart

Items used

Chocolate tin
Steering wheel
Cricket bat
Skateboard
Torch
Cupboard door
Feather pillow
motorbike engine
chain

Instructions
1. I took the cupboard door and took of the hinges and door handle.
2. Next I took the skateboard and took the four wheels off of it. I put the skateboard top to one side and attached each of the four wheels to the underside of the cupboard door
3. Next I took the empty chocolate tin and attached it to the center of the upside cupboard door
4. I then got the top of the skateboard I put aside and attached it on top of the chocolate tin (the seat!)
5. I then glued the pillow on top of the skateboard to make the ‘seat’ more comfortable.
6. Next I took the cricket bat and turned it so the bat area faced upwards and attached the handle to the front of the door.
7. I then took the car steering wheel and attached it to the top of the bat so it could move around
8. I then took the chain and cut it in half. I attached one end to the steering wheel and chained it around the wheels and did the same the other side. This will make the steering wheel move the front wheels in the direction I want it to
9. Next, I took the torch and attached it to the other side of the bat area for the headlight.
10. I then took the motorbike engine and attached it to the back of the door go give the cart some power!

The outcome: A motor powered cart!

I used the Iron Gate, the cupboard door and the skateboard for the base. As you can see, the skateboard is the primary base, and the cupboard door gives us extra room, while the Iron Gate functions as the back.



Next I attached the motorbike engine and blowtorch for propulsion. The torch is for high speed beach emergencies, and the motorbike engine is for when you’re not in any rush.



Now it is time to add the steering wheel. This is propped up on the chocolate tin. The wheel is attached to the chains which are of coarse attached to the skateboards wheels.



With all the basics down it is time to fancy this thing up a bit. We lay the picnic blanket over the cupboard door for extra comfort and style and place the feather pillow in top of the engine for comfort.



Very good! Now you can place all your beach gear on this handy piece of machinery and ride yourself to the beach. No more dropping towels everywhere! No more tying to heave that huge umbrella across the sand. And no more burning your feet on the scorching sand!

Computer Keyboard
Tennis Balls
Pillow
Cricket bat

Method

1. Dig a small hole in the ground and insert the pogo-stick into it, compacting the earth firmly around the end.
2. Wire up the computer keyboard to the pogo stick (might be a good idea to elicit the help of an electrician for this).
3. Attach the paint can to the top of the pogo stick, using string in a crosshatch formation. Make sure this is securely attached and cannot come loose.
4. Place four of the tennis balls on one of the "foot pedals" of the pogo stick (the ideal place to store them), and place one in the paint can.

Usage

This machine is designed to be used outdoors, for batting practice in cricket. It might be helpful to have a friend on standby to help you.

To start with, you'll load a tennis ball into the paint can, and position yourself (with the pillow on for protection), and gripping the cricket bat ready, and wait for your friend to press the "enter" button on the keyboard. This will launch the tennis ball at a high speed, and you will endeavour to hit at it with the cricket bat.

Tennis balls are used as they are softer than cricket balls, perfect for the beginner.

Educational toy can keep your child occupied for hours!

Watch your child learn to spell through positive reinforcement! Every time your child spells any one of over 100,000 common words, this toy will respond differently!

Instructions:

Use the cabinet door as a base for the entire contraption.

Cut the milk bottle into 3 rounded triangular shapes. Connect them to the milk bottle’s plastic cap, so that it forms a sort of fan. Next, cut the remaining milk bottle in a circular shape, and cut grate-like holes in it, so that the air blowing from the fan should be able to pass.

Cut a hole in the side of the paint bucket to allow it to connect with the motor. Then rig it up with the plastic fan.

Insert the plastic milk bottle grate halfway between the top and bottom of the bucket, making sure that it doesn’t touch the fan. This will allow the fan to spin. Once the motor is turned on and the air is flowing, place a tennis ball into the bucket and watch it slowly and continuously rise and fall!



Next, place the torch in middle of the base and wire it to the motor. You can cover the top with a sheet of colored milk bottle if you want the light to be colored.

The clock place near the torch, this needs to be wired to the motor as well in order for the alarm to go off.

When you have done this, connect the computerized keyboard to the motor, but do not connect the keyboard to the wooden base.



Now, to childproof this: Cut the iron gate with your handy welding tools. Cut four pieces, to fit around the entire base. Then cut one more to cover the top. Cut up the picnic blanket and wrap it on the edges of the gate to blunt the corners and edges. Use the latch and hinges from the cabinet door to form an opening in the back so that you can open and close it to fix the mechanism just in case.

Seat your child on the comfy pillow, and there you go!



The educational toy is ready to be played with. Your child can learn to spell with this toy. When your child correctly spells a word, then either the torch will light up, or the clock will chime. If your child spells five words correctly in a row, the fan in the bucket will start up and the ball will float in the air directly over the bucket. Have fun!

the Snuggle Mobile

Imagine sitting in the backseat of your car with your baby on your lap. The smooth soothing vibrations of the car driving slowly rocks the baby and forces even the most hyperactive, wild baby to fall to sleep instantly. Within second they are transformed to a sweet quiet adorable baby! Wish this would happen at night while you’re trying to rock the baby back to sleep at 3 in the morning? Now you can with the revolutionary Snuggle Mobile 250!

Details: This gift from heaven comes in three parts: A handy mobile hanging overhead to entertain the baby, a comfortable mini car that drives around rocking the baby to sleep, and a storage box for a quick store that contains all the baby’s needs. As you place the baby in the tiny car with rails, turn on the engine to have it automatically drive around your living room in circles to sooth your baby. The steering wheel has already been adjusted to drive in circles rather then straight into walls. As well as having a handy mobile overhead for your baby to watch there is also a ticking clock that is attached near your baby’s head to insure they feel safe. As studies show that the ticking of a clock reminds the baby of being held and hearing the beating of your heart as they are carried which instantly comforts them. At the edge will be a handy storage box which you can stock diapers, cookies, milk, anything you may need to have nearby your baby!

Instructions- Part 1: The baby car

1. First you must get a cupboard door. Using various tools and nails, attach the four wheels from the skateboard to the bottom of the door.

2. Next you get the picnic blanket and fold it several times to layer the cupboard and make it soft. Glue it facedown on top of the cupboard.


3. Get out the 10 wooden spoons and glue it around the edge of the cupboard facing up to make a rail around the bed.

4. Place a nice pillow in the middle for the baby.


5. Using more nails, attach the cricket bat to the head of the cupboard.

6. Glue the ticking clock on the cricket bat near the baby’s head position to ensure the baby can hear the ticking.


7. Attach the steering wheel to middle of the bat after you’ve fixed it to not move and stay in one position.

8. Attach the motorbike engine to the head of the cupboard and use half of the chain to connect it to the wheels and steering wheel.


9. Use the remaining of the chain and nail one end to the cricket bat. This end can be attached to anything in the room and ensure that the motor bed will travel around it.


Instructions- Part 2: The Baby Mobile

1. Using nails, attach the tip of the iron gate to the top of the cricket bat securely.

2. Also using nail, attach the silver teapot upside down to the middle of the underside of the iron gate.
3. Using strings, tie the tennis balls to dangle on the bars of the iron gate. This enables the balls to swing back and forth and cause interesting reflections on the iron pot in the middle.

Instructions- Part 3: The Storage Box

1. Glue the chocolate tin box to the foot of the cupboard/bed.

2. Inside glue the empty paint bucket to form a compartment to place various items such as milk bottles

3. Place cookies and snacks for the older babies.

Timed Tea Lift and TrolleyEquipment used:

Motorbike engine
Chain
Steering wheel
Iron gate
Clock
Skateboard
Cupboard door
Empty paint pot
Wooden spoons
Pogo Stick
Torch
Feather Pillow
Trainers

1. Rig the pulley. Use the knife to cut a ridge around the circumference of the steering wheel, and loop one end of the chain around the circumference. Connect the steering wheel to the engine so the engine will turn the steering wheel and the wheel will act as a cog for the chain. Keep this end on the first floor where the tea will be served. On the ground floor, glue the bottom of the paint can securely to the floor outside the kitchen, unhook the handle and put the chain through it. Rehook the handle so the handle and chain form a link where the chain is free to move.

2. Attach the tray. Using the laces from the trainers, lace them through the loops in the chain on the kitchen side of the pulley and tie the iron gate to the chain. Use lots of glue to reinforce the tie. To hold up the tray, use a bundle of three glued together spoons by gluing the tray at right angles to the chain. Soak the pillowcase in glue and cover the gate with it so it hardens and forms a flat surface. Cut off a bar from the iron gate for step 3.

3. Set up the electromagnet. Use the batteries and circuit from the torch, but replace the light bulb with connections to the spring from the pogo stick. Insert one piece of iron into the coil and turn on the circuit. Connect the clock into the circuit so that at 5pm, the circuit will turn off and the electromagnet will stop working and the let the trolley go.

4. Set up the rest. Attach the other piece of iron to the skateboard so it is attracted to the electromagnet. Use wooden spoons to make a weak catch on the spring so that the trolley will push the spring back and when it is time to be released, the stored energy will be converted to kinetic energy. Fit the cupboard door to the first floor to hide the system.

HOW TO WORK IT: Load trolley with food. Set the clock to the right time and turn on circuit. Roll trolley onto tray and push until click of catch is heard. Turn on bike engine and pulley will take tray to first floor. At the right time, the spring and magnet will release the trolley that will open the door and show the first floor that tea is served!

The Timetraveler/ returner

That's right! Go back or forward in time with just using these few simple yet necessary items!


Scrap Items Used:


* Empty chocolate tin
* Car stearing wheel
* Skateboard
* Cupboard door
* Feather pillow
* Clock
* Motorbike engine
* Computer keyboard
* Chain

Putting this together would be quite simple. Take the skateboard first. Put LOTS of glue on it(try not to glue yourself XD) and then put the cupard door onto it but angle it towards the back of the board cuz you need to have room for the other items. This cupbard door will be where you sit.And add to that the feather pillow.

Now you want to take the motorbike engine, and the empty chocolate tin and glue the engine onto the tin. You need the tin to be placed down in a diagnal way. Next you should attach the steering wheel to the side of the tin and have it mounted just to where you can grip it with one hand cuz you'll have the clock mounted sideways on the otherside of the tin. You'll want to sit down and put the keyboard in your lap making sure it's directly attached to the clock, the engine and the steering wheel so that you can control everything.And remember to use the chain to bind all the pieces and parts together.

Now you are ready to try out your new invention. SImply find a tall hill, and get at the very top of it, sit on your machine, and start rolling down the hill, picking up speed as you go. Type in the coordinates of the time period you are going to be in, and TADA! You'll zoom off into either the past or future whichever yo uchose.

And so you have it all put together now you simply just type in your destination, the clock will be your return mechanism so that where ever you are when its alarm goes off, you will know to type in when to return so you don't get trapped in another time period.

So, it's a safe, fun, easy invention to make, use, and enjoy!

Here it is:

The comfy hopper

What you'll need:
Pogo stick
Feather pillow
Motorbike engine
