<br>What cannot you do with PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) pipe? The ubiquitous blue PVC water pipe can be seen alongside most streets right here and appears to be one in all Thailand's most considerable un-natural resources. All kinds of various connectors can be found and apart from carrying water it is also used as an inexpensive construction material that can be used to make every part from clothes dryers to Wheel chairs (PDF), Crutches, flagpoles and shop signs. Of course on the internet you may as well find some other very cool and inventive issues made from (non-blue) PVC pipe together with: Halloween costumes like Ben Hallert's Matrix APU and Aliens Exo-skeleton Power Loader, one other power loader costume, single and multi-guitar Guitar Hero stands, a laptop computer stand, flutes, and even a shaving stand. Below you can find, in chronological order, a few of my own (mostly authentic) creations made from PVC water pipe together with: - a Marshmallow Shooter, Plumbing, Soccer Goals, - a Cricket Wicket, - a Basketball Hoop, Bookshelf Supports, - a Water Pipe Tron Controller, Racing Cars, Pinball Table Leg Extensions, Data Projector Mounts, - a Laptop Stand, - a Wiimote Holder, - a DIY Wii [Zappify mosquito zapper](https://cshow.link/brigidafunderb), - a Workbench, Real-Tron Controllers - a Music Stand Puzzle Bobble Coffee Grinder Controllers, - a Netbook Treadmill Hook, CD/DVD Holders, - a Nightstand/shelves, - Push Up Bar/Handles, Fake Legs, - a Hilbert Cube, - a Mario Kart steering wheel, - a Guitar Stand, Hockey Sticks, - a Tank-sport (BZFlag) controller, - a Train Whistle, and - a Trident.<br>

<br>This was the project that began my love affair with blue PVC pipe. I had seen the blueprints for this marshmallow shooter whereas I used to be in Australia however the fittings had been prohibitively expensive (see the picture right). Fortunately they are very reasonably priced here in Thailand. 2 x T-Pieces and 6 x elbows. Cricket (to not be confused with Brockian Ultra-Cricket) is Australia's national sport performed with a bat, a ball, and two wickets. 6 x T-pieces, and 12 x 45-degree elbows. The backboard is a non-regulation dimension piece of plywood that we found lying round and we used green duct tape for the markings. Although the ring isn't strong sufficient to hold off, the aspect helps make it robust sufficient for normal play. They also give it a really Star Trek really feel and I think the ring looks not unlike the NCC-31911 Saratoga. This is perhaps probably the most straight ahead use for PVC pipe on this page. 2 x 25mm to 18mm (1" to 1/2") reducers, 2 x customized motorbike hand-grips, 4 x push-buttons, and a mercury swap which are linked to a computer through a hacked USB joystick.<br>

<br>You could find extra particulars about how I made the controller on this challenge page and i've also extended the same concept to play GL-Tron using real motorbikes. A university pupil who played with the PVC Water Pipe Tron Controller, described above, said "That's Ok but I like to play driving games". It received me considering and over the subsequent week I spent my evenings building a PVC racing car controller - essentially a wheel-much less, PVC go-kart frame connected to the pc by way of a hacked USB joystick. Some Thai college students who saw the primary automobile needed to know the way all of it labored and six of them got here around one Saturday and we spent the whole day hacking joysticks and constructing a second automobile. By connecting them each to a laptop and a knowledge projector we had been able to play break up-screen Daytona USA. You can find more particulars about the design and [Zappify mosquito zapper](https://www.ebersbach.org/index.php?title=LiBa_Electric_Bug_Zapper_Mosquito_Killer_Review:_Pros_Cons_Verdict) development of the vehicles on this undertaking page. The white office table I used for the virtual pinball machine wasn't excessive sufficient to be performed comfortably.<br>

<br>1 x T-piece, and a couple of x elbows - partially to assist air flow but mostly to hold my display screen up because the spring within the hinge has damaged. As straightforward as this stand appears, the "L"-formed upright part is definitely a part of an air-conditioner mount for an information projector that I made for mosquito [bug zapper for patio](https://marketingme.wiki/wiki/User:LynneGomes93007) one of the virtual pinball table installations. The T-piece isn't glued and so in a small way (a very, very small approach) I prefer to think that if the air-conditioning mount had been ever wanted again then the elements might re-mix in a Voltron or Captain Planet and the Planeteers or Power Rangers MegaZord-like approach. Of course if that occurred my laptop computer display screen would fall down. I do not personal a Nintendo Wii but I did manage to get my arms on a Wiimote so that I may try out a few of Johnny Chung Lee's cool tasks. This is a Wiimote mount I built utilizing a length of 35mm (1 and 1/4") pipe, some 18mm (1/2") pipe, 3 x T-items, and four x elbows.<br>

<br>The 35mm pipe has been reduce so that it fits nicely into the ridges down the side of the Wiimote which holds it securely. That is screwed onto a T-Piece which has also had its high minimize off. The joint between the two topmost elbows will not be glued so the angle of the top part might be adjusted. These sections are merely cable-tied onto the entrance of the motorbike handlebars and the players squeeze the buttons with their index fingers to turn left or proper. A mercury change can be mounted on the correct handlebar so the accelerator [electric bug zapper](https://et6.ir/dannchewning2) [bug zapper for camping](https://git.barsisr.fr/nidafunkhouser) for patio can be used to supply boost within the game and as much as four bikes could be related to the pc by way of a single hacked USB joystick. The centerstands keep the bikes upright during play and a half-spherical of bamboo is wedged underneath the back tires to cease them from rocking. This can be a music stand made from three different sizes of pipe.<br>
