@Johnny5isthebest dude you really need to learn how to spell

[Johnny5isthebest]

@lickanegg Ya I know. I have redone the description which I know was horrible. But in my defense I did upload this video while at nationals and surrounded by hundreds of other people that are constantly asking you questions.

[jordan1tyler]

[xxcurnuxx]

[myCreativeDifference]

Wow.. That was very cool! I had no Idea you could do something like that!

[jogtv]

I like your machine. gonna go right to it "Johnny5isthe best" I want to know what did U use to hold the Plexiglas glass sheets to the base and have the liberty to create the slid to ur like for the air to move inside the machine?.

[Johnny5isthebest]

ok, the plexi glass is held in place by foam pipe insulators that you can find at home depot or any hardware store. They are just hollow foam tubes with slits on one side to slide over a pipe. I just alined them then just put screws with big washers throw them to hold them in place. The glass just slides in between the top and bottom. You just have to measure really carefully to make the top and bottom perfect mirror images of each other or it will not look or work right.

what did you use to make the water steam and how do you make it?

[Johnny5isthebest]

there are two ultrasonic water misters in the bottom that make the steam. Just google the name of them and you will find out what they are and where to buy them

[totalgeek1994]

I would love to make one. Where did you get the blueprint for this machine ?

[Johnny5isthebest]

i pretty much desinged it as i went so there is no real blueprints. The main idea of how it works came from pictures i seen online

[budsiskos]

very elegant. what kind of fan are you using?

[Johnny5isthebest]

it is a 50 cfm exaust fan that i bought at home hardware for 20$

[BlingKing6969]
