Here’s a great DIY showing you how to turn an ordinary IKEA pendant lamp into a petal lamp!
these are two versions of modified ikea lamps, inspired by several designers i’ve seen over the years that use felt to create amazing textures. felt is inexpensive, easy to work with, and comes in a lot of great colors. i love how you can mold it and it will stay in place, almost like clay. these are also a fun project to share with kids since it involves cutting out hundreds of felt circles!

I remember the days when I would buy a BB-Gun kit and build myself lots of guns and shoot them at my friends. (Well they were plastic BBs…)
Here’s a cool DIY on how to make your own BB machine gun powered by 40 PSI air. That’s a lot of fire power if you ask me. This machine gun is probably more dangerous than real guns at the speed which it can fire the BBs. (I wonder if you can use pellets…)
This item is unusual to be featured at Burnt Latke as it is pneumatic ‘launcher’. The original was created by Piper’s Precision and can be found at www.pipersprecisionproducts.com. A similar design was developed by the experienced builder; ’spudsonfire’, and posted in the forums at www.spudtech.com. The spudsonfire design uses a ‘vortex block’ to guide the BB’s into the barrel by means of the venturi effect. A continuous and plentiful supply of air at 40 PSI of higher is required and the rate of air consumption is quite high.
This BB gun is dangerous if used improperly.
Adult supervision is required during construction and operation.
Wear eye protection when shooting.
This isn’t the BB Machine gun mentioned here but still cool videos of some other BB Machine guns people have made in the past:

Click Here to View in Full Screen Mode
Step 1
First, you will need a green laser. I recommend anything 125mW and above.
For this DIY, Frank from DragonLasers.com sponsored me a Spartan 250mW green laser. (Thanks Frank!)
You also need a diffractive glass that will distribute the green laser beams. I was lucky that the Spartan comes with it. You could probably use those cheap diffractive glasses from 3D glasses too.
Second, you will need a plastic epoxy. (In the video, I say you need two but you just really need the plastic epoxy as it works really good for everything.)
Third, you need bunch of pipes. I went to home depot and got bunch of cheap galvanized pipes for about $10 total.
Step 2
You need to drill a hole in the center of the diffractive glass, then epoxy it to the motor. Now, I accidently broke the glass and had to epoxy everything. Just make sure to use a real thin drill and go slow so you don’t make the same mistakes that I did.
Then, also epoxy the bottom end of the motor to the 90 degree pipe arm. (Make sure to solder on 2 wires to the motor!)
(Sorry, I forgot to take pictures while doing that…)
Step 3
Build your green laser projector using the pipes and pipe parts sorta like below.
Put all the wires through the pipes so it comes out the other end. (Sorry again, I forgot to take pictures of this step…) Then assemble everything. You can fit the green laser through the T-pipe piece. (For the T-pipe piece, I used a bigger size then used electrical tape around the pipes to stabilize it.)
Step 4
Now you have two wires coming out the other side of pipe. Simply connect that to a 1.5V battery OR you can use a DC adaptor.
Step 5
Once you get the motor running, simply align your green laser and there you go, a simple green laser projector.
You should get nice set of two whirpools of green laser beams.
Now, you could probably add another axis and another motor to get even better animated effects.
I plan to add a microcontroller like CUBLOC or Basic Stamp in the future so stay tuned and subscribe to Zedomax.com.
This DIY was made to experiment with the green laser, so don’t shoot me if it’s not super high tech. It’s supposed to be simple enough so any regular joe can make one. But I promise next time it will be more high tech…
