213011 for a pack of 10 at Opitec) - two batteries (AA), a battery holder (ref. 390632 + 990317 at Kelvin, I explain an alternative in step 8. adapters to fit the wooden wheels to the motor shafts (ref. 390394, I explain some alternatives to add tyres in step 7. At Kelvin you can only find wooden wheels without tyre, ref. 850646 at Kelvin) - 2 wooden wheels about 4 cm diameter, with rubber tyre (ref. Here is the list: - 2 small electric motors of nominal voltage 3 V (ref. Of course you can also use parts you find elsewhere. It still was a good time because of all those inspiring entries in the "Toss it! Speed contest", which made this launching device did come in handy.įor the main parts I included some tips wher you can buy them online, for Europe and Kelvin for US & Canada.
Of course it did not compete in that contest as it involves battery powered launching instead of tossing. I first published this instructable arround the time of the "Toss it! Speed contest". Of course, I can not accept any liability. Do avoid launching towards people, animals ore anything fragile. But if you keep to the power of two AA batteries, there is no real danger of injury. Putting fingers between the fast turning wheels will be painful. Most importantly it is quite spectacular and great fun. The high speed is not the best way to reach distance records, although it does allow children with less tossing skills to reach new personal records. It involves cutting and folding paper, nailing, some ordinary gluing and decorating. If someone with a little experience (or willing to learn) does the soldering and hot melt gluing in advance, the construction and use makes a great childrens activity.
#Super launcher fast lancher info how to#
In this instructable I explain how to build a battery powered paper plane launcher for less than 5 euro. The Science Museum in London carries kits to make either a paper plane launcher or a Ping-Pong ball canon. As a kid I had toy accelerating matchbox cars on a track in a similar way. You can find the principle in a number of other applications. As long as there is vertical and longitudinal bottom section at least about 1 cm height, it should work. The device can launch a large range of models.
