RockmoddeR Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 So yeah. it's finally coming. No more school, lotsa time for all the stuff you LIKE doing. I plan on possibly building a catapult, a hovercraft, a PVC raft or a DEW (from an old CRT TV). Maybe I'll get a paper route...dunno. Whatever you plan on doing...don't leave RRU. Please. I beg of you. Anyways: Any ideas for the catapult? (good materials, plans) Hovercraft? (again, plans + materials.) I already know how to build the raft and DEW (Directed Energy Weapon, like an uberpowered magnifying glass ) So, in conclusion: Have a great summer, watch out for the 0.03mm white dot of light, NEVER look directly into the source.

Anonymouse Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Lawl. Did you find instructions for building that DEW in the internet or can you make some? Please? Hovercraft: I suggest buying at least 3 cheap fans somewhat like this one (in terms of the setup) and taking them apart - you need at least 3 to be able to keep the balance successfully. See also (the subtitles aren't perfect english but should do). To make the device actually keep the balance, you'll need a microcontroller and some superepicprogrammingskillzorz... Methinks making a hovercraft (the way I'm thinking at least) will cost you quite some money. Don't know if you have/will get better ideas. Catapult: I've experimented with making catapults out of duplo before when I was bored (I was at my grandma's house and she has no proper lego etc...) Either way, I used... meh, hard to explain. I'll make a diagram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acmex Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 I would prefer to make a Trebuchet, anyhow. And then making the payload old tee-shirts. Soaked in gasoline. And on fire. Yeah, some guy does that for demos. Don't ask why. And don't pick up the shirts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDoctor Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Make a compressed air cannon with a PVC tube. Or sleep. Sleep is nice. My summer, is either going to be VERY GOOD, or VERY BAD. I could get my monster (ADMIN ) computer, or I have to take an online English course, 7 hours a day, for a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDoctor Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Im currently making gauss gun I call BS on this statement. Take the cards. If you have magnets, and a a nerf gun, and win, you could in fact do that. You could even shoot nails with it. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluffy Cupcake Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 My plans for the summer: None, I don't usually have any. I will certainly be doing stuff though. I think this summer I will be having to do some math , it has nothing to do with failing, it is next school year's math actually. :af: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
