<br>What can't you do with PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) pipe? The ubiquitous blue PVC water pipe may be seen along most streets here and seems to be one in all Thailand's most plentiful un-pure assets. A wide variety of different connectors are available and apart from carrying water it's also used as an inexpensive building materials that can be utilized to make all the pieces from clothes dryers to Wheel chairs (PDF), Crutches, flagpoles and shop indicators. In fact on the web you can also discover some other very cool and creative issues made from (non-blue) PVC pipe together with: Halloween costumes like Ben Hallert's Matrix APU and [patio insect zapper](http://knowledge.thinkingstorm.com/UserProfile/tabid/57/userId/1955193/Default.aspx) Aliens Exo-skeleton Power Loader, one other energy loader costume, single and multi-guitar Guitar Hero stands, a laptop computer stand, [Zap Zone Defender](http://communally.de/index.php?title=GOOTOP_Bug_Zapper_Outdoor_Electric_Review) flutes, and even a shaving stand. Below you can find, in chronological order, a few of my very own (mostly unique) creations made from PVC water pipe together with: - a Marshmallow Shooter, Plumbing, Soccer Goals, [Zap Zone Defender](http://xn--ob0b85vjzbsuj.com/bbs/board.php?bo_table=free&wr_id=72338) - a Cricket Wicket, - a Basketball Hoop, Bookshelf Supports, - a Water Pipe Tron Controller, Racing Cars, Pinball Table Leg Extensions, Data Projector Mounts, [Zap Zone Defender](http://wiki.konyvtar.veresegyhaz.hu/index.php?title=Enjoying_The_Simple_Pleasures_Of_Camping) - a Laptop Stand, - a Wiimote Holder, - a DIY Wii Zapper, - 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, [Zap Zone Defender](https://healthwiz.co.uk/index.php?title=Do_Bug_Zappers_Really_Help_Fight_Mosquitoes) - a Hilbert Cube, - a Mario Kart steering wheel, - a Guitar Stand, Hockey Sticks, - a Tank-game (BZFlag) controller, [Zap Zone Defender](https://myhomemypleasure.co.uk/wiki/index.php?title=User:LavonneKruttschn) - a Train Whistle, and - a Trident.<br>
<br>This was the mission that started my love affair with blue PVC pipe. I had seen the blueprints for this marshmallow shooter while I used to be in Australia however the fittings were prohibitively costly (see the image right). Fortunately they're very inexpensive here in Thailand. 2 x T-Pieces and [Zap Zone Defender](https://wiki.lafabriquedelalogistique.fr/Best_Bug_Zapper_For_Mosquitoes) 6 x elbows. Cricket (not to 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 size piece of plywood that we found lying around and we used inexperienced duct tape for the markings. Although the ring is not strong enough to hold off, [Zap Zone Defender Testimonial](https://harry.main.jp/mediawiki/index.php/LED_Mosquito_Killer_Trap_Lamp_Electric_Shock_Bug_Zapper_For_Insects_Fly_Screen_-_Multi-colours) the side helps make it sturdy enough for regular play. In addition they give it a very Star Trek feel and I believe the ring seems to be not unlike the NCC-31911 Saratoga. This is perhaps probably the most straight forward use for PVC pipe on this web page. 2 x 25mm to 18mm (1" to 1/2") reducers, [ZapZone Defender](http://www.koha-community.cz/mediawiki/index.php?title=CPSC_Promotional_Resources_Group_Announce_Recall_Of_Bug_Zapper_Toys_Sold_With_Children_s_Meals) 2 x custom motorbike hand-grips, [Zap Zone Defender](https://flynonrev.com/airlines/index.php/And_Did_I_Mention_That_It_Comes_Fully_Assembled) 4 x push-buttons, and a mercury switch which are related to a computer by way of a hacked USB joystick.<br>
<br>Yow will discover more details about how I made the controller on this venture web page and that i've also prolonged the same idea to play GL-Tron using real motorbikes. A university student who performed with the PVC Water Pipe Tron Controller, described above, said "That's Ok but I wish to play driving games". It got me considering and over the next week I spent my evenings building a PVC racing car controller - basically a wheel-much less, PVC go-kart frame related to the computer through a hacked USB joystick. Some Thai university college students who noticed the first automobile needed to know the way it all labored and six of them got here around one Saturday and we spent the entire day hacking joysticks and constructing a second automotive. By connecting them both to a laptop and a knowledge projector we have been able to play cut up-display Daytona USA. Yow will discover more particulars concerning the design and construction of the vehicles on this project web page. The white office desk I used for the digital pinball machine wasn't excessive enough to be performed comfortably.<br>
<br>1 x T-piece, and a couple of x elbows - partially to assist air flow however largely to carry my screen up because the spring within the hinge has broken. As easy as this stand seems to be, the "L"-shaped upright section is definitely part of an air-conditioner mount for a data projector that I made for one of many virtual pinball desk installations. The T-piece isn't glued and so in a small approach (a really, very small means) I like to assume that if the air-conditioning mount had been ever needed again then the components may re-mix in a Voltron or Captain Planet and the Planeteers or Power Rangers MegaZord-like method. In fact 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 hands on a Wiimote in order that I might check out a few of Johnny Chung Lee's cool projects. This can be a Wiimote mount I built utilizing a length of 35mm (1 and 1/4") pipe, some 18mm (1/2") pipe, three x T-items, and 4 x elbows.<br>
<br>The 35mm pipe has been minimize in order that it matches properly into the ridges down the side of the Wiimote which holds it securely. That is screwed onto a T-Piece which has additionally had its high reduce off. The joint between the two topmost elbows shouldn't be glued so the angle of the highest part will 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 show left or [Zap Zone Defender](http://1.92.203.219:3000/genniemcquille) right. A mercury swap can also be mounted on the fitting handlebar so the accelerator can be utilized to provide boost inside the sport and as much as four bikes will be related to the computer by way of a single hacked USB joystick. The centerstands keep the bikes upright throughout play and a half-spherical of bamboo is wedged underneath the again tires to stop them from rocking. This is a music stand made from three totally different sizes of pipe.<br>
