What can't you do with PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) pipe? The ubiquitous blue PVC water pipe may be seen along most streets right here and appears to be certainly one of Thailand's most plentiful un-natural assets. All kinds of different connectors can be found and other than carrying water it is also used as a cheap construction materials that can be utilized to make all the pieces from clothes dryers to Wheel chairs (PDF), Crutches, flagpoles and store signs. In fact on the internet you can too find another very cool and artistic issues made from (non-blue) PVC pipe together with: Halloween costumes like Ben Hallert's Matrix APU and Aliens Exo-skeleton Power Loader, one other energy loader costume, single and multi-guitar Guitar Hero stands, [Zap Zone](http://41.89.31.26/kemuwiki/index.php/Have_A_Question_About_This_Product) a laptop stand, flutes, [Zap Zone](https://championsleage.review/wiki/User:AndreaGay827378) and even a shaving stand. Below you can see, in chronological order, some of my very own (largely unique) creations made from PVC water pipe including: - a Marshmallow Shooter, Plumbing, Soccer Goals, - a Cricket Wicket, - a Basketball Hoop, Bookshelf Supports, - a Water Pipe Tron Controller, Racing Cars, Pinball Table Leg Extensions, Data Projector Mounts, - a Laptop Stand, - a Wiimote Holder, - a DIY Wii Zapper, - a Workbench, Real-Tron Controllers - a Music Stand [Zap Zone Defender](https://historydb.date/wiki/User:PercySulman247) Puzzle Bobble Coffee Grinder Controllers, - a Netbook Treadmill Hook, CD/DVD Holders, - a Nightstand/shelves, - Push Up Bar/Handles, Fake Legs, - a Hilbert Cube, - a Mario Kart steering wheel, - a Guitar Stand, Hockey Sticks, - a Tank-sport (BZFlag) controller, - a Train Whistle, and - a Trident.

This was the project that began my love affair with blue PVC pipe. I had seen the blueprints for [Zap Zone](http://14.22.89.204:3000/charlinejamiso/zap-zone-defender-experience2002/wiki/Best-Method-To-Zap-Bugs-Away) this marshmallow shooter while I was in Australia however the fittings have been prohibitively costly (see the picture proper). Fortunately they're very affordable right here in Thailand. 2 x T-Pieces and 6 x elbows. Cricket (to not be confused with Brockian Ultra-Cricket) is Australia's nationwide 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 discovered mendacity round and we used green duct tape for the markings. Although the ring isn't strong enough to cling off, the side helps make it sturdy sufficient for normal play. They also give it a really Star Trek really feel and I feel the ring appears to be like not unlike the NCC-31911 Saratoga. This is perhaps essentially the most straight ahead use for PVC pipe on this page. 2 x 25mm to 18mm (1" to 1/2") reducers, 2 x custom motorbike hand-grips, 4 x push-buttons, and a mercury change which are linked to a pc via a hacked USB joystick.

You will discover extra details about how I made the controller on this undertaking page and that i've also extended the identical idea to play GL-Tron using real motorbikes. A college student who performed with the PVC Water Pipe Tron Controller, described above, said "That's Ok however I prefer to play driving games". It received me pondering and over the following week I spent my evenings constructing a PVC racing automotive controller - basically a wheel-less, PVC go-kart frame related to the computer through a hacked USB joystick. Some Thai college college students who saw the first automotive wished to know how it all labored and 6 of them came round one Saturday and we spent the whole day hacking joysticks and constructing a second automotive. By connecting them each to a laptop computer and an information projector we were capable of play split-display screen Daytona USA. You will discover more details about the design and construction of the automobiles on this project page. The white office table I used for the virtual pinball machine wasn't excessive sufficient to be played comfortably.

1 x T-piece, and a couple of x elbows - partially to aid air stream however largely to hold my screen up as a result of the spring in the hinge has damaged. As straightforward as this stand appears, the "L"-shaped upright section is definitely part of an air-conditioner mount for a data projector that I made for one of the digital pinball desk installations. The T-piece isn't glued and so in a small approach (a very, very small means) I prefer to think that if the air-conditioning mount were ever wanted again then the elements could re-mix in a Voltron or Captain Planet and the Planeteers or Power Rangers MegaZord-like method. After all if that occurred my laptop display screen would fall down. I don't personal a Nintendo Wii but I did manage to get my palms on a Wiimote in order that I could try out some of Johnny Chung Lee's cool initiatives. This is a Wiimote mount I built utilizing a size of 35mm (1 and 1/4") pipe, some 18mm (1/2") pipe, 3 x T-items, and four x elbows.

The 35mm pipe has been minimize in order that it matches properly into the ridges down the facet of the Wiimote which holds it securely. That is screwed onto a T-Piece which has also had its top minimize off. The joint between the two topmost elbows is just not glued so the angle of the highest section may be adjusted. These sections are simply cable-tied onto the front of the motorbike handlebars and the players squeeze the buttons with their index fingers to show left or right. A mercury swap can be mounted on the suitable handlebar so the accelerator can be utilized to supply increase within the sport and up to four bikes can be related to the computer via a single hacked USB joystick. The centerstands keep the bikes upright throughout play and a half-round of bamboo is wedged underneath the again tires to stop them from rocking. This is a music stand made from three completely different sizes of pipe.
