<br>What cannot you do with PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) pipe? The ubiquitous blue PVC water pipe can be seen alongside most streets here and seems to be one in all Thailand's most ample un-natural resources. All kinds of different connectors can be found and apart from carrying water it's also used as an affordable development material that can be used to make every part from clothes dryers to Wheel chairs (PDF), Crutches, flagpoles and store signs. Of course on the web you too can find some other very cool and inventive things made from (non-blue) PVC pipe including: Halloween costumes like Ben Hallert's Matrix APU and Aliens Exo-skeleton Power Loader, another energy loader costume, single and multi-guitar Guitar Hero stands, a laptop computer stand, [Zap Zone Defender Review](https://git.autotion.net/janikilgour831) flutes, and even a shaving stand. Below you can find, in chronological order, a few of my own (largely unique) creations made from PVC water pipe together with: - a Marshmallow Shooter, Plumbing, Soccer Goals, - a Cricket Wicket, - a Basketball Hoop, [chemical-free bug control](https://historydb.date/wiki/Zap_Zone_Defender:_The_Ultimate_Solution_For_Bug_Control_In_2025) Bookshelf Supports, - a Water Pipe Tron Controller, [Zap Zone Defender](http://nccproduction.com/wiki/zapplight_led_light_bulb_doubles_as_a_bug_zappe) Racing Cars, [Zap Zone Defender](https://bonusrot.com/index.php/Great_Anger_Outlet:_The_Bug_Zapper) 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 System](http://jimiantech.com/g5/bbs/board.php?bo_table=w0dace2gxo&wr_id=427032) 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-recreation (BZFlag) controller, - a Train Whistle, [Zap Zone Defender](http://woodwell.co.kr/bbs/board.php?bo_table=free&wr_id=58571) and - a Trident.<br>
<br>This was the project that began my love affair with blue PVC pipe. I had seen the blueprints for this marshmallow shooter whereas I was in Australia however the fittings were prohibitively costly (see the picture right). Fortunately they are very affordable right here in Thailand. 2 x T-Pieces and 6 x elbows. Cricket (not to be confused with Brockian Ultra-Cricket) is Australia's national sport played with a bat, a ball, and two wickets. 6 x T-items, and 12 x 45-diploma 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 robust sufficient to cling off, [Zap Zone Defender](https://parentingliteracy.com/wiki/index.php/User:BradleyHopetoun) the side helps make it strong enough for normal play. They also give it a very Star Trek feel and I think the ring appears not not like the NCC-31911 Saratoga. This is probably essentially the most straight forward 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 switch that are connected to a pc by way of a hacked USB joystick.<br>
<br>You'll find 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 pupil who performed with the PVC Water Pipe Tron Controller, described above, mentioned "That's Ok however I wish to play driving games". It bought me thinking and over the next week I spent my evenings constructing a PVC racing automotive controller - essentially a wheel-less, PVC go-kart body linked to the pc by way of a hacked USB joystick. Some Thai college students who saw the primary automobile wanted to know the way it all worked and six of them came round one Saturday and we spent the whole day hacking joysticks and [Zap Zone Defender](https://freekoreatravel.com/index.php/Exactly_How_Does_A_Bug_Zapper_Work) constructing a second automobile. By connecting them both to a laptop computer and a data projector we had been able to play cut up-screen Daytona USA. Yow will discover more details concerning the design and construction of the automobiles on this mission web page. The white office desk I used for the virtual pinball machine wasn't high sufficient to be performed comfortably.<br>
<br>1 x T-piece, and a couple of x elbows - partially to aid air movement however largely to hold my display screen up as a result of the spring within the hinge has damaged. As simple as this stand looks, the "L"-shaped upright part is actually a part of an air-conditioner mount for an information projector that I made for one of the digital pinball desk installations. The T-piece isn't glued and so in a small method (a really, very small approach) I prefer to think that if the air-conditioning mount were ever wanted again then the parts might re-mix in a Voltron or Captain Planet and the Planeteers or [Zap Zone Defender Testimonial](https://hikvisiondb.webcam/wiki/Zap_Zone_Defender:_The_Ultimate_Solution_For_Bug-Free_Living) Power Rangers MegaZord-like way. After all if that happened my laptop screen would fall down. I do not own a Nintendo Wii but I did handle to get my hands on a Wiimote so that I could check out a few of Johnny Chung Lee's cool tasks. This can be a Wiimote mount I built utilizing a size of 35mm (1 and 1/4") pipe, some 18mm (1/2") pipe, 3 x T-pieces, and 4 x elbows.<br>
<br>The 35mm pipe has been minimize so that it fits properly into the ridges down the aspect of the Wiimote which holds it securely. That is screwed onto a T-Piece which has also had its top cut off. The joint between the two topmost elbows will not be glued so the angle of the highest section might 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 turn left or proper. A mercury switch is also mounted on the proper handlebar so the accelerator [Zap Zone Defender](https://www.playgts.com/bbs/board.php?bo_table=counsel3&wr_id=71792) can be utilized to supply enhance within the sport and up to four bikes may be connected to the pc through a single hacked USB joystick. The centerstands keep the bikes upright during play and a half-round of bamboo is wedged beneath the again tires to stop them from rocking. It is a music stand made from three completely different sizes of pipe.<br>
