Sooner or later, most seasoned aquarists begin to look for new aspects of their hobby . Initially it is interesting to buy new equipment, gradually the excitement is born to make it yourself. This time we will touch on the topic of how to make a compressor for an aquarium with your own hands.
Mini compressor for the aquarium with their own hands
Before we make the compressor for the aquarium with our own hands, we will prepare the following materials and tools: a lid from a plastic bottle, a piece of rubber, a wooden bottom, a plastic tube, a small motor and an old battery for it, usual balloon, you will still need an old plastic card.
To make the aquarium compressor with our own hands, we remove the seal from the plastic cover and place the marker under the holes for the marker. We make holes with scissors.
The plastic tube should fit there.
Next, cut out a piece of rubber sealant piece in the form of a horseshoe, which we glue to the inner part of the lid.
The next stage of manufacturing an aquarium compressor with their own hands is to build a structure like a drum. This part will pump the air. We pull a piece of ball on the lid, then fix it all with scotch tape.
From the plastic card you need to make a detail of the aquarium compressor in the form of a circle, slightly smaller than the lid.
To one part of the plastic with hot glue we fix a small stick from the candy, the second side with glue all to the rubber part of the drum.
Cut a small piece from the glue for the gun. Make two holes with a shill: one in the center, the second closer to the edge.
In the central insert the motor, into the lateral small piece of wire.
Next, fix on the basis of the motor first. Then we try on the position of the second part, cut off the superfluous and connect everything into one.
It remains only to connect the tube and the motor, and the aquarium compressor is ready with its own hands.
