1. Cut a hole in the side of a straw but not too big.<br />
<a dec1b7c2="true" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl6OooT4wRcxKs6fiG94b14bRN_mJjo5ih6T3BLNG-sNYKBMIAJ7Pbsn_XZ6lvjqBjk8jttAlaZCBbNo8qnD_ooqUR1MYruYMePtFAMeJhrwmU8uNXAvveKy0TvSyvZqE7nOSrBBLDgMME/s1600/2013-02-22+07.42.31.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl6OooT4wRcxKs6fiG94b14bRN_mJjo5ih6T3BLNG-sNYKBMIAJ7Pbsn_XZ6lvjqBjk8jttAlaZCBbNo8qnD_ooqUR1MYruYMePtFAMeJhrwmU8uNXAvveKy0TvSyvZqE7nOSrBBLDgMME/s320/2013-02-22+07.42.31.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
2. Put some hot glue around the hole but not in it!<br />
<a dec1b7c2="true" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif03PDRCVJMgk9-3HNr2DvYQQRC6cj_ljEXGLQSuthXQQda9MAjIHBgOeyXA9SEjmN1W2-7kew9T9sWmFhRrzBH_f9GUPQan9yseDTtlSDdxYcrpQUZUCZe0pZprfD4IwWdtkcJj7kgQ-u/s1600/2013-02-22+07.45.42.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif03PDRCVJMgk9-3HNr2DvYQQRC6cj_ljEXGLQSuthXQQda9MAjIHBgOeyXA9SEjmN1W2-7kew9T9sWmFhRrzBH_f9GUPQan9yseDTtlSDdxYcrpQUZUCZe0pZprfD4IwWdtkcJj7kgQ-u/s320/2013-02-22+07.45.42.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
3.Stick a short piece of bendy straw over the hole. Put some glue <br />
around the hole to seal it because the engine will not work if air<br />
leaks!<br />
<a dec1b7c2="true" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisgACbj0ZbPM2ZbGt_CSm78PdSmqhcGkYnRQKcl-rCORuS4QgWKgyXD2q-N9XB8aycBUIJ7bofzhPkOptZODPbN8DQQjUvj8EvO_Iqb6XxEKTsYqoPGj3vgU0LYpLCaQY3ih7kwziy4oIH/s1600/2013-02-22+07.58.57.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisgACbj0ZbPM2ZbGt_CSm78PdSmqhcGkYnRQKcl-rCORuS4QgWKgyXD2q-N9XB8aycBUIJ7bofzhPkOptZODPbN8DQQjUvj8EvO_Iqb6XxEKTsYqoPGj3vgU0LYpLCaQY3ih7kwziy4oIH/s320/2013-02-22+07.58.57.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
4. Straighten a paper clip to make the valve stem.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF3U1OXY-Gzy6TNEtvEZYeIdyzwLdADmgwFlSRQn7w7uEes92dGTsW8hpBCi7-L7n2Iv34pZ8nENjqT9t5IOILS0UpjvUioFcfTMkH_0ZrFRxGU9onzNdtAW_QaD9oOLgbDDxpj-7a96vh/s1600/2013-02-22+08.05.49.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF3U1OXY-Gzy6TNEtvEZYeIdyzwLdADmgwFlSRQn7w7uEes92dGTsW8hpBCi7-L7n2Iv34pZ8nENjqT9t5IOILS0UpjvUioFcfTMkH_0ZrFRxGU9onzNdtAW_QaD9oOLgbDDxpj-7a96vh/s320/2013-02-22+08.05.49.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
5. Cut a small circle out of a small piece of plastic for the valve plug. It should just fit in the straw. Make a hole in the middle for the stem.<br />
<a dec1b7c2="true" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4nN8liXt5HYuRmPJDxdhdZV-LJNcyBPsBbwvD7ZGcWLVFdWuWKUuBXX1NyvCXb4Ut563qJSZ1Ovuo1mM53JkH7hT4wLVp0pbA62XfD9VJBU6qpnPxUnxDr8leg6gS6EthTR_iReduVS-v/s1600/2013-02-22+08.22.31.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4nN8liXt5HYuRmPJDxdhdZV-LJNcyBPsBbwvD7ZGcWLVFdWuWKUuBXX1NyvCXb4Ut563qJSZ1Ovuo1mM53JkH7hT4wLVp0pbA62XfD9VJBU6qpnPxUnxDr8leg6gS6EthTR_iReduVS-v/s320/2013-02-22+08.22.31.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
6. Glue the circle to the end of the stem.<br />
<a dec1b7c2="true" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUbJCvk4bumrYBS7Wn6Hq6sFHogMoc0gLIbsai1H3h9siUOEQcuy2H7ttu95AColo5dbRIAtrA_7KjqejKyKtCoztban80pGxg137xmt-Qpg68VrbOQ3IvcL5l4Gami35v2fBvYGHnWXWQ/s1600/2013-02-22+08.27.38.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUbJCvk4bumrYBS7Wn6Hq6sFHogMoc0gLIbsai1H3h9siUOEQcuy2H7ttu95AColo5dbRIAtrA_7KjqejKyKtCoztban80pGxg137xmt-Qpg68VrbOQ3IvcL5l4Gami35v2fBvYGHnWXWQ/s320/2013-02-22+08.27.38.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
7. Cut a circle of soft material that is a little bigger than the plastic circle. The woven side of a face cleaning pad works well.<br />
<a dec1b7c2="true" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWWfP3zA9Ln7jYyUHik0fa7_vL4R7cRkYaEtCA6PCf10vACwMj9RpPtYy3dQKdzafZ06NT7zIolKnjfZxZ3INlO_FENI3xa4i3ekFwkJy5Sjn-tuf6dQF6dopzFhqH2QaizBLr64Wn5d3V/s1600/2013-02-26+17.54.17.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWWfP3zA9Ln7jYyUHik0fa7_vL4R7cRkYaEtCA6PCf10vACwMj9RpPtYy3dQKdzafZ06NT7zIolKnjfZxZ3INlO_FENI3xa4i3ekFwkJy5Sjn-tuf6dQF6dopzFhqH2QaizBLr64Wn5d3V/s320/2013-02-26+17.54.17.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
8. Glue this to the plastic circle.<br />
<a dec1b7c2="true" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMGweuUffuiO0Xv-2AUpyhFyRpfJc0iHWMbS_537-VnhzyKoAj73nCsHLYBL67O0X1GmQjp-nKwMPJ6amO5lneoa4S9MpsusajPoItCcVKJu4BmqvnsCyQRcQEJosi9NYHoWyXtHRWp0Ij/s1600/2013-02-26+18.08.34.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMGweuUffuiO0Xv-2AUpyhFyRpfJc0iHWMbS_537-VnhzyKoAj73nCsHLYBL67O0X1GmQjp-nKwMPJ6amO5lneoa4S9MpsusajPoItCcVKJu4BmqvnsCyQRcQEJosi9NYHoWyXtHRWp0Ij/s320/2013-02-26+18.08.34.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
9. Glue the paper clip in the end of a straw.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2z8ig0mkzSdc2PgfADjBjl_GW-Gx34-3xmF4VcAs9KtpXDnbdlnUmT6nOruUbuTNf6BuJ4iFV3kndAu-PGOWouBl-tm5Ck8i6j6q9VbdRIjATK66CDSTfJsSAOJqBgaEj62rFY4VUuHze/s1600/L1110091.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2z8ig0mkzSdc2PgfADjBjl_GW-Gx34-3xmF4VcAs9KtpXDnbdlnUmT6nOruUbuTNf6BuJ4iFV3kndAu-PGOWouBl-tm5Ck8i6j6q9VbdRIjATK66CDSTfJsSAOJqBgaEj62rFY4VUuHze/s320/L1110091.JPG" /></a><br />
<br />
10. Make a hole in the other end of the straw. This will go on the crankshaft.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-a-KqGfHgZxDggj800pgWefGs0vIRMWdNNiosCGpG4Bdi4idWjYGv6EVQY0PGium2HfO2BJ-1spz51J8cIlvg86NKGT55evSsr7OTPczRyY-dZM_PNwrLLPKvoMn6dpgueMR1lJKanrYH/s1600/2013-03-06+10.45.47.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-a-KqGfHgZxDggj800pgWefGs0vIRMWdNNiosCGpG4Bdi4idWjYGv6EVQY0PGium2HfO2BJ-1spz51J8cIlvg86NKGT55evSsr7OTPczRyY-dZM_PNwrLLPKvoMn6dpgueMR1lJKanrYH/s320/2013-03-06+10.45.47.jpg" /></a><br />

<br />
11. Now the valve is done! Try it by blowing in the end and sliding the plug up and down. It should not leak much when it is closed. If it leaks try step 7 again with a bigger circle of material.<br />

<br />
2. Glue the bottle to a piece of wood with the hole facing to the side. <br />
<a dec1b7c2="true" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpoOsaVrrFA9d0_5asbvmzCF7e0IsSBaLTosb09sKmakw3tIzH6vCxeeAUqR3oKv9gnazixWyibUUR5tCJ8xNgT188kFxoPvdEf6XuyJZWESYR9ON70PagwU3O9_GhmwkbLMRflrRt5fD7/s1600/2013-03-05+17.43.01.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpoOsaVrrFA9d0_5asbvmzCF7e0IsSBaLTosb09sKmakw3tIzH6vCxeeAUqR3oKv9gnazixWyibUUR5tCJ8xNgT188kFxoPvdEf6XuyJZWESYR9ON70PagwU3O9_GhmwkbLMRflrRt5fD7/s320/2013-03-05+17.43.01.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
3. Make a frame of sticks to hold the crankshaft. <br />
<a dec1b7c2="true" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCQDGLT_5zpR0nzciJWSmZ0IVp1duZvKX78US5Utw-VBqyDq1IGjSH5iPKFnBPN0M5aOennRv6zI63VcS33r081WQJSlUSVQN-FjNBc4mweeMWf1uX3GRtY19C99jhCJUYq4OzAUn0zCtr/s1600/2013-03-05+17.59.42.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCQDGLT_5zpR0nzciJWSmZ0IVp1duZvKX78US5Utw-VBqyDq1IGjSH5iPKFnBPN0M5aOennRv6zI63VcS33r081WQJSlUSVQN-FjNBc4mweeMWf1uX3GRtY19C99jhCJUYq4OzAUn0zCtr/s320/2013-03-05+17.59.42.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
4.Cut out a circle of plastic about as big as the top of the bottle and glue it to a craft stick.<br />
<a dec1b7c2="true" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJO7EG3Qj_dROR9A3swhSjQaY0SszWaEpok-DDuTmWwlabu7rQZGNReEEuF_qZVYDNTyjxgfmflPjUcS0ONO6miexgzLfca33OC0Cu4tvyzZ9ePfY83xAG6QhRU4j_CdzWn3bs0A0tolNT/s1600/2013-03-05+18.50.30.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJO7EG3Qj_dROR9A3swhSjQaY0SszWaEpok-DDuTmWwlabu7rQZGNReEEuF_qZVYDNTyjxgfmflPjUcS0ONO6miexgzLfca33OC0Cu4tvyzZ9ePfY83xAG6QhRU4j_CdzWn3bs0A0tolNT/s320/2013-03-05+18.50.30.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
5. Now you glue the other side of the circle to the balloon which is the piston.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibhSo9UYu8CZT5GKP5x0F1vkN16uSgNtcWZlNx2sGkIp_mUiMY2U4-NvzcUwuTe7hqs70DLFy1JhzvcEmvLBTry0jVsGvo91UJ8OASyKajea7WvZkPZDj1jidEfH1aPwIkwv09S-xRnHA0/s1600/2013-03-05+18.54.49.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibhSo9UYu8CZT5GKP5x0F1vkN16uSgNtcWZlNx2sGkIp_mUiMY2U4-NvzcUwuTe7hqs70DLFy1JhzvcEmvLBTry0jVsGvo91UJ8OASyKajea7WvZkPZDj1jidEfH1aPwIkwv09S-xRnHA0/s320/2013-03-05+18.54.49.jpg" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-282032042608527300.post-57104524968182367662013-03-11T19:07:00.000-04:002013-03-19T12:06:32.036-04:00The awesome crankshaft and flywheel!!!<div id="crankshaft">1. Bend some coathanger wire to make the crankshaft. The part for the piston has to stick out more than the part for the valve, and the part for the valve has to stick straight up when the part for the piston is lying flat. The flywheel goes on one end and the valve goes on the other end, with the part for the piston between the sticks on the frame. A grownup can help make the right angles.</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjrv2Vahem4H72jZFnL279D0TfIK4qIdTIJJ24aGppo1KlH0iDagShFyvQHaBYqg81RXrkq-HMzCApmJDSDSzOu0Z8-Xfg_fFE39ZOW6l3cDnDkpZV86d9618t-TTRlBP05u9qkzp_tUjr/s1600/L1110079.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjrv2Vahem4H72jZFnL279D0TfIK4qIdTIJJ24aGppo1KlH0iDagShFyvQHaBYqg81RXrkq-HMzCApmJDSDSzOu0Z8-Xfg_fFE39ZOW6l3cDnDkpZV86d9618t-TTRlBP05u9qkzp_tUjr/s320/L1110079.JPG" /></a><br />
<br />
2. Cut out a big circle of cardboard about the size of a dinner plate for the flywheel and make a hole in the middle to fit the crankshaft. <br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9rX4T1PZO2OuZV3P-T-HDMmKhx8MJOCnOUlbFqiNjgVEp9vB88p3_sQZ1tOBO6wA0_6aenbSpCTJwpsDC9J1jEP21V8JD04odgMu50PxeWWDzILWzbstEAG4ORLQDjxxCT1WleE8YD2eJ/s1600/L1110080.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9rX4T1PZO2OuZV3P-T-HDMmKhx8MJOCnOUlbFqiNjgVEp9vB88p3_sQZ1tOBO6wA0_6aenbSpCTJwpsDC9J1jEP21V8JD04odgMu50PxeWWDzILWzbstEAG4ORLQDjxxCT1WleE8YD2eJ/s320/L1110080.JPG" /></a><br />
<br />
3. Now it's time to glue the crankshaft on the flywheel. The crankshaft has to stick straight up when the flywheel is lying flat.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_mjAUiqUtkOkfb3gTLBwfo9UdQaorI7FzKMGK4X7Aa8SLM5UNuX9SwM0-fZV_nfqHTUPcNYZcnZ6sEITHgCjGGi40quiEEh7wJDPvDZsa1ESj0DXVQYPeJY4hD_r87Pp4_Q5DQtGayy8G/s1600/L1110042.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_mjAUiqUtkOkfb3gTLBwfo9UdQaorI7FzKMGK4X7Aa8SLM5UNuX9SwM0-fZV_nfqHTUPcNYZcnZ6sEITHgCjGGi40quiEEh7wJDPvDZsa1ESj0DXVQYPeJY4hD_r87Pp4_Q5DQtGayy8G/s320/L1110042.JPG" /></a><br />

4. Cut three short pieces of medium-size straw and poke a hole through for the crankshaft.<br />

<br />
5. Two of these straws will go on the wood frame for bearings. If you get the right size straws they will just fit over the craft sticks.<br />

<br />
6. The other one is for the piston. Put the straws on the crankshaft like this.<br />

<br />
7. Then put the two bearings on the wood frame like this.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZsV0dTBaSgDtgdwL5uZ1_pYE_0_B-xJcBSAqRNVEmzWPNwdg7oJyvoasL7VzU-_r_uY4Arsf9dE6qMoUPXVayNaK8c32BE4frLXABd-WyyRdYeXr8YBSdYFsCP-NVIj3JMi2AUdfyb7eg/s1600/L1110045.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZsV0dTBaSgDtgdwL5uZ1_pYE_0_B-xJcBSAqRNVEmzWPNwdg7oJyvoasL7VzU-_r_uY4Arsf9dE6qMoUPXVayNaK8c32BE4frLXABd-WyyRdYeXr8YBSdYFsCP-NVIj3JMi2AUdfyb7eg/s320/L1110045.JPG" /></a><br />
<br />
8. Now connect the piston. Make the straw for the piston longer or shorter to fit so the shaft turns easily without pulling on the balloon at the top or hitting the bottle at the bottom.<br />

<br />
2.Glue the valve to the hole in the side of the cylinder.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm3F4P-ILaU_M3vHKXqfS9i2xJLTEEqdZISCQ2QC3owD43D8Vy_AS_y5bryT0z-JxTjxfgTLvPPBzZJtZANIW9Qraxna4BkJVWVO2L-19fQfQCjIYUCwSkyFua9px-1mkJpZggEzFy0V7e/s1600/2013-03-06+10.32.21.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm3F4P-ILaU_M3vHKXqfS9i2xJLTEEqdZISCQ2QC3owD43D8Vy_AS_y5bryT0z-JxTjxfgTLvPPBzZJtZANIW9Qraxna4BkJVWVO2L-19fQfQCjIYUCwSkyFua9px-1mkJpZggEzFy0V7e/s320/2013-03-06+10.32.21.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
3. Put the valve plug in the valve and slide the straw on the valve stem onto the crankshaft.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpDjq7HiBRfQhAWPcd3gL4z4ZdPvCb4bWvlbTsL14Rve1bcAcFI6MOHsrlpstOsQFyyYZ0YD6qfQK-meM8qt115eeKD61L6LGwj2F3uDArglwDir5A7iKYSF-ju3jDM_4niKihreaLPeX1/s1600/2013-03-06+10.56.05.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpDjq7HiBRfQhAWPcd3gL4z4ZdPvCb4bWvlbTsL14Rve1bcAcFI6MOHsrlpstOsQFyyYZ0YD6qfQK-meM8qt115eeKD61L6LGwj2F3uDArglwDir5A7iKYSF-ju3jDM_4niKihreaLPeX1/s320/2013-03-06+10.56.05.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
5. Make the straw for the valve stem longer or shorter so that the plug is just next to the straw on the side of the valve when the crank for the valve is halfway up or down (like it is in step 3).<br />

6.You are the boiler! ! ! ! ! ! ! Just blow! ! ! ! ! ! ! Or you can make something like this to hold a balloon. Then the balloon is the boiler.<br />
