Barbie Doll Electric Chair Science Fair Project!

Step 10 Connect Barbie to the battery and burn, baby, burn!

Well, not really. Sadly Barbie is not a good conductor (and because she's jointed, it makes it almost impossible to fill her with something conductive. Blah!) and there's not much to see here. For this reason, we are using the light bulb for interest and to show the current.

I suppose you could always let people connect the light bulb wires to the battery and scream when the light bulb turns on. That would be a show of sorts. And you might succeed in creeping them out even more. The possibilites are endless - you could use it as a night light, a finger warmer, a reading light, or just to make your house guests worry about your mental health!

So go ahead and turn on your light bulb and bask in the glow of your very disturbing science fair project. :D

It looks like it's trying to get out.cuz One foot is on top of anothern haha

[gghay]

I love this when i showed my friends they were just laughing

[JCoffey]

I LOVE IT! Have you thought about adding a tiny pager motor so that when she gets the juice it makes her shake violently?

[macman808]

also put in a piezo buzzer to sound like a scream.

Or put nichrome wire inside her so she melts.

mwa ha ha ha haaaaaa I am an evil genius and i am going to conquer the world >:)

I remember seeing "Bag Lady Barbie" and "Wino Ken" in Mad Magazine sometime during the 80's and 90's.

[elson]

you would have poured some water on her so she explodes lol

[tomboy97]

fill her with steel i did my science fair project this year like yours but i didnt put steel inside you should try it

[Rotten194]

Hollow her out and fill with steel wool. Burn.

[Rimwulf]

Next holocaust barbie. Too much? what about psycho-soap-opera-fan barbie? I suck with the names thers trailer trash barbie.

[ClayOgre]

Biker Chick Barbie with lotsa studs and leather and a Barbie Harley. The gas tank on the bike would be black with pink Barbie lettering. She could either ride behind Ken or ride solo. Either way she needs a sleeveless leather vest with some Barbie Biker Club Colors on the back and some nice heavy duty boots. Maybe the optional Barbie spike helmet. Goggles or one of those aviator style hood things with goggles. ...and don't forget the tattoos!

Times Square Hooker Barbie, I will leave it to you to figure out appropriate fashions.

Fix her up with a hocky mask and a nice little pink chainsaw and a stylish leather apron = Psychotic Serial Killer Barbie.

How about Steampunk Barbie?

Cyborg Barbie, replace some of her parts with Transformers action figure parts.

Gulf war Barbie? Give her a nice M16 with pink accents, a flak vest with...you guessed it, pink accents, and other appropriate accoutrements.

Punk Rock Barbie. Similar to Biker Chick Barbie, but with perhaps less practical metal studs, safety pin jewelery, a multicolored mohawk hairdo. You could even do a whole Barbie goes Punk Band. Make some instruments out of polymer clay or something, get Ken, and Skipper and the whole crowd in on the act.

Dominatrix Barbie with Slave Ken. 'nuff said.

There's Homeless Barbie. No. Wait. That has already been done by American Girl.

...and she is still smiling

[MadBricoleur]

ROFLMBO :D

[LkArio]

I think if you connect it to a 240V source, it would burrn!! If not, then you could use capacitors...

[OhEmGee]

Great thinking and with a touch of sick humor. LOVED IT!

[kld435]

rofl. just to make ur house guests worry about ur mental health. roflroflrofl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

[old_bass_masta]

my uncle is looking for a really realistic dummy, then he is putting it on a bike, denting the bike, and welding it to the front of his truck Hood ornament!

[Jonny Katana]

You could also add steel wool to the head, painted and shaped to look like hair. Flip the switch and the current will burn through the strands of wool with an orange glow. Not exactly realistic, but it will give you some added visual effect.

[science_geek1]

yeah thats cool can u explain that so i can use it for my middle scholl science project

[Jonny Katana]

Just use a pad of plain steel wool (NOT the kind with the soap in it) and twist the two ends into little cones and wrap the stripped end of a long piece wire tightly around each cone. Then glue the wool down on Barbie's head (in a way that looks like hair) and hook one wire up to a switch (then to the battery's negative terminal) and one to the positive terminal of the battery. Don't get yourself in trouble now, going to the counselor is no fun.

[watermelonhead]

barbie didn't eat her last meal... she's anorexic! how else could she be that skinny?

[apekatten]

got to try this to night its a shame that there is no picutre of barbie in her coffen

[amandla]

hey, give barbie some piercings! a lip ring, nose ring, and about thirty earrings - hook the electrodes up to there and BAM! Badass Barbie gets Fried!

[uteal2]

i dont have a reason to make this, i mean not a legitimate one that prevent people from giving me a raised eyebrow when they came into my home and saw it sitting there being used as a night lite, but screw them i'm making this anyway. very cool. thanks

[tz1_1zt]

The next version needs her dancing around and shaking. One mechanism could be to use fishing line along her limbs. Rig her up like the childrens toys that collapse when you press the button in their base. In this case, have her limbs tense up and relax repeatedly when the lines are pulled on a cam. It would probably require threading the line up the limbs, then around the outside of the joints in order to pull then straight. Elastic bands could pull them back to a bent position. This is all sounding quite ill, but should give a good effect.

[listoman]

thats something I would do... *cry* you thaught of it first! *sniffle*

[thrudd]

Don't forget to add a small reservoir of apple juice that would leak from the chair onto the floor ..... >.< When the autonomic muscles all finally relax you have to deal with the after effects. You can even add one of those smell-o-vision things behind the display to add that extra little bit of ambiance. Any suggestions for an appropriate aroma? (Oh I'm a sick puppy - but you all started it) XP

[maker12]

DR evill come to the MEDCAL EXAMERS OFFICE NOW!!

[maker12]

You know, you could also make a repeating induction coil and actually electrocute the thing. That would be pretty sweet.

[maker12]

[rc jedi]

look down to my post, she purged it!

[jessyratfink]

I'm voting that she either had a slim fast shake or a deep fried snickers bar. :)

[Chouette2011]
