Introduction: Coffee Stirrer Chaingun

By
About: I share a passion for car stereo as well as home stereo, it is sort of like an art to me and I care about the quality of my music. Included with that is automotive in general, HVAC, both car and home electric…

i dont know much about instructables, this will be my first one, but this is a coffee stirrer minigun
supplies
7-coffee stirrers
4-tiny rubber bands (i used the ones that go on my braces)
1-battery (i used 3.7v li-ion from a phone
1-electric motor (i got from old cd player)
1-cotton swab (as my stirrers were to large for the shaft)
1-switch

1st, you want to take the seven stirrers and bind them together with the rubber bands, two up front, two in the rear or however you prefer, there should be one stirrer in the middle to keep the others in position.

2nd, you want to tare off cotton on one side (if using swab) needs to be hollow, and then cut half off the cotton on the other side leaving exposed hole and some cotton to stabilize the barrels, shove the swab on the motor's shaft cotton side.

3rd, shove the center retainer barrel on the swab all the way down, but not touching the motor, cause that'll slow it down or prevent it from turning at all, attach switch (i did not have one, or i do but i dont want to solder right now) and attach to battery, do not exceed 5 volts or if a 12 volt, dont exceed that either, unless you have lots and lots of little rubber bands or tape across the barrels, they will fly apart.
