Electric Chair Joule Thief

Electric Chair Joule Thief
This is my first instructable so feel free to be as harsh and mean as you like, I apologize for the blurry photos, I am by no means rich or have nice toys, so on with it!
The electric chair joule thief requires . . . well . . . a joule thief, which is all explained Here . After this is accomplished, you will need a few things.

Step 1Stuff you probably need.

Stuff you probably need.
- Popsicle sticks
- Elmers all purpose glue, or any other general purpose white glue
- A thin metal plate ( I used the side of a 9v battery case)
- A few springs ( Can be found in flashlights, old pens or mechanical pencils)
- A "helmet" ( I used the cap off of a bottle of cleaning solution)
- Hot glue gun with ammo ( hot glue)
- Soldering iron with solder
- Small gauge wire
- Sand paper, 100 or finer
- Cutting utensil ( scissors, dremel, small saw)
- Small drill or dremel with small bit that can cut a hole for wire to go through

Again, apologies for poor photos

Once you get all your stuff together, time to begin.

These are the $2 automatic wire strippers from goldmine, right? How is the quality; I was looking to purchase them.

haha, I love this project... It's just weird, maybe adding a little figure that holds the battery would be a good addition...

I think there should be a 'Joule Thief Contest'. There are SO many possibilities when you build one of these. I'm going to try this!

Maybe just add some wire arms and legs to the battery.

Or an action figure hollowed out to hold the battery, more complicated but funny...

Now that is so cool. I'm definitely going to try this out.

A while ago I tried 1up's Joule Theif but kind of messed up.

I'M STILL GOING TO TRY THOUGH.
MWUAHAHAHA.

+5/5 stars.
