Step 2General Construction part II
Most of the top half of the pack is made from one inch Styrofoam insulation found at most hardware stores. I found mine at Lowes for about $15 for a eight by four foot sheet.
The gear box was made with four layers of foam and a piece of PVC pipe in the center for the hose to come out of. The knob on the gear box is made from a prescription bottle top a pen cap.
The Cyclotron's lower layer was made with two pieces of the presentation board cut in the correct shape and the one inch foam just placed in between the two layers. Thin cardboard from a soda can box was cut into strips and glued around it. The second layer where the lights are is a cover for plates in the microwave. The bumper that goes across it is just more presentation board that was bent over the edge of my work bench and then glued in place. The bolts on the side are simply for show.
The ribbon cable is actually off an old computer and it hides the battery box and switch for the lights.
The various valves and cylinders around the pack are empty bottles that came from a local craft store that had various types of glitter in them.
