How to make a Jellyfish in a Bottle

When I showed this to my 3 year old grandson, his comment was “Wow!” and when it was time to go home; he wanted to take it home with him. Yes, it’s that much fun, as well as easy and cheap because you use stuff from your recycle bin to create it. So here is how to make a Jellyfish in a Bottle.

Very nice. but if there was a longer transparrent pole you could hook up an arduino and motor then it will automaticly twist

Well Done

You know I still don't under stand what an arduino is and how it works. That would be cool. Maybe you need to upgrade this instructable with an arduino and motor. I would be blown away. Thanks for looking.

I live in South A so I don't even GET ardunio but if I had the time I could make a schematic that doesn't involve ardunio. It would use tilt sensors to reverse the current going to the motor then once its turned reverse it again.

Pretty simple I will put up some drawings soon. MAke it then give you credit for my idea :-> :-> or :) :)
