The One, The Only COTTON CANDY MACHINE!

Step 15 Operation: COTTON CANDY!

Here's how it's going to work.

Since this isn't exactly a real cotton candy machine, there are still some bugs I'm working out.

Procedure:

Turn on the power supply/dimmer to max output and put in a pinch of sugar. Wait for sugar to melt, then add more. When a decent amount of sugar is in there, plug in the motor. Allow sugar to shoot out of the little holes and turn into yummy cotton candy.

Repeat process.

I know, it should be continuous and needs more work, but next year I'm going to make a MUCH better one. STAY TUNED!

Remember, this is the first documented homemade "industrial" cotton candy machine on the internet, ever. It's really not that bad of a start, considering I came up with these plans from scratch.

I would agree this is the first how to do it for a cotton candy machine. I tried to find out some of the basics on the net (ideal sugar flow temps, Centrifugal force and holes sizes etc) but couldn't find much. We call it candy floss on this side of the pond but nothing on that either. So well done. On mark two could you consider a non contact heating method? Something like induction heating or a halogen/ infra red heater. I can't help but thinking its the commutator set up that will cause you trouble. Thanks again.
