Introduction: Arc Light
More by the author:
About: I am an aspiring sound designer who loves to build. I like thinking about presented ideas from a new perspective. The best part about running into a problem is figuring out how to fix it.
Have a really cool light for your laptop or desktop to light up a bottle or anything transparent.
This light is based of Iron Mans Arc Reactor, it is very bright and makes opace, or transparent objects look awesome.
Step 1: Materials
Tools:
- soldering iron
- hot glue gun
- coffee travel mug with metal ring
- blue led light
- small glass plate
- wood shower curtain ring
- transparent ri
- copper wire
- old usb wire
- transparent bouncy ball
- round mirror from a makeup kit
- wide plastic ring
- rubber washer
- strip of thin metal
- hot glue
- 32 k resistor
- simple hobby wire
Step 2: Making the Coil
Take the transparent ring and wrap coil around the ring several times every 1/2 in.
Step 3: Wirering
Strip the usb cable so you have the positive and negative ends sticking out. Solder one end of the resistor to each of wires. You can also attach a simple 4 AA battery pack if you want instead of the usb cable.
Step 4: Finish Up
Plug in your light and watch it glow, place a water bottle on top of the light to watch it glow!

Just what we needed, yet ANOTHER arc reactor!
Try searching before you post, you're flogging a dead horse here.

i know about all the others, this is more of just a light made to look like a reactor that you can plug into you computer it's more of a usb thing.
