RESISTOR BRACELET

I’m really passionate about electronics, Internet of Thing, automation... I often spend my free time studying and doing D.I.Y projects. For this reason, my wife usually nags me so today I decided to make a bracelet which is built from my electronic components to gift her. I hope she likes it and realizes that my interests are really helpful & meaningful.

Step 1: PARTS LIST

1. 150 pcs x Resistors with any value.

2. 50cm x Cooper wires AWG12 (diameter ~ 2mm). In my case, I used a single core copper power cable diameter ~ 2mm.

Step 2: MAKING a BRACELET

Firstly, I cut the power cable into two segments following to the largest wrist size for women, about 8 inches or 20.32 centimeters. Then I removed PVC layer and used the copper core inside.

I bended and soldered the copper wires into circle shape.

We can use a bottle to bend the wires into perfect circle as tip below

I have a lot of unused 10 ohm resistors. Till now I've had the opportunity to use them. I wrapped carefully 2 pins of the resistors onto the cicle copper wires so that they are evenly arranged and will not cause scratches when wearing the bracelet.

DONE and it looks OK.

I decided to cut a small part of copper wires at the soldering spot and blocked the last 2 resistors with 4 nice soldering points.

Step 3: WEARING BRACELET

At this moment, I haven’t yet gifted it to my wife and as the pictures above this resistor bracelet are worn on my hand....

Thank for your watching!
