Introduction: Safety Glasses to Prevent Back Problems! V1

About: Hi ! My name is Piyush, and I am 13 years old in 2024 making such cool and amazing projects as my hobby.

It's Good to have books for Knowledge and to strengthen your brain overall, But with all our books and hand-held devices, it can be easy to start the habit of craning your neck down and looking into your lap as you read from either a book or a screen – this can put severe pressure on your neck and upper back muscles and can even lead to a trapped nerve. While it's important to read books, it is also important to keep your physical body healthy and flourishing, That's why I have made very simple and easy-to-make Safety Glasses to counter this major problem. On top of that, you can easily change the angle of reflection by the mirror to your comfort.

Three mirrors are placed in front of your glasses at an angle of your choice, reflecting the light rays to your eyes. This makes it so that when you keep your body and neck straight and looking forward, Any light rays intersecting the mirror will reflect and go into your eye. If this interests you, follow along with me to build a simple but effective glasses

Supplies

Parts:


Tools:

  • Scissors
  • Hot Glue Gun

Step 1: Joining the Mirrors Together

Turn on your Hot Glue Gun and wait for a while for it to heat up. Next, take one of your mirrors, put Hot Glue on the side of it, and quickly attach the side of the second mirror to it. After that, repeat the process by putting the Hot Glue on the side of the second mirror and sticking it to the side of the Third mirror. In all, you should get a Rectangle Mirror just like the one shown in the pictures above.

Step 2: Painting the Back of Mirrors (optional)

You can use normal paint or spray paint depending on what you have. Since my glasses are black color, I will be painting the back of my mirrors black. This Step is for Aesthetics and is completely optional to do.

First, make sure that the glue that connects the mirrors is dry. Then flip the mirrors to the back side and start painting the color you want it to be. After painting, make sure the paint is dry before moving on to the next steps

*Pro Tip: To add some design, I have put tape on the back of the mirrors before painting. And then when the painting is done, take out the tape.

Step 3: Attaching the Metal Wires to the Glasses and Mirror

For this step, you will need a single-strand metal wire to join the glasses to the mirrors while being able to Bend the wire to adjust the mirror's location. Firstly, take the single-strand and cut 6 pcs of 3 cm wires. Next, Bend 1 cm of the wire to a right angle to make an L-shaped figure. Finally, attach the 1 cm side to the end of the glasses shown in the pictures. After, leave half a centimeter (5 mm) on the longer side after the right angle, and attach the rest of the wire to the back of the mirror with hot glue, just like in the pictures.

Step 4: Final Thoughts!

Wear the glasses and never worry about getting injured ever again!

"I hope this project was useful to anyone and I really like how this project came together, especially the aesthetics It was very fun and an easy build to make with exponential results"

Step 5: Improvments

Every Project is not perfect. While making this Project, I have learned a lot from this project and have also realized some potential improvements which maybe you could improve on and make it better for yourself. I have realized that the glue that connects the glasses to the wire is not strong enough, so to counter that, we can use super glue to make the connection stronger. To Make it to the next level, we can maybe add some electronics to the mix like sensors to detect if there is an object underneath and maybe turn on a light
