Automatic Stirrer 9000
This is an automatic stirrer to stir food in your kitchen while you do whatever it is you do. Many existing versions of this are very expensive, so this is my proposed solution to that problem. If the given dimensions do not work for you, feel free to tweak around with it a little it to get what is best for you. At the end, I have included some optional bonus hacks that will really make your life easier. Now, without further ado, let's get started!
Supplies
1x Box Knife
1x Scissors
Glue (preferably hot glue gun)
8x AA batteries (good to have some spares)
2x 4 AA battery container
6x Alligator Clip Wires (good to have some spares)
1x 50W motor with 12000 rpm
1x Electrical switch
1x Spatula
1x Cardboard circle with radius 8-10 inches
2x Big Cardboard Pallets (If you need more order more)
Basic knowledge of circuits
Make a rectangular prism that looks like this. It should be 12 inches long, 10 inches wide and 2 inches tall.
Make another rectangular prism that is 10 inches wide, 6 inches long and 11 inches tall. Cut out the top 4 inches of the left and right sides of the prism. Attach it to the top of the previous piece you made like this. Make the top a flap that ca open and close.
Make yet another rectangular prism that is 10 inches wide, 4 inches tall and 14 inches long. Hollow the face that touches the part you hollowed the last step. Make the entire top of the prism into a flap you can open and close. It should look like this.
Make ANOTHER rectangular prism that is 10 inches wide, 4 inches tall, and 6 inches long. Cut out the face that touches the face that was cut out in step 2 and attach it like this. Make the top of this a flap that opens in the opposite direction as the one in the previous step and connect it to the design like so.
Attach the switch to the tall part of the design. Cut out the area of the switch in the pillar first so you can wire it later. It should look like this.I f you need to, secure it using glue or tape
Now, get your DC motor. Cut out a circle that has the area of the DC motor and attach it to that circle as shown in the step above. If you need to, secure it using glue or tape. Make sure the part that spins is facing outwards.
Put your batteries in the battery packs and put them in the place shown above. Do what you can to make them fit in there. Now, wire the motor with the wires and test it to make sure it works.
Now, put the circle on the spinny part of the motor and watch it spin.
Attach the spatula to the circumference of the circle. Test it out using bowls and air if you need to. If the spatula hits the bottom of the machine, you might need to shorten the part it hits or make the circle smaller.
Optional Hack 1
If you want, make a flap in the bottom that opens and closes. Now, you can put batteries in there!
Optional Hack 2
Remember the flap you made in Step 2? Open it t and put a spatula in there. Hack done!
