Introduction: How to Make Bubble Blower Machine in a Very Simple Way
Hi readers in this instructable I will show you how can you make this amazing bubble blower machine at your home.
To make this you need very simple materials and basic electronic components, the end result will surprise you.
You can build this bubble blower and show it to impress your friends at parties!
This machine uses a very simple working principle, you might have tried those ordinary bubble blowers, they give out one or two bubbles and they need to be blown manually.
But this machine is automatic and produces several bubbles per second all you need to do is turn on the switch.
The CD has multiple holes that pass through the dishwashing liquid, thereby holding a think film of foam which when blown comes out as a bubble.
With all this being said let's jump into building this project.
Supplies
BO motor
DVD Motor or a round dc motor with a propeller
Small plastic bottle to contain liquid
Old CD
Piece of wood to hold all the components
Switch
Battery and holder
Hot glue
Dishwashing liquid
Small piece of wood
Step 1: Making the Liquid Container
Since we need something that can hold the magic liquid I made use of this small juice bottle that was just laying around in my toolbox.
Just mark the area that needs to be cut, before marking the area make sure that the size of the area is much larger than the size of the cd.
After the marking has been made you can use the safety cutter to cut the plastic bottle.
End of this process we have the container ready, make sure to recheck by placing the cd inside this container.
Step 2: Bubble Maker
With Tinkercad i designed the bubble maker which I replaced by CD in this project
To make the bubble I will be using the CD, instead of one hole we are making use of multiple holes so that the bubble formation occurs instantly when the air is blown.
We need to mark the areas where the hole will be made.
I used a black marker to mark the spots, You can use a drilling machine to make holes but the chances of breaking the CD are very high.
I recommend you make holes using the soldering lead.
Don't have a CD or soldering iron? well I got you, you can just use this STL to print a Circular disc with holes
I have given STL files and the setting by which you can print those.

Step 3: Adding BO Motor
Holes can be finished by reinserting the soldering iron and after dry trim of the excess edges with the cutter.
Also, you can use emery paper or sandpaper for a great finish, just rub the paper all over the holes.
After the work of making the hole is complete you can just punch a small hole in the center of the CD.
Gently push the shaft of the BO motor inside this hole, and add a drop of superglue to ensure firm connections.
Step 4: Setting Things Up
The wooden base holds all the components of our project. start by adding a small amount of hot glue on the wooden piece and later placing the container gently, just make sure the hot glue is not too hot or else it may disfigure the plastic container.
Now place the stand on the base and check where exactly you can place the BO Motor so that the CD is just immersed inside the liquid and is not touching the base.
After that use hot glue to keep everything in place, now for the air-blowing motor I will use the battery holder as a stand.
Glue the base first and then glue the dc motor on top of the holder.
I had some unused space on the first stand so I thought of adding the switch over there.
Now we have all the components on board we just need to connect those.
Step 5: Electronics Part
We are using a very basic electronic circuit in our project, Both the motors are controlled by a single switch
Start by checking the dc motor which has a fan attachment to check the direction of the air blow, air should blow towards the CD if it is not change the terminals of the wire.
Now solder the wires to the motor followed by soldering the wires to the terminals of the switch.
Check the circuit if everything works fine and definitely it should.

Step 6: How to Use
If you built this machine then using this would be much more easier.
All you have to do is dilute the dishwashing liquid with water and fil the container with liquid
Make sure you are filling more than half, the point here is the holes on the CD must be completely submerged inside the liquid.
Now turn on the switch, the BO motor or CD starts to spin and at the same time, air starts to blow on the other fan.
These combinations result in bubble formation, note that this works best in the area where there is no external air blow.
As I tested this project outdoor where there was wind blow my bubbles went flying in random directions.

This was my effort 7 years ago. Haven't fitted the bubblemix tank but used guttering. The wind rotates the wheel and the sail on the fork makes sure the wheel always faces the wind. Added a small shield so that the bubbles came out half way up the turn not directly out of the tank.
