Shadow Projector

This is Shadow Projector that is built with the help of physics and trash items .

This is way to use ideas for fun and education as well , this shows a n another side of physics that helps you to use physics for fun .

Here you can see that shadows can be turn in artistic project for fun . Use of physics to turns shadows in designs .

It projects shadows of object that we put or design on it's screen front side .

I used simple Physics and trash items to built it .

Use physics to display art .

Using simple physics to display shadows in creative way , this project shows the use of science with a simple idea to demonstrate art .

No heavy machinery require , simple physics let you to present your art .

Supplies

  1. Cardboard box
  2. Cardboard paper tube
  3. A4 size sheets
  4. Led lights
  5. Switches
  6. Wires
  7. Battery conductor
  8. Buzzer
  9. Glue
  10. Screws
  11. Insulation tape
  12. Ice cream sticks

IDEA and Inspiration


This project shows how simple science turns into art with a simple idea .

Using long cardboard tube and led to display designs and differ patterns ,become easy with science .

Basically I focused to use only trash items and to combine trash with physics phenomena to built something educational and useful .

This project works for fun and safety both , use lenses to also make it more fantastic as you want .

Built Body of Shadow Projector



  1. Design a body as shown in image on cardboard
  2. Cut it
  3. than paste all parts together to form the body of projector


Paste Paper Sheets


  1. Paste paper sheets to provide it a better look
  2. design on it with paper sheet whatever you want

Add Instruments



  1. Here is a mechanical stability detector that is useful to get warn during earthquake .
  2. Using spring ,metal pieces and wire and a stable structure , that alarms when surfaces vibrates ,this shows how science helps to deal with problems we face .
  3. This mechanical stability detector beep a alarm when it surface get unstable .

Add Light Ray Tube


  1. Take cardboard paper tube
  2. take led light's and switches
  3. Now wire lights with switches
  4. Put led lights inside the tube
  5. you can choose different color led
  6. Also connect battery conductor in this to connect battery

Insert



  1. Now put tube inside the body of projector
  2. Also put mechanical stability detector
  3. Check all connections with battery and switches correctly
  4. Than simply attach all inside projector body as shown



Projector Stand



  1. Use cardboard to make it's stand
  2. Cut and paste cardboard pieces in the shape as shown in images
  3. Apply insulation tape on it
  4. Use cardboard tube to complete the stand

Arrange



  1. Now fix all the parts together
  2. Put projector on stand
  3. Here you can use 1 or 2 tube to adjust size you required

Size Adjustments


  1. Here in the image you can see different sizes

Finishing



Now design whatever you want and display

Explore Modes



  1. Now if you use it in day use white plane surface to project
  2. During night you can also use it
  3. You can switch on mechanical stability feature it will produce a sound through buzzer if device unstable
  4. You can use this feature as an earthquake detector
  5. Use magnifying glass lens to see differ sizes
  6. Your distance from screen can also vary sizes of images


Physics turns simple ideas in innovative project to solve daily problems .

Fun with Physics using shadow .
