If your relatives smoke, then surely they very often get disposable plastic lighters (they are more durable than matches, but still they also once become unsuitable for further use). And often, when the gas runs out, they throw them away. However, spare parts of Chinese equipment are useful if you decide to make a motorcycle out of a lighter with your own hands. The motorcycle will be 4 cm long, 2 cm high and 1 cm wide. Consider in more detail how to assemble a motorcycle from a lighter.
Spare parts for lighter as materials
Since making a motorcycle out of lighters is simple, if you use the instructions, check out the following list of elements that make up a lighter:
1 or 2 pieces — nozzle protection;
2 pieces - a housing for a wheel, a lever, silicon and a spring;
1 piece - nozzle lever;
1 or 2 pieces - nozzle (depending on the number of exhaust pipes);
2 pieces - spring for silicon;
2 pieces - nozzle body;
2 pieces - silicon;
2 pieces - incendiary wheel;
1 piece - porous filter, 2 pcs. - if with a lid.
How to make a motorcycle out of lighters: a necessary tool
In addition to all of the above, the following materials and tools will also be useful:
How to make a motorcycle out of lighters: step by step instructions
Take the housing for the lever; insert the silicon spring, silicon wheel and silicon into the corresponding slots. The wheel should spin freely. It turned out the front of the motorcycle.
Similarly, the back of the bike is done. Insert the nozzle lever into the front (this is the seat).
Wrap the nozzle with double-sided tape or lubricate with superglue and insert it into the nozzle body (this is the exhaust pipe).
Fasten the exhaust pipes to the rear of the motorcycle, just above the wheel.
Take the front of the motorcycle and turn it down with the wheel. Heat the awl over the fire and make a hole in the pin protruding upward. Put the lid on the porous filter and insert it into the hole that was previously made. Put another cap on the filter. Cut off the excess filter, melt the edge. Thus, the motorcycle now has a steering wheel.
On the side of the handlebar, attach nozzle protection to the front of the motorcycle and, slightly squeezing, secure. Secure the second guard a little lower.
Connect the front and back of the motorcycle with a seat. If due to the peculiarities of the housing design this cannot be done, then first combine them by melting or lubricating with glue.
With all of the above manipulations, it is very important to observe the accuracy and clarity of actions, and even more so their sequence. As the people say: "Measure seven times - cut once."
Second way
There is a second way to make a motorcycle out of lighters. First, alloy the bodies together (this is the main difference from the first method).
In this case, the seat (which is the nozzle lever) also heats up and “solders” above the fire. The exhaust pipe is made from a nozzle, which is inserted tightly over the rear wheel into the housing. No glue required. A motorcycle of 2 lighters in front can be decorated with only one protection (for the nozzle). In addition, a motorcycle of two lighters can be made more exclusive by adding a number, tempers, headlights ...
It is also important to be careful here, especially when fusing two cases, so as not to overheat the soldering iron tip and thus not to spoil the lighter, deforming it.
So we looked at how to make motorcycles from lighters. Of course, you can attach much more various details at the request of the designer, but this article discusses a general principle that was invented not so long ago by a young modeling lover from the United States of America.
A motorcycle made of lighters, assembled independently, will testify to your high level of ability to construct something and a neat attitude. Also, this craft will be a good gift for any man. Even if no one in your family smokes, you can cheaply buy two lighters in the store and assemble this simple, but rather interesting project. Dare in the manufacture of this model of motorcycle, be patient, and may you succeed!
