rajiv: thanks, but most of the things i do are ideas from books or internet...i just love to do it on my own

Most of us know how to made atomic bombs, but nobody of have ever made. After reading theory, it is very difficult to execute the instructions. I never got success in making any DIY project perfectly.

...hmmm... ...is this a suggestion for my next project...???

good one !!

may be generate clean power of the atomic energy for tank powers

But if someone planning a DIY project for Solar lighting for aquariums, that will be definitely good for pocket and environment both.

i'm sure that it would b good for the environment but not much sure about the second part. solar panels at this point of time are very expensive and i have not yet seen a 100% DIY on this topic.

Juainco, regarding the wide opening, people first blow one end closed rod with stopper while heating, later do what you did, fill sand , close both ends then all the bends. Now that you have heat gun, should be very easy, unless you got any spare pipe left.

ok, got a new pipe...

closed one end, heated a small area and try to blow...man, you need the lungs of a horse...

1. attempt...

hahahahaha

2.attempt...

hahahahahahahahahahaha

several attempts later...



had to give up, consumed the whole pipe, was close to a lung collapse and pissed

the difficulties are:
- no chance to blow a bubble when the pipe is long. it only works in case the pipe is not longer than 10 inch.
maybe using an airpump would help, but don't have one.
- very small temperature range, between pipe is soft enough to blow a bubble and to hot, so pipe boils inside

i had one more or less good result, but the bubble wall was thin as paper...and i broke it while cutting...



will try again...when i get new pipes...

Must say we learn from the such numerous attempts.

[ishaan]

the attempt reminded me of a scene of three stooges - Moe was ordered by corly and larry to blow 1000 balloons as he ate up breakfast without informing em'!!! hahaha!!
