Concept







The idea for our project was inspired by the "Bubblesteen Bubble Machine" as shown below:

We hope to use a servo motor to dip the wand into the bubble juice, and then a DC motor to spin the fan blades, causing bubbles! We would like the mechanism to be activated using a pushbutton, and use an LED to indicate that bubbles should be being produced.

Parts List:
Bubble wand (store-bought or 3D printed)
Moveable arm to control bubble wand (laser cut or 3D printed)
Base for bubble wand / arm / servo motor (laser-cut?)
Fan blades (store-bought or 3D printed)
Fan mount  (laser-cut)
Base to attach fan mount and bubble want mount  (laser cut)

we also need to make sure that the DC motor has enough torque to spin the fan blades (look into gear-boxes etc.)
