The SEAT Leon SC is a rakish three-door hatchback, which is winning fans thanks to its modern looks, fun handling and choice of five competitive engines. Darren Moss tested the FR version, which is likely to appeal to a young audience thanks to a subtle body kit and alloy wheels. Its 1.2-litre TSI engine is capable of 57.6mpg, but gets it to 62mph in 10.2 seconds, proving the Leon SC can be fun and frugal.

In this project you’ll learn how to make a customizable PVC hand pump that will create vacuum suction, pump water, or compress air.

A pre-requisite to making the pump will be 2 homemade check valves. You can learn how to make these cheap PVC check valves here:

My friend NightHawkInLight made another version of a vacuum pump. Check it out here:

Project Inspired By:

This is an original design, based off a picture I once found on a google image search. (I haven’t been able to find the picture since)

WARNING:

Power tools, like a table saw, pose risks of serious injury. Adequate training and experience are required before operating. The results and claims of this pump are based solely on my personal experiences with the one demonstrated in the video. Individual results may vary. The pump is a simple design and not made, or claimed, to be used in any heavy duty operations, or relatively high pressures. Use of this content is at your own risk.

Project History & More Info:

I’ve wanted to build a PVC water pump for awhile, but the check valves were around $10.00 each. That seemed a little steep for a PVC build, so I made my own, which you can see in a different project.

I was inspired on the pump piston and chamber by a picture I saw on a google image search by someone who used the 1-1/4″ and 1″ sizes of tubes, and he mentioned he cut the grooves for the O-rings on a table saw. That was a new idea to me and gave me the inspiration to put this together.

I’m also planning to use this piston design in future projects that require pneumatic and hydraulic pistons.

In my testing, the valves work great with air and water. I didn’t have any gauges to test the strength of the vacuum so can’t say how strong the vacuum would be, but it certainly does create one.

While there are some special tools used to create this pump (table saw and forester bit), I believe with a little creativity the pump could be made just as effectively without them, making this a simple and duplicatable design.

A water bottle and sunlight are used to start a blazing fire.

Project Inspired By:

An idea a co-worker gave me, suggesting her boyfriend once burned a hole in paper with a water bottle.

WARNING: Under certain conditions, an open flame can grow to an uncontrollable, blazing fire. This may result in serious injury, burns, property damage, forrest fires, grass fires, and even death. Use of video content is at own risk.

Project History & More Info:

When a co-worker heard I was experimenting with strange science concepts, she mentioned her boyfriend once burned a hole in a piece of paper with a water bottle. It sounded like a crazy idea, but I wondered if it really could work.

I tried using different parts of the water bottle to act as a “liquid lens” and focus the sunlight like a magnifying glass. The concept seemed plausible, but kind of far fetched at the same time.

With her suggestion planted in my mind, I practiced for weeks trying to get it to work. And while occasionally I’d get a puff of smoke, it was hardly anything impressive, and certainly not a fire.

I kept practicing and experimenting over a period of 3 months, and finally figured out some important factors. Like black absorbs the heat better, so focusing the sunlight on black paper makes a world of difference.

I also figured out that folding the paper over and layering it a few times helps build a little nest for the developing embers, and keeps the heat. This makes a huge difference when trying to blow the embers into a flame.

My ultimate experience is that yes, you can light a fire with a water bottle, but you need to spend a lot of time learning the art of how it works first. You can’t wait until a survival situation and just hope you can do it first try.
