Introduction

In this tutorial, we will create a simple electric broom using recycled materials. This project is not only fun but also a great way to repurpose items that might otherwise go to waste. By the end of this guide, you'll have a fully functional electric broom, perfect for light cleaning tasks around your home.

Step 1: Gather Your Materials

Before starting the project, it's essential to collect all the necessary materials. Here’s what you will need:

• Cardboard box
• Sticks (sumpit)
• Rafia string
• Glue
• DC motor (dinamo)
• Wires
• Bottle caps
• Rubber
• Push switch (saklar pencet)
• Plastic cover (mika)

Tip:

Make sure all items are clean and dry before you begin.

Step 2: Prepare the Base

1. Cut the Cardboard: Use the cardboard box to create a base for your electric broom. Cut it to a suitable size that can accommodate the motor and other components.

2. Attach the Motor: Secure the DC motor onto the cardboard base using glue. Ensure it is positioned to allow the broom to pick up debris effectively.

3. Create the Broom Head:

   • Cut additional pieces of cardboard to shape the broom head.
   • Attach sticks (sumpit) to the broom head to form bristles. Use glue to secure them firmly.

Step 3: Assemble the Electrical Components

1. Connect the Wires:

   • Take two wires and connect them to the terminals of the DC motor.
   • Make sure the connections are tight to avoid any loose ends.

2. Install the Push Switch:

   • Connect one wire from the motor to one terminal of the push switch.
   • Connect another wire from the second terminal of the push switch back to the power source.

3. Power Source Setup:

   • Depending on your setup, connect the other wire from the motor to the positive terminal of the battery.
   • Connect the negative terminal of the battery to the ground.

Common Pitfall

: Double-check all connections to avoid short circuits.

Step 4: Final Assembly

1. Attach the Broom Head: Secure the broom head to the motor shaft. Ensure it is tightly fitted so it does not come loose during operation.

2. Secure All Components: Use additional glue or tape to reinforce the structure and ensure that all parts are firmly attached.

3. Test the Setup: Before finalizing, switch on the device using the push switch to see if the motor operates as expected.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully created an electric broom from recycled materials. This handy tool can help with light cleaning tasks around your home. For future projects, consider experimenting with different designs or additional features, such as adding a dust container. Remember to share your creation and encourage others to try making their own electric broom!
