Introduction

If you are to do a science project, but nothing new strikes your mind, here’s a solution. Go for something exciting and make an electric lift. This tutorial will guide you through the procedure to make an electric lift for a science project.

Supplies

Before making anything, it’s pretty much better to gather all the required stuff in one place to avoid any fuss.

Tools

• Cutting mat
• Glue gun
• Cutter
• Scissors

Material

• Plywood base
• Thread
• Cardboard
• Bobbins
• Origami paper
• Bamboo stick

Steps To Make An Electric Lift

Step 1: Cut three strips of 26×3 cm.

Step 2: And stick them with each other.

Step 3: Wrap it with origami paper.

Step 4: Now, take a plywood base of 26×12 cm.

Step 5: And cover its corner with colored tape or origami paper.

Step 6: Now, cut the strips of measurements as shown in the picture.

Step 7: Now, prepare a small box as shown below.

Step 8: Now, prepare a cardboard bar and stand for the project.

Step 9: To the wooden bar, glue a small strip. Then, stick a small wooden stick into it the diameter of a bobbin. Later, insert it into the bobbin and glue it properly. Follow the similar steps for the other end.

Step 10: Now, stick one bobbin to the DC motor holder.

Step 11: Take a battery and a battery holder and connect them to the motor through a switch.

Step 12: Roll the thread over the bobbin connected to the DC motor and pass it through the other two bobbins and glue it over the box.

Recommendations

• Use a plywood base instead of a cardboard
• Use thin cardboard to make the elevator box and the rest of the material.
• Use a strong thread.
• Take the help of your elder if required.

Points to remember

Handle wires and batteries carefully.
