DIY Static Grass Applicator

What happens when our viewers ask for a specific video? We make it! Many element14 community members asked for a video on the static grass applicator Clem used in a previous episode. Instead of just explaining it, he builds a better version that deals with some of the shortcomings of commercially available units: bit.ly/3jpljdL

Incredibly innovative idea on the theory of static electricity :)

[@nathans1978]

This is just what I wanted to find on RUclips, thank you!

[@MAYERMAKES]

you are welcome

Very cool project. I've only used grass that is already applied to a sheet before for model trains. But this could be much more flexible for coming up with designs. It's been a very long time since I've worked with model trains, so this brings up some nice childhood memories.

[@MAYERMAKES]

I also used that grass sheet before, its actually made with the same procedure as I used i nthei video. But on rougher terrain directly applying the static grass ich much more pleasant and gives better results, a mix of techniques is usually the key.

[@MAYERMAKES]

Plastic Pill pots and film cases used to be the case of choice but haven't seen any in years!

[@MAYERMAKES]

Those were the days

[@sjohncreations4369]

Which circuit did you ended up using for the transformer?

[@Graham_Wideman]

1:45 Describes the manual method of gluing blades of grass individually. Rest of video, shows much faster static electricity method. Conclusion: There's a market for static electricity hair transplants!

[@MAYERMAKES]

indeed there is

Very cool Project. Did you only ditch your selfmade transformer because it did not fit in the enclosure? It was a bit disappointing :(

[@MAYERMAKES]

Mainly for fit, and I ran out of time for the DC ac conversion, so I opted to get finished in time instead of hardcore diy. Most people will use such a transformer anyway for their build.

If there is no code, is it even a real Clem project?

[@MAYERMAKES]

I actually enjoy not having to code from time to time...as you know, coding is not my strenght.

[@SteveH-TN]

Veilen Dank.
