Thank you sir. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be.

Thank you sir. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be.

Can you make a list of parts used or a link to the directions you followed? That looks awesome for $18!

Here it is:

1" Stir Bar http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002VBW5HM/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20
Computer fan with speed controller http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00066ISVG/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20
Rare earth magnets http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001KV38ES/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20
(optional) Erlenmeyer flask


I used a spare project box I had for the container, but a cigar box etc would work. If you want a more detailed description of the actual process let me know. I also used a spare 9v dc adapter I had lying around. Even the fan and earth magnets can be found in an old computer tower, knocking your price down to a whoppin' $5.45 for the stir bar.

You can make it as fancy as you want (an actual speed controller, on/off switch, led indicator, etc) but for my purposes this works just fine. Its on when its plugged in and off when its not haha.

Make sure to post it up when its done. If you need any more help feel free to PM me. Wiring and everything is fairly straight forward though.
