Steampunked Heart-Beat-Box
Hello everybody
I never expected such an enormous interest of my work. But I must say I like it. This success is an big motivation to me and so I want to show you anohter funny steampunk object. where I used one of my own instructables;-)))
As a mad steampunk scientist I took such a steampunk-light- tube enlighted it with two blue LED and placed it in an funky glasses-case. In the top I put an switch and a small electronic in, which slowly glows and dim the light like an heartbeat. As a real steampunker I named it : "Heart of godess Elektra". In the following steps I´ll show you how I dit it.
You can get a small impression of this fantastic light below. It really looks like an pulsating heartbeat!!

How to Build the Light-tube: First Step
As you already might have seen in my other instructable "construction of a steampunk light tube", I use such a tube in this instructable too. Let´s remember the steps, that´s why I show them here again;
First you can see the tube in the heart beat box and then the tube with the holder for its own. Then you can take a glance of the backside of the heart beat box with the brass screws and then you see the details of making the light tube.

How to Build the Light-tube: Second Step
Here the details for the light tube itself can be seen again.
How to Build the Light-tube: Third Step
The steampunked tube made of brass sockets, copper rings, some screws, washers, spark plugs made of brass and an acrylic tube.
The Electronic in the Heart Beat Box
Now let´s take a look inside the Heart-Beat-Box:
In former times the box made of alumine protected a pair of glasses and now it hides the heart of goddess Elektra!
In one half there is the ligth tube with two blue LEDs.
In the other half I put the 9-Volts battery the switch and the electronic behind a blind covered with black velvet.
The electronic and the blue LEDs itself were taken from an advertising map of a drugstore after the campaign. The original light was pulsating in the same way it does now and brought me to this idea.
I hope you enjoyed this instructable and I wish you all the best with your fantastic ideas
