Step one in our project is to mark up some of the acrylic sheet that we picked up. To do this we simply took the tube and scribed with a marker the inside of the tube. if you get marker on the acrylic sheet or tube its easily removed with a little rubbing alcohol.

 



Using a band or scroll saw cut around the outside of the black line you scribed. If you use a good course blade at a high speed it tends to not melt the acrylic and create a mess. If the cuts get a little uneven it’s ok. They don’t have to be perfect.



Here are our 4 acrylic disks. You can see that I got a little sloppy with the cuts. This is ok as we will use some hot glue to assemble the ion wind generator and make it air tight.



Next up is to take our disk and scribe on three of them the points for some holes. These will be 1/16th and 3/4" holes. So make sure your spacing is for the larger size.



Using a 1/16th inch drill bit drill the holes into the first disk. It’s very important that you drill these holes straight.



Using a 3/4th inch drill bit drill the holes into the first disk. Make sure your spacing is right so they don’t overlap.
