Diagram showing backpack components

Backpack Body

Materials

Complete backpack showing the location of the oxygen tanks
  • Large bottle of LePage white glue.
  • Generic white paper towel
  • Water
  • Xerox printer paper box (8x11)
  • Plastic wrap
  • Two blocks of 2x4 wood

Instructions

  1. Fold a piece of paper towel twice lengthwise and tear into three equal strips.
  2. Place a large plastic sheet on top of the 2x4’s to prevent mess.
  3. Cover Xerox box with plastic wrap and place on the 2x4’s.
  4. Mix glue and water in a large container to a 1:1 ratio.
  5. Pour mixture into small, clean, yellow trough (if it is still here.)
  6. Dip paper towel strips in mixture and place on the box vertically (always in the same direction.)
  7. Put on 1 layer then let dry for 1 day.
  8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 until desired thickness.
  9. Remove the box from the interior.

Oxygen Tanks

Location of tank recepticles
Finished air tank assembly

Materials

  • Two 2L pop bottles
  • The caps
  • Thirsty people to drink the pop before use
  • Drill
  • Hot glue gun
  • Glue for the gun
  • Screws
  • Block of wood 11 3/8 by 3 7/16 by 1 7/8

Directions

  1. Clean the 2L pop bottles and let dry.
  2. Center the two pop bottle lids on the block
  3. Draw a circle around the centered pop bottle lids
  4. Drill a hole in the circled area 1 ½ cm wide and 1 ½ cm deep.
  5. Fill the hole with hot glue and center the cap inside the glue so the bottles can still be attached.
  6. Put a screw through the center of the cap while the glue is still hot to keep it attached better.
  7. Wait for it to cool.
  8. The oxygen rig is now ready.
  9. Make sure the bottles don’t get permanently attached to the caps, you won’t be able to change the oxygen anymore.

Sublimator

Sublimator panel creation
Side view of the Sublimator

Materials

  • Floppy disk drive
  • Screwdriver
  • 4 nuts and bolts for each one you are attaching

Instructions

  1. Take the metal panels off the floppy drive.
  2. Place the sublimator where you want it and drill 4 holes in each of the corners through to the backpack.
  3. Use the nuts and bolts to attach the metal panel to the backpack.
  4. Repeat for each backpack.

Backpack Straps

Completed backpack with straps shown

Materials

  • Backpack that will be cut up
  • Strong scissors that can cut through fabric
  • Drill

Instructions

  1. Cut the entire bag part off of the backpack; keep the straps and the part holding them together.
  2. Drill holes in the top of the backpack to match this.
