What an amount of negativity!

This was clearly done as a DIY project, I love it! It's definitely not worth the time/money, but isn't that the definition of a hobby?

I'm very happy for OP, I always enjoy checking out projects like this: the computer made of marbles, the big CPU made from logic gates, esoteric programming languages... More content like this, please!

>What an amount of negativity!

Sad but true, if you don't have constructive feedback to someone's DIY project, why bother giving it? Maybe it's a great invention, or maybe it's a horrible one that is their stepping stone to that great one later on. Encouragement really helps DIYers and inventors as a whole.

DIY stuff is cool and this project definitely is. Just understand the limitations of it and use it in situations where it is safe and logical to do so.

I feel like that's inherit to the term "Do it yourself" and I'm not sure why people feel like they need to explain it every time someone has a DIY project.

Because it is worth discussing what is and isn't good about something? Just blindly saying "cool beans" isn't really a fun discussion at all. And if a topic wasn't meant to be discussed, it shouldn't have been posted to a message board.

There is definitely some unnecessary negativity though.

Some comments often miss the problem the inventor was trying to solve when they pick holes.

The most useful criticisms was the comment about the material degrading in sunlight because of uv. Useful thing to know.

I usually like "do it from scratch" projects but people thinking this is anything but an educational, "what-if" project makes me laugh.

That one commenter putting sunscreen on a plastic bag... talk about polishing a turd.
