Find the
spinner surface
and place
it face down (dome up) on a hard surface.
Place the
spinner ring (37)
over the
dome, and press it on so it “force fits”
onto the dome with edge of the spinner
dome flush with the ring.

...flip over!
Suspend your “Squid Hunting” from the ceiling,
especially if you have a skylight or light-fixture nearby
(our tests show 7 minute cycles near an office
fluorescent fixture).
Build the suspension point with the
holder (38), catch
(39)
, and
steel bearing
. Insert the bearing into the
holder, slide the catch down to trap it in, and hang it up.
Lift the “Squid Hunting” up to the ball, and the magnet
will easily suspend the assembly.
Select the hanging location carefully. A fall from ceiling
height will most likely end disastrously for the kit!

A drop of oil on the rotation point dramatically increases coasting “spin time”.
Feel creative? After everything is assembled and tested, paint the CarouSol kit
however you like! But do avoid the solar cell, electronics and spinning
surface/spinning point.

Finish your project by balancing the arm on the spinner surface, and give it
some light. Within minutes, the prop will come alive, powering your undersea
pursuit. Have fun with your kit!
