Check this out... $20.00 stirrer. It's pretty different looking. It looks like it's made out of a wooden block with a plastic lid on top of it!

i use two magnetic sticks, theye are from a chem lab. one is in the jar, the other is sticked on the center of the fan. i have a small potmeter (variable resistance) it goes from 0 to 500ohms, altough i only supply the fan with 10 volts - the resitance voltage.

It would be better with an AC plug. The description only mentions AA batteries, which would suck to have to constantly replace. I ordered one of the air powered stirrers to see how well it works. The one they have is going for $13.

if ther eis no ac plug, that is no problem, since you can buy an adapter and soldering it to the batery conetor, so no batery needed to run it anymore.
anyway its a very simple machine, the time you use to browse the web, (find your supply, order it, pay it, receive it etc etc..) is enough to build one, + its fun!
peace:)

I didn't see this information on the website, but in the print catalog it claims... "will spin continuously for more than 3 days on a fresh AA battery". That sounds pretty cheap. You could also rechargeables. Or it would be easy enough to wire in a plug for an AC adapter.

A great stirrer rod are two magnetic hematite beads (oval cylinder). Works great![image]http://www.shroomery.org/forums/files/08-24/348156923-IMG_2690.jpg]
