Static Grass Applicator (Body) - How To - Model Railroad

A quick guide on building a static grass applicator.
This is part one, the body. In part one I’ll show you exactly how I make the main structure of the static grass applicator and in part two I’ll go through the specific wiring to complete the final product.
This applicator work very well on all the static grass brands I've tested, woodland scenics works very well and mininature grasses also perform quite well. It’s great for adding realism to your model railroad or if you do any other sorts of scenery like war gaming, you will find this static grass applicator very useful. And it’s not very expensive! In total I spent about $35 on the materials.
If you’re interested in going to part two click on the following link or you can click the link at the end of the video.
• Static Grass Applicato...

6 years ago today, how is it taken me so long to discover Lukes amazing tutorials!

[@AK0tA]

Hey m8 just found your video thread while researching new techniques for trees, grass tufts etc and find that your videos are the best I have come across. Clear, concise and well focused video. Thanks for your informative video's, I will be testing your techniques.

[@LukeTowan]

awesome, glad you liked the video. Good luck with the testing :) Cheers Luke

[@annwestgate8743]

I made one of these a couple of years ago. I use it all the time, and its still going strong. Luke's instructions were easy to follow with no waffling on about things you don't need to know as many others do.so much cheaper than comecialy available units,and fun to make.

[@nicolegagnon2160]

just stumbled across this & it's one of the coolest things ive ever seen!

[@WHJeffB]

I've already commented in the "Electronics" video section, but I just wanted to say again that this is the best tutorial and best constructed home built static grass applicator I've seen yet... For those that live in the US and would like to build this unit... The Negative Ion Generator that Luke uses from Oatley Electronics is the most powerful 12VDC unit I've found to date and Oatley has no problem shipping to the US ($14AUD). On our end, there's not issues with Customs at all. I've ordered 6 of the generators (2 at a time, X 3) with no issues at all... Again... Great tutorial Luke. The next time I build one for a friend, I'll be using your techniques.

[@LukeTowan]

WHJeffB Thanks again mate, buying the negative ion generator in bulk is a good idea. If I received one of these as a gift I'd be very happy! Thanks for the fantastic comment and great feedback. Cheers, Luke.

[@easyazpie9091]

what to look for when buying an ion generator?

[@tomatoes3]

luke, thanks for your vidoes, all of them are so good and well made. Perfect teaching my friend, I have learned more from you in the last couple of hours than weeks searching the rest of U tube,for tips on modelling building, so many thanks again. J

[@LukeTowan]

+tomrace16 Thanks J, glad you're finding the videos helpful. Cheers Luke

[@Steven_Rowe]

Luke, a fantastic video, clear , concise, a list of materials. Thankyou.

[@LukeTowan]

No worries Steven, glad you liked it :) Cheers Luke

[@bananapeaches6370]

Scissors - omg when I was a kid I remember my mum going out of her mind if she saw me with her scissors and paper!!!! Now I’m 43 and have been a sewing machinist since I was 17 ... I get why she went so mental ! My children have heard the same all their lives now too! Having said that tho I have a LOT of scissors for different job.... also I reckon I’d pinch the hubby’s tin snips and try those on the metal mesh 😂 😂

[@bobjohnson6371]

Your videos are awesome.. Been a huge help to me.. Thanks a bunch.

[@LukeTowan]

Bob Johnson no worries Bob, I love model railroading but also love to make videos and share what I've learnt, so I'm really happy that I've been able to help you, cheers, Luke.

[@brucewoods9377]

Brilliant, am going to make one now also

[@billvassar7473]

great video will have to try.

[@ScottDowneywoundedbear]

Great job on the home made static grass applicator. Yours has to be one of the better home made one out there.

[@LukeTowan]

Scott Downey Thanks Scott, I ended up making it quite sturdy, it should last a long time.

[@AntsMierenAvonturen]

Very helpfull video! That would help allot making beautifull outworlds for my ants!😄

[@MGB-learning]

Great video

[@Mrsomewhatevil]

thanks Luke. this is very helpful.

[@LukeTowan]

No worries, thanks for watching :)

[@matthenard]

Nice quality home made static grass applicator, we'll done!

[@LukeTowan]

SLO70 Thanks, it's very durable! I dropped it from just over a meter high and it didn't even get a scratch. I'm planning to build a second one using batteries instead of the phone charger, It will make it much more portable and easier to move around. Thanks for the good feedback. Cheers Luke

[@ChessieFan2]

Great step-by-step and the finish product is on par with the Noch one I have. Very nicely done!

[@LukeTowan]

ChessieFan2 Cheers, I plan on doing a comparison video soon, just have to kindly ask a friend if I can borrow his Noch grass applicator.

[@abbaskhan6238]

Luke thanks a lot buddy for the video it was just great I was searching on you tube how to build a applicator for flock application on T shirt thanks a lot man once again.

[@LukeTowan]

Abbas khan No worries, I'm glad you were able to find it! It's good to know my video is reaching the right people who want to try this technique. Thanks for the positive feedback. Cheers, Luke.

[@zolatanaffa87]

very ingenious

[@doylesouders1228]

Had trouble finding the container you used but looked closely at the video and saw it was a Systema Klipit 23 oz (700ml) container. Found it here in the USA on Amazon for $6 US. Best build video I have found for a Static Grass Applicator. Thanks.

[@LukeTowan]

Doyle Souders ,, thanks mate, yeah I probably should've mentioned that in the video. I'm about to release an updated version of making the static grass applicator in about 2 weeks, the main differences are I used a slightly smaller container (same brand) and I added a dual power supply so it can be powered with a 9 volt battery or the wall socket. Having a battery makes it great for the hard to reach jobs. Cheers Luke

[@doylesouders1228]

Thanks Luke, I will wait for your next installment. Still trying to find the right Ion Generator. I sent a note to Oatley but haven't heard back so may just wind up picking up a 15 Kv unit off of eBay. I am guessing you may have chosend the Systema Breakfast container.

[@FarlandHowe]

Well done. If I didn't already have one, I would make one like yours.

[@LukeTowan]

Rob McCrain Thanks Rob, you could always make a spare ;)

[@benmatthieu]

Hey Luke, love the vids you make, really inspiring! Quick question though: is it relevant which kind of metal the wire mesh is? Can I use aluminum mesh? (The kind that is sold in DIY stores for door screens?) Or does it have to be a ferrous metal? Thanks already!

[@vikititor]

thanks Luke - this video is greath - with comments. I skeard before for building GrassMaster home by my self, but after you video it looks like good idea and not so complicated stuff.Thanks a lot.

[@LukeTowan]

+vikititor no worries, with the right parts it really is easy to make one yourself and it will be much cheaper than purchasing one from a store. Cheers Luke.

[@vikititor]

Luke Towan Lot of guides are with strong power source - for example from CRT monitor or old TV. This is also too dangerous. So this way is NICE. lot of your videos are verry helpfull. Thanks

[@habibulfikri4891]

Luke, you make an amazing tools. I want to make my SGA like yours. But, in Indonesia there are still few who sell the grass. Can you make tutorials for makeing the grass? Thankyou

[@Sedorf71]

Translated with Google. Hello. I am approaching this world recently and I must say that your works are fantastic. I would like to build this device and I would like to ask you a question if possible: What specifications must the negative ion generator have? Thank you and congratulations again for your work: Very beautifull

[@user-iz1ct6gv8g]

すごいアイデア❣️

[@johnslade3104]

Very nice vids, please tell is your as good as the ones on the market ready to use and the negative ion gen what rating please

[@marke.5609]

i have built one of these too..from a MRH article and use it with the club scenery all the time..very popular. i was going to say you can buy screen door repair kits at hardware store ..the are just right size and work good too...just be sure to use metal screen

[@LukeTowan]

+Mark Ernst Thanks Mark for the great tip. Cheers Luke

[@jovanport]

best video luke

[@LukeTowan]

thank you :)

[@rolandschell886]

Well I'm sure it's not the best video he made but it's an OK one it's pretty good he's made some pretty cool videos this just can't be the best but still pretty good because it tells you how to do this on your own and it's cheaper

[@ricsutton7231]

Luke, love the videos, l live in country SA. So where can l obtain the DPDT switch ? Thanks

[@mauxer5185]

Hey I have a question, would be possible to make the grass? Which material it's made of? I only see the chance to make it my self because in my country those things doesn't find. And thanks for sharing your videos!

[@rivaisamuya8303]

it's negative ion Generator but just have 3 cable, i just have Negative ion generator with 4 cable. is it same or different ?

[@mikel4510]

Cool. Question, though. The parts list says to use 50 mm pvc pipe as well as your voice over. However, the pvc pipe in the video is stamped "40 MM" Which is correct/best?

[@bruceknight6926]

Do it's effects on the grass wear out?

[@rickyeates9810]

Luke why did you use a DPDT switch instead of a DPST switch. Nice video BTW! Building one for me and my buddy.

[@hawthornvalley]

I am just about to start making mine, but I have a query. In your list of materials you state 50mm PVC pipe and coupler, yet on the video at the start where you have all material, tools, etc, lined up, the pipe is 40mm, and you also mention 50mm when marking the container for hole cutting. I think the 40mm is easier for handling, so I take it size doesn't matter. Also what was the size of the timber for mounting the negative ion generator. I have a piece that is 30mm x 12mm. Hoping to hear from you soon. ...... Ian

[@Kevin-mq8sm]

Hi, great tutorial. Ordering parts now. Wanted to ask, couldn't I just use a spot switch? Take the red wire to battery, cut put switch in between?

[@Kevin-mq8sm]

Meant spst switch

[@johnlewis4127]

Amazing vid thanks I have looked on ebay but most of them have more wires on them ? not sure what the other wires are for is it just the 3 wired one i need thanks

[@LukeTowan]

yeah it works better with the 2 wire version. 'Oatley Electronics' in Australia sell them and they ship worldwide. I'd probably start there. Cheers Luke

[@nickfatsis9607]

Can you use epoxy resin to glue the PVC parts, or does it have to be PVC glue?

[@markdevries3600]

Hi Luke would you suggest using this to make wheat field in 1/35th scale?

[@doubledarefan]

Could a flyback transformer from an old CRT TV work as an ion generator?

[@Casu_diecast]

Hola amigo, le escribo desde Colombia. Quisiera que me ayudara con algo, acá no se consigue esa grama estática y me gustaría saber de qué material está fabricada para intentar hacerla yo mismo. Le agradezco su ayuda!

[@sebastianmacduck2222]

Ich habe den Grasmaster nachgebaut und den Generator von eBay gekauft. Es funktioniert perfekt aber man muss einige andere Materialien benutzen, weil die Rohre die im Video benutzt werden nicht in Deutschland üblich sind. Ich habe HT- Abflussrohr benutzt. Der 5w Generator ist aus Hongkong China und hat 6€ gekostet. Mit allen Materialien zusammen ist es eine Bastelei unter 15€. Wenn man bedenkt dass ein gekauftes Gerät 150- 200€ kostet lohnt sich der Bau auch wenn man den Grasmaster wenig benutzt. Mein Generator ist recht stark und man kann schmerzhafte Stromschläge bekommen, also schön vorsichtig sein. Mein Gerät funktioniert ohne Batterien und nur mit einem Netzgerät.

[@y2kx100]

Sebastian MacDuck ... ahoi, ich plane den Nachbau. Wieviel KV macht dein Gerät. Sind diese Ionen Generatoren von eBay empfehlenswert bzw. von Amazon? Reichen 12V Eingangs Spannung?

[@Rich77UK]

Hmmm. I have a generic Chinese negative ion generator and i have a red and a black output. I assume use the red (positive) but what do i do with the black? Unless i use that to attach to the work piece?

[@edhansen7228]

Luke,,First excellent videos so thanks for doing them.In this video (static grass applicator Pt1) you speak of including a parts list but I'm having trouble finding it.Could you please point my in the right direction? ThanksEd

[@maxanddad1]

Hey Luke, great video! One thing I live in the U.S. and having a tough time trying to find the Negative Ion Generator. I even checked the site you got yours from and that didn't work. I seen a few on Ebay but they have muti leads. Would you have any idea where I could pick a Negative Ion Generator from?

[@LukeTowan]

+maxanddad1 Hi mate, sorry to hear you're having trouble. I'm not sure about the cheap eBay ones from China, however the place I got mine from "Oatley Electronics" also have an eBay page... but it's a little unpredictable and they don't have it up there at the moment! You could try their website again and maybe contact them? The ion generator is actually listed as their best selling product. secure.oatleyelectronics.com//product_info.php?products_id=915 Good luck, I hope you can manage to get your hands on one. Cheers Luke.

[@maxanddad1]

Thanks Luke I'll see what I can do! Keep the videos commin'!

[@maxanddad1]

Thanks Luke I'll see what I can do! Keep the videos commin'!

[@1809flower]

Hi, I am very new to this love your video, I am guessing you buy have to buy a switch as well but does it run on battery or is it connected to a transformer and what voltage does it run on. Thanks

[@LukeTowan]

+1809flower Hi, yeah you'll need a "Double Pole Double Throw" (DPDT) switch to wire it up. It can run on a 9 volt phone charger that plugs into the wall but will work slightly better with 12 volts charger. It is possible to run of battery power however I'm yet to try it this way. Cheers Luke

[@1809flower]

+Luke Towan thanks heaps

[@natevizzi2901]

Hey Luke... do you think I could use hot glue gun instead of the epoxy products ?

[@chandrabhushan1747]

Hey luck ..i'm big fan ....i'm from india ...i have prblm. Here not available Negative ion generater ....what do i do now tell me plzzz....

[@dzikowskir]

Hello, it looks great and does the work perfect. I have built grass applicator from rechargeable "bug zapper" but it doesn't work good. I would like to built another one similar to yours, but I need your advice. I have checked ebay and I can buy only 12V Negative ion generator that gives 9000V. It is less than IONB2 with 15kV. Do you think 9kV will be eought? or I should look for higher voltage?

[@LukeTowan]

+Robert D I think 9000V will be ok, I got a message from someone who made a similar one with a negative ion generator from China, I really like the one from Oatley Electronics because it's made specifically for making a static grass applicator. However the bug zapper ones will be a similar voltage to 9000V so it might not be a whole lot better? If it was me I'd get the higher voltage one. Hope that helps, if you have the money and time it might be worth experimenting and giving the 9000v one a go. Cheers Luke

[@dzikowskir]

+Luke Towan Thanks for advice.

[@HansiM]

Hi Luke, I've found a 12V ionizer with 20.000V output on Ebay. Please see this link: www.ebay.nl/itm/152382512125 Can I use this one? If yes, there is a black and red cable and a red and white one. How do I connect this. What are the specs of the phone adapter? Thanks for your reply!

[@angertone213]

So what are the specs on the Negative ion generator you used? It would be nice to know...

[@LukeTowan]

Hey mate, I just finished uploading a new video on making the static grass applicator! It will be public in in about 24hrs from now. The negative ion generator I used is this one: oatleyelectronics.com//product_info.php?products_id=915 Hope that helps :)

[@kimberlydelgadillo73]

this sounds liike dd bro

[@morebassman5860]

Great video Luke, But I have a Question about the size of PVC pipe. You said in the video 50mm pipe which here in the states would be 2 inches. But the pipe in the video looked like it was marked 40mm. that would be 1-1/2 inches here. I don't want to have something too big if I can help it. So... 40mm or 50mm? Thanks again for a great video!

[@LukeTowan]

Just went and measured it and it's definitely 50mm however I have since made other static grass applicators and on the newer model I use 43mm pipe and the negative ion generator fit snugly. Any size can be used as long as the generator that you use can fit inside the pipe. Cheers 😀

[@morebassman5860]

Thanks for the quick reply Luke! But one another question about the output of the power supply. In the video I noticed the following of the power supply Input is 100-240v - 50/60 Hz 0.4a output is 12v=1.5a On the output side.. can it be higher? say 2.a or 3a? I don't want to fry this thing. I am not good in electronics but I can follow instructions! which is what I am doing in your video! So I don't want to mess this thing up. IONB2 negative ion generator module is on its way from oatley electronics.

[@LukeTowan]

They only thing you need to look out for is voltage, as long as you don't go over 12 volts you'll be fine. The amps can be anything, I've used they grass applicator with a .4 amp supply ad well as a2 amp supply... if the rated amperage of the power supply is too low then you'll burn out the power supply first before it damages the ion generator. Cheers 😉

[@TheAndreyars]

Can we buy it somewhere?

[@PhuVet]

Fill it with lightning bugs and use it as an Olympic torch...

[@Bledoston]

Hello, very nice tutorial! I would just like to ask how many volts this thing puts out?Thanks!

[@thenachonetwork]

Why would you use epoxy to glue the parts together rather than regular glue?

[@LukeTowan]

+Ellison Wonderland Films I find epoxy to be stronger and more durable, you could probably get away with regular construction glue but I'm not sure how long lasting it would be? Silicon might work as well and would be durable as well as flexible. Cheers Luke.

[@mysowgyna2927]

+Luke Towan, I enjoy your videos and have tried some of your projects. I use flex track to mask my tracks. Flip the track over and use 1", 1-1/2", and 2" masking tape on the bottom, with the track upside down, lay it over the existing track, offsetting it to "interlock" the 2 tracks. I vary the tape width for different coverages or use 2 overlapped tape strips for wider coverage. It would be easier if I had a video, BUT, I don't do videos.

[@adrianoprojects4451]

WHAT MUSIC USED IN THE VIDEO, SOMEONE CAN TELL ME?

[@abbaskhan6238]

can I use this for flock application .

[@LukeTowan]

Abbas khan You most certainly can, it works best with static grass flock. I've tried Mininature, Woodland Scenics and Noch static grasses and they all work fantastic with this applicator. I'm not sure how it would go on a T-Shirt though? could be interesting and get some cool effects, I have seen some people use it to apply flock on their fingernails!

[@karaoketrucker1162]

[@LukeTowan]

I can't remember the name, sorry. but it's from the KZbin music library that anyone can download from for free. Cheers Luke

[@jimbob5589]

What store do you pick the ion generator from?

[@LukeTowan]

+jim bob Hi Jim, it's from Oatley Electronics, an Australian seller. Cheers Luke.

[@jimbob5589]

+Luke Towan I get that. but where abouts invaus is it. is it in Canberra?

[@WDG13031]

[@TheAlfsterino]

The foreground music playing is: annoying...

[@arniecoons8248]

Anybody have an alternative to the Sistema Klipit 23 oz (700ml)? Amazon Australia says it can't be shipped to my address in the USA and when I look it up on Amazon USA, it says it's not available and they don't know when it will be? HELP! I've assembled all of the parts and am ready to go -- but I'm stuck in the mud here!

[@arniecoons8248]

Disregard. Found 3x Lock & Lock plastic containers with clip-on lid on EBay. 3 of 'em for around $12.00 w/ free shipping. The wifey will be happy to get two for the kitchen. It's a win-win!

[@WHJeffB]

Reading through the comments, there's a lot of questions about the negative ion generator. If you live in the United States and have concerns about ordering from Australia (you shouldn't), there's a retailer in New Hampshire that sells higher power Negative Ion generators. Here's a link to the 30KV unit: www.amazing1.com/products/negative-ion-generator-12vdc-input-30kv-output.html Commercial Flocking units use upwards of 40-75kV, so there shouldn't be any major concern about safety with a 30kV unit. These units are not cheap, but they are the highest power units that I can find this side of complete commercial units. I purchased 5 of them in one shot to get bulk pricing, as I build these for modeling friends from time to time. Canisters, similar to what Luke uses for his unit can be purchased at Bed, Bath and Beyond. It's made by Sistema and are about $7 each. I prefer these over others like them, because the clips that keep the top on the canister are separate items, which will not fatigue and break off over time. Again, Great videos Luke... Very informative and if you follow along, step by step, you get pretty close to the same results! Jeff

[@LukeTowan]

Thanks for the link Jeff. Thats the question I get asked the most here, where to find good negative ion generators! So thanks again :) Cheers Luke

[@feldon27]

$50 plus shipping. That's bananas.

[@joellekarma]

What size is the negative ion generator

[@LukeTowan]

It's about 40,000 volts using a 12v power supply. From Oately Electronics in Australia.

Hi, I'm Vicens from Barcelona, anyone find another NEGATIVE ION GENERATOR MODULE that works? buy it to Oatleyelectronics from Europe are to much expensive. Regards

[@LukeTowan]

Some people have used the ones from eBay (China) but I haven't tried them?

[@johnnasta]

Beware of the costs involved. I went to my local hardware store and asked for 18" of PVC thinking it would cost about $5, not realizing that it was $14.49 per foot. The pipe and the coupler cost me $24 USD. An actual flocking machine cup like the one shown in this video costs $55 USD on ebay.

[@SimoWill75]

Seriously?! Something isn't right there. Try a different store. Here in Australia (where everything is more expensive than the US) 2" PVC is $2.15 per foot and the coupler to suit is $1.40. Google tells me that's US$2.50 at current exchange rates.

[@johnnasta]

Unfortunately the guy didn’t tell me how much it costs until after he cut it.

[@MrOldCrow]

what about a nylon shirt and a pvc tube?

[@LukeTowan]

+MrOldCrow Similar to rubbing a balloon on your head?? There is a product from Noch that uses that principle, not sure what it's called though. Cheers Luke

[@jazzman1626]

I may not be understanding electricity enough, but I wonder if an applicator could be made from a cheap torch? It has a switch already built in.

[@DaveT9Gt]

Hello, I am from Germany. I've searched on ebay by negative ion generator , but I find just one with four cables , is that right? Excuse my english.👍thx

[@LukeTowan]

+DaviRelli Channel The four wire ones should work but I'm not sure if they are as good, I haven't personally tried them and apparently you can chop off the extra high voltage output wire? The one I bought from Oatley Electronics is specifically designed for making static grass applicators and you will definitely get great results with that one. Hope that helps a little. Cheers Luke.

[@DaveT9Gt]

Thanks for the answer. Is there a website where I order it ?

[@dzikowskir]

+DaviRelli Channel Hi, check my question to Luke. I have found 3 wires generator, but the one with maximum 9kV output. IONB2 generates 15kV so, much higher voltage. It looks IONB2 is not possible to buy, or have you managed to?

What the most asked question here is the unit is called : IONB2 NEGATIVE ION GENERATOR MODULE . Go to oatleyelectronics.com//product_info.php?products_id=915 They are In NSW ( new state of weirdos ) They Sell $14 AUD , ship for another $12AUD which equals about $19USD depending on the exchange rate And I would recommend drilling the holes @ 6.15min ,in the pipe before fitting the container . Stormwater PVC can fracture easier than Electrical or communications 50mm the diameter is stronger when drilling into it . To get them try an electrical trade shop

I'm not sure what components you're using but if you are using a cheap negative ion generator from china then your applicator won't work as good as the one I show in the video. I used a high quality negative ion generator from Oatley Electronics specifically designed for making grass applicators.

[@Juanthepanda]

Luke Towan I bought it of Amazon so I don't its know the quality

[@Potts2k8]

Wait, so if the negative ion generator is the most expensive part of the build... Where can I pick up a circular saw for

[@shadowblack1987]

IDK if people can justify to DIY them when they cost $30-$50. Buying the parts seperate seem to run people around $40...

[@Emersonac]

In other countries, they are 100$ and up. Be glad you live in a first world country, I wish I could say the same.

[@deafhero]

Deaf3279 maybe I'm deaf but I don't give shit about that. if you don't like that. then... got off that video.

[@gothicaradio2621]

@David Platt plz be nice @Deaf3279 You can ask for a translation or caption at the maker of this vid

[@Philip747]

There, I just submitted a subtitle for part one for review. Hopefully you'll be able to see it soon! :) I'll try to get the second part done as well - if no one beats me to it..

[@alyssawilson4197]

we hear you loud and clear bud...

[@visionsofdreams]

there are captions now, someone must have added them.

[@booda51]

to bad these measurements aren't in inches

[@funoff3207]

I know they actually make sense

[@TheAndreyars]

Can we buy it somewhere?

[@LukeTowan]

I don't sell them but I'm considering making a few to put on eBay??? Not sure yet. But 'Oatley Electronics' in Australia sell the Negative Ion Generator and they ship over seas. Cheers Luke
