This Australian science teacher managed to create a hand sanitiser dispenser from bits and bobs he found around his house.

To protect his family from COVID-19 Jacob Strickling uses the window wiper mechanism and battery from a car, a wheel from an office chair, bits of wood, a pipe and a kitchen stool to build his machine.

He also makes his own alcoholic hand sanitiser from aloe vera plant and methylated spirits which he puts into a plastic sauce bottle, which then fits in the dispenser.

The footage filmed on March 18 shows Jacob's kids test out the machine by pressing a foot pedal which sees the soap released from the container.

Australian Science Teacher and YouTuber builds a Hand Sanitiser dispensing station which can be turned on by a foot switch. To protect his family from Covid-19 Jacob Strickling uses the window wiper mechanism and battery from a car, wheel from an office chair, bits of wood and pipe and a kitchen stool to build his machine.
He also makes his own alcoholic hand sanitiser from Aloe Vera plant and Methylated spirits (95% Ethanol) which he puts into a plastic sauce bottle, which then fits in the dispenser.
Strickling was surprised at how well the device worked and his two youngest children had no problems using it as well. He thinks its important to have a device operated by foot switch as this minises contact from the hands on the plunger of a normal bottle of hand sanitiser.
