Make It Move Rolls-Royce Pearl Jet Engine
Hi, so I'm a student at Lawrence Middle School in New Jersey and while I was at home I was beginning to get bored until I came across this contest. So I decided to join with the help of my dad in the dimensions of the engine itself. Just to let you know I am very fascinated by engines of all types and how they work. So this contest has been a challenge for me since I never really made anything like this but it's worth a try. So please vote for me! I would really appreciate it. Thanks!
Get the Fan Blades Made
So in this step all I really did in this step is get cone and made a custom shape that looks like the actual fan blade and I just placed that shape around the cone.
Making Gears
So I made some gears that I will be needing since the fan needs to move. The entire engine will be powered by a crank handle that I will be integrating on the side.
Add the Second Fan for More Thrust
So In this step I added the second fan since the real engine does have 2 fans. Another thing I added is a spacer in between the fans so they don't break by bending and hitting each other.
Putting on a Hollow Cylinder
So in this step I put a gear at the front (Same thing as the actual engine) and then I added a hollow cylinder around the first filled cylinder so that the inner one will be able to spin.
Making the Crank Handle Gear Mechanism
So in this step I will be adding all the gearing for the crank handle on the outside which will be used to spin the fans.
Building the Outer Body or Shell
In this step I built the outer body for the engine as you see. By the way if you notice that grey piece sticking out, that piece is going through a hole so it can move freely in that hole. The reason I have like that is because the crank handle will be right there so it can power the fan.
Inner Supports
So in this step I added all the inner supports to hold everything in place. By the way the body of the engine has been hidden in this image.
The Crank Handle
So in this step I added the crank handle so the actual thing will spin.
Adding the Front Curve
So honestly I don't know what this is called so I'm just going to call it the front curve. So it's literally the back part where the thrust comes out and I just made that a lot smaller in length and a little bigger in width to cover up the entire front.
Fitting the Supports
These supports are there so the handle can spin and also to keep the engine itself in place.
Finally Making the Rolls Royce Symbol
So I just made the symbol pretty small since I don't know how big it is on the actual engine.
