V2 Rocket engine 1: Recycled Materials

V2 Rocket Engine: 

exploration of form and function

"I decided that I needed to do something practical to look at the form of the V2 Rocket Engine, so I decided to create a model of the V2 Rocket Engine using found and recycled objects that I found at home."

• yoghurt pots
• straws
• beads

creating my Recycled V2 Rocket Engine

  This is the basis of my Rocket Engine, it is made out of a yoghurt pot, the top section of a plastic bottle and a pringles lid. 

I then used beads to add the details of the tube connectors that connect the engine to the fuel supply.

I added wooden skewers onto my model to continue the shape and form of the model.

  

I then used wooden dowels to my structure, as another component of the V2 Rocket engine.

 

My completed recycled version of a V2 Rocket Engine.  

"I found by making a copy of the V2 Rocket Engine out of random objects I was able to properly look at the shape and form of the rocket engine as I had to find recycled materials that follow the same shape or can be manipulated to form the same shapes as featured in the V2 Rocket Engine."
