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
![Screenshot 2020-05-25 at 11.46.30 AM.png](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FCK/LL6O/KAMI6CN8/FCKLL6OKAMI6CN8.png&filename=Screenshot 2020-05-25 at 11.46.30 AM.png)
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
![Screenshot 2020-05-25 at 12.18.58 PM.png](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FR4/2YB7/KAMI6EMB/FR42YB7KAMI6EMB.png&filename=Screenshot 2020-05-25 at 12.18.58 PM.png)
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
![Screenshot 2020-05-25 at 6.43.14 PM.png](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/F72/U9TU/KAMI7T9V/F72U9TUKAMI7T9V.png&filename=Screenshot 2020-05-25 at 6.43.14 PM.png)
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
![Screenshot 2020-05-26 at 3.43.07 PM.png](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FWJ/06A5/KANXMYWA/FWJ06A5KANXMYWA.png&filename=Screenshot 2020-05-26 at 3.43.07 PM.png)
![Screenshot 2020-05-26 at 3.43.31 PM.png](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FJD/PWRY/KANXMYXB/FJDPWRYKANXMYXB.png&filename=Screenshot 2020-05-26 at 3.43.31 PM.png)
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
![Screenshot 2020-05-27 at 1.33.48 PM.png](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/F66/IBHE/KAPD2O2M/F66IBHEKAPD2O2M.png&filename=Screenshot 2020-05-27 at 1.33.48 PM.png)
![Screenshot 2020-05-27 at 1.34.08 PM.png](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/F1D/7862/KAPD2O2S/F1D7862KAPD2O2S.png&filename=Screenshot 2020-05-27 at 1.34.08 PM.png)
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
![Screenshot 2020-05-28 at 8.48.05 PM.png](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FNM/J96U/KAQSHZI5/FNMJ96UKAQSHZI5.png&filename=Screenshot 2020-05-28 at 8.48.05 PM.png)
So in this step I added the crank handle so the actual thing will spin.
Adding the Front Curve
![Screenshot 2020-05-28 at 8.50.17 PM.png](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/F73/J110/KAQSHZKP/F73J110KAQSHZKP.png&filename=Screenshot 2020-05-28 at 8.50.17 PM.png)
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
![Screenshot 2020-05-28 at 8.55.00 PM.png](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/F69/P9E4/KAQSHZRL/F69P9E4KAQSHZRL.png&filename=Screenshot 2020-05-28 at 8.55.00 PM.png)
![Screenshot 2020-05-28 at 8.54.52 PM.png](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FLS/2KEH/KAQSHZRM/FLS2KEHKAQSHZRM.png&filename=Screenshot 2020-05-28 at 8.54.52 PM.png)
These supports are there so the handle can spin and also to keep the engine itself in place.
Finally Making the Rolls Royce Symbol
![Screenshot 2020-05-28 at 10.11.14 PM.png](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/F8M/HPRV/KAQSI15C/F8MHPRVKAQSI15C.png&filename=Screenshot 2020-05-28 at 10.11.14 PM.png)
So I just made the symbol pretty small since I don't know how big it is on the actual engine.
