Create a Drawing Machine Cont.

Here's a continuation of our drawing machine.
During the week our group met up in uni and all decided that due to constraints we should make a sightly more simple drawing machine. Therefore, these images are our final drawing machine.
We needed:
  • 8 Lemonade Bottles
  • Various amount of food coloring
  • Duck Tape
  • String/Rope
  • 2 Hoops

A lemonade bottle and a range of food coloring so we could see various outcomes.


Firstly, we tried 2 colors in red and green as you can see.



What we had done was we had mixed the coloring with the lemonade and pierced a hole on the side, this allows the liquid to flow out. However, due to the fact that this is lemonade and not water, the liquid flows out straight because of the gases within fizzy drinks, on the other hand, with water the liquid would stay within the bottle and not leak.

This was another experiment with a color that you can see more better. (Sorry about the way I recorded this)

A range of coloured substances.

The beginning of our drawing machine.

The group starting to tie and add support (duck tape).

Here is a close up of the added support.

This is what is attached to the bottles from the wood. (Below)


This is how our drawing machine functioned.
