Bunsen Burner

This build is a loving recreation of the staple in science laboratories: the Bunsen burner. Named after Robert Bunsen, the German chemist who invented it back in the 1800s. While its use has seen some decline with the introduction of heating mantles, it is still an essential part of school laboratories and the teaching of science, which is why I think it is such a suitable model for this STEM contest.

The model consists of 193 parts in total. Both the tap and the collar of the Bunsen burner can be rotated freely to simulate turning it on or off and switching the flame type respectively. The larger orange flame represents the safety flame which would burn at around 900 Celsius and occurs when the air hole is blocked by the collar. The smaller blue flame represents the roaring flame which burns the hottest at 1200 Celsius when the air hole is completely unobstructed. The flames are interchangeable and rotate freely.

The model was designed and rendered using Bricklink's Studio.
