Junior.ING: Ready to be modified

Now, only a few weeks before the final date, nearly every component, is ready, and we basically only have to put them all together. A friend of mine now implemented the idea of the corpus, so that it is now made out of four different plates. One of them is … Weiterlesen …

Junior.ING: The Substructure

We finally got an answer from BayIkaBau: we are allowed to build the substructure with technical aids, since it is not included in the rating. So we now start the construction phase: First we want to build the substructure from boards so that you can open it and see it … Weiterlesen …

Junior.ING: Waiting for an answer

Our Idea was nearly ready when we discovered a big problem with the materials or rather with the supplies. We wanted to cut out our improved tunnel-system with an engraving pencil, but that would be a technical support. So far so bad. But if the given materials and supplies would … Weiterlesen …

Junior.ING: Web of Tension

The hardest part of building the tensegrity tower was finding a starting point and understanding the pattern of the structure of the 3D model we used as a reference. The strings kept shifting around at first because some weren’t attached as strongly as the others. It was annoying to tighten … Weiterlesen …

Junior.ING: Chinese Tower

We finally started building our tower by beginning with the Chinese Tower part that is supposed to go on top. By gluing toothpicks or skewers together, we formed many hexagons, which, as we know from last year’s project, are especially sturdy. You can see these in the picture below. We … Weiterlesen …

Junior.ING: Final Plan

After countless hours of consideration, discussion, and research, we’ve composed a final plan for our tower. We decided to follow the idea mentioned in our previous blog post of merging design elements of the Chinese Tower from the English Garden in Munich with a Tensegrity structure.
