SketchUp 3D Challenge #176 - Internal Combustion Engine

Thursday, 16 May 2013 - Monday, 27 May 2013

Internal combustion engine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The internal combustion engine is an engine in which the combustion of a fuel (normally a fossil fuel) occurs with an oxidizer (usually air) in a combustion chamber that is an integral part of the working fluid flow circuit. In an internal combustion engine (ICE) the expansion of the high-temperature and high-pressure gases produced by combustion apply direct force to some component of the engine. The force is applied typically to pistons, turbine blades, or a nozzle. This force moves the component over a distance, transforming chemical energy into useful mechanical energy.
For this challenge you are welcome to design or model any type of internal combustion engine as defined in the aforementioned WikiPedia article. Feel free to use your creativity to make something unique and to use as much detail as possible.

Standard Particle Rules apply. Thanks to GoldenSim for the challenge suggestion.

SketchUp 3D Challenge #174 - Water Slide

Thursday, 25 April 2013 - Monday, 06 May 2013


We're gearing up for Summer (at least in the Northern Hemisphere) and now it's time to start thinking about your summer activities. This challenge is all about water slides: The popular attraction at water parks everywhere. As usual, they come in all shapes and sizes from the common backyard pool slide to the not so common 164 foot tall certified Guinness World Record largest water slide, Kilimanjaro, in Brazil.

There are many kinds of slides for you to model and you are free to create something entirely unique. (Note: Log rides or log flume rides are not considered water slides for the purposes of the challenge.) For a list and a description of the different kinds of water slides, be sure to read the WikiPedia article on water slides.

Standard Participation Rules apply. Thanks to HenkieTenk for the suggestion.
