SketchUp 3D Challenge #177 - Hot Air Balloon

Monday, 27 May 2013 - Thursday, 06 June 2013


The hot air balloon was the first successful human flight technology to take shape. They generate lift by heating the air contained inside the balloon envelope to increase it's buoyancy in the atmosphere. They are typically moved about with wind but may employ other technology for propulsion in the form of airships.

The only requirement for your hot air balloon is that it must only use heated air for lift and not be filled with pressurized gases such as a dirigible uses. It can be made in any shape you choose as long as it can hold air without being sealed shut.

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.

Classroom
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A classroom is a room in which teaching or learning activities can take place. Classrooms are found in educational institutions of all kinds, including public and private schools, home schools, corporations, and religious and humanitarian organizations. The classroom attempts to provide a safe space where learning can take place uninterrupted by other distractions.
