SketchUp 3D Challenge #179 - Human Powered Vehicle

Monday, 17 June 2013 - Thursday, 27, 2013

View Challenge Entries

Human powered vehicles are some of the most basic forms of transportation that we see everywhere we go. Some have been reduced to a novelty of the past while others continue to be used despite modern advancements in technology. These vehicles are not limited to operating on land as they also can be found in water and in more rare circumstances, in the air. Believe it or not, even submarines and experiential helicopters have been human powered although their success has been fairly limited.

For the purposes of this challenge, your entry must be powered solely by the human body as its means of propulsion and control. Human powered air and sea vehicles cannot use sails or any other means to aid in propulsion other than wings that generate lift and it must still work without the aid of wind. On land, gravity may assist but cannot be relied upon for propulsion. In other words, if it is on flat ground it must still work.

Standard Participation Rules apply. Thanks to Golden Sim for the challenge suggestion.

Thursday, 06 June 2013 - Monday, 17 June 2013

View Challenge Entries

Without farm equipment, a lot of the food we depend on and enjoy would be hard to come by and even more expensive than it already is. There are many categories of farm equipment each performing specific tasks for every crop including traction and power, soil cultivation, planting, fertilizing & pest control, irrigation, produce sorting, harvesting, hay making, and loading,

In this challenge you are free to model any type of equipment used on a farm you choose as long as it performs a task in farming.

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.
