Drill charging station. Materials, chainsaw, and battery from Blendkit; everything else is me.

I actually built one of these for myself, IRL.

I thought everyone was gonna go for the “typical” things…clearly not a one. lol

I have an Idea if someone wish to build upon that, I am lazy so I will not be submitting for this challenge, I don’t even know if My Idea is good enough or not, just want to test my instinct, The Idea is its exterior scene, a forest kind of scene or may a single big tree and it has a charging socket and everyone around it, may be humans connected with strings to it, taking charging from the trees. I hope my idea is imaginable, my English is a bit weak so I don’t know if I have explained it in nice way or not.

It seems like one of those AI type of ideas. But Its an interesting idea. But in my opinion I will go with overgrown abandon, rust power lines. And i mean those big ones. Also to fit the the theme of “charge” Probably the forest is on fire or someone getting electrocuted, with the bolt visible.

But still if that your idea you should do it. Its something productive than being lazy and you will learn something along the way, honestly.

A few weekends ago I did a potato that I don’t think anyone recognized as a potato. So these here are my redemption potatoes. Hopefully they are clear enough, otherwise expect more potatoes the coming weekends…

Title: Ohm Grown

Non-competing

The cables were made with a node setup that I’ve been working on over the last few weeks, that creates cables and positions them with the XPBD solver. The rest is new for this challenge.

Open entry

@Helge ah yes, good old science class! Way more interesting than history or math, but art class was still more fun…

Nice entries everyone!
