I AM SKELETOR! SPAWN OF THE PLACEHOLDER!
well… here it is… my half @$$ed WC attempt, dont expect any votes, but couldnt stand not entering…
its my new mountain bike frame, its a Foes… i love it… and its just sorta a sorry model of it, the dropouts and most of the backend is just a placeholder for more, better stuff, but its my first even alright chrome…
so if ur into mountain biking, shout out, or even better, vote for me!
Well, I hope I will be able to make it this time. I’ll have one more free day than normal. So, mayplacehold.
bye . vooz

Uuups, didn’t find time to do it. See ya sometime. bye

Here´s a homage to the great sculptor Alexander Calder (1998-1976).
As well as being the inventor of wire sculpture and the mobile, Alexander Calder was one of the first modern artists to create monumental work for public spaces. From his earliest hand-crafted toys to his later wire portraits and dynamic mobiles, Calder was fascinated by the mechanical potential of his materials. His innovative, truly modern work – the unexpected combination of playful movement built from industrial materials – is a celebration of engineering and art. In a career that stretched to his death in 1976, Calder became one of the best-loved and widely appreciated American artists of all time.

A what??
Somthing like a Continuing-In-Motion.
Hope it’s more clear now 
Ok Im finally done. PURE Took me about 6 different styles until i finally got this one. The idea is that the pendulums on the ends are kept in motion by the magnets on the base. Each swing the magnets repel the magnets in the arms thus creating motion. The pendulum arms are connected to the main shaft on the top so that each swing of the arm turns the axle in the shaft which turns the gears, turns the generator, and lights the bulb. The round balls on top are just cool looking

It means perpetual motion
This will be my first attempt here…
Just wanted to make sure I could at least get this far.

It works like this: The fan makes waves on the water, which makes the boat bob up and down. That motion is then transferred into circular motion, which is transferred through the belts & gears. This then turns a magnet between a heap of coils. That creates a current, and the current runs the fan… voila… perpetual motion woopee

EDIT>> looks like I won’t get to it this weekend after all, scratch one placeholder.
Dude, you have a lot of time on your hands.
I thinks I’ll give this a wirl, if I have time.
You know the drill, PH
Sure, I’ll try. PH please.
OK, here it is. PURE entry. Didn’t have a ton of time this weekend, so the lighting isn’t that great. Oh well.
(c&p, it’s geocities)
REMEMBER to click the ‘fullscreen’ button (if applicable) or else it will look crappy!

Oh, and if you would like to know exactly how it works, here is a
link to the thread with a full explanation (Because I really did work out the logistics to this thing)
Ok heres how it works :
its simply really… err kinda… what happends is when the Balls fall down the ramps they generate static-electricity, which in turn is proccessed by the Extremely high tech device built into the base and is then used to power the vacuum… The metal balls are only (Metal) in appearance and are actually quite light, and made of a very special substance. So only a small vacuum is need to pull the balls up through the tube…

Vamp…
ok, here it is: THE MAGIC BUBBLE GENERATOR
The basic idea is, bubbles come out and pop creating waves of air wich are cought by the generator and are transferred into more energy for more bubbles…
here is a pic with some brown grain over it, made with ps:
I know it´s not a winner, but i enjoyed making it!
If I only had time… it is such a cool subject!!!
Well, here it is, the fruit of five minutes of labour (plus ten thinking of what to do, plus thirty trying to find the buttons on blender 2.3) 100% pure.
