shanenin Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Some days I have all kinds of ideas and motivation. Today(past several days) I woke up and have felt a little unmotivated, bored. I just found my self a little project. It seemed to spark me :-) http://www.wikihow.com/Coin-Stack-a-Penny-Bridge Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JDoors Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 I'm not quite that bored, but I did have the time to peruse the site. Cool stuff (and some silly stuff). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hitest Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 here is my creationI'm uncoordinated as all get out:-) If you don't mind me asking, how long did that take shanenin? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blim Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 How long did it take?!?!? I'm still trying to figure out how Shanenin built it in the first place! (glue? ) Amazing!!Liz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shanenin Posted July 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Thanks guys. It did not take too long, maybe a half hour or so. Once the bottom layer was finished it was just as fast as stacking more pennies. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chappy Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 LOL!!Only proves that an Idle Mind is easily entertained...Actually, it is cool, and it's all very simply done with basic physics. Of course, this coming from a one-time engineering and physics student...There's no real trick to it once you have a close look, and the final "towers" on top of either side are quite necessary for overall stability. You actually could continue building up from there again, so maybe shanenin will grace us with an updated pic of a "QUADRUPLE" bridge setup!!!! (hint-hint)Go Young man....GO!

blim Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 You're an enabler and a bad influence, Chappy...I'm proud of you. Go young man, Go!Liz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDoors Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 ... You actually could continue building up from there again, so maybe shanenin will grace us with an updated pic of a "QUADRUPLE" bridge setup! ... Ooooo! First, that does look surprisingly cool. But yeah, a double-decker bridge! Or how about having six towers in a hexagon (rather than just two of them opposing each other) with connecting bridges between them? How about building that up several stories? Git yerself in the Guiness book of world records maybe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
