Engineering Projects/Bridges
Idea
editBridges should be made by every engineer. There is a design competition that anyone can enter. Most model difficult bridges are made out of spaghetti. One contest pays up to $1500 to the winners.
This video comes hints how they made their bridge. It weighed around 2 pounds and held almost 1000 pounds attached to the center of the 1 meter span.
SubSystems
edit- Form for holding the spaghetti in place while gluing
- Drying spaghetti in place
- Computer controlled mechanism to break spaghetti bridges
