Solar ice drilling machine

Dann-O · 06-02-2010, 03:38 PM

OK thought it might be fun to join the challenge. This is a solar assisted mechanical drill the concept is that there will be water heated up the make the drill cut through ice better now I am working on the drill head.

comming along quite nicely. how many minutes in are you?

Dann-O · 06-02-2010, 03:54 PM

About 15 or so not much. Radial symmetry is fast in Wings other things might prove to be problematic.

TNTxGRAVE · 06-02-2010, 03:57 PM

what software are you using?

Dann-O · 06-02-2010, 04:06 PM

Wings 3DOpen source box modeler works pretty good for quite a few things. It is the best modeler in my budget.

TNTxGRAVE · 06-02-2010, 04:13 PM

how much does it cost. because for a relatively cheap price you can get the student version of 3d max or maya. Thats if you are a student.

Dann-O · 06-02-2010, 04:50 PM

Open source it is free of any cost. just download it. I have been looking into a version of Houdini like that but right now I use what I got. I render in Messiah for most things in bryce occasionally.

OK more done about 15 minutes on the tires here.

OK about 90 minutes into it i have to put the two parts together and all that yet. But here is what I have so far.

Thanks it is something that will be towed more or less doing more details about 130 minutes into it now.

Making a control section for it and a few more details and it will be ready I will assemble the parts and make it work I hope.
