Who knew you could HAVE sex like this?
 
Psyche!

Now that I've got your attention, I need some advice from people who know something about architecture.

I have to build a little wooden tower that supports weight (max about 33 pounds). Basically, the base necks in for 15 cm and then the rest of the tower has to fit through an 8 cm hole.

One weight is put on the top, and then a string goes down through the middle and holds up all the other weights. What is the best design for load-bearing?

One more thing:

So it's not a total waste

I respect this man.

I cant really help. Doubt you'll get much.

If that's your tower, i dont think it could hold that much man, try to like make the bottom more sturdy and things like that. Or superglue?

Dar_Win 2005-12-30 06:28 PM

I think the bottom could be stronger.

Use steel

Lot's of triangles. If you have a lot of triangles then you should be fine. And that's all I remember from Tech. Oh wait...and our teacher managed to cut his thumb off.

"This is how you use a pen-knife kids...OH MY GOD!"

He also crushed his fingers with a metal ruler...ah, fun days. :)

So yeah, lot's of triangles.

I say make it an H... You just get all the weight in the center and have 2 support towers on the sides of it.

Lenny 2006-01-01 04:57 AM

An A would be better. With a H the middle beam could buckle and fold in two, dragging the rest of the H with it. With an A however, it the bottom is fixed to something, and is strong enough the middle beam can't buckle and fold in two as the slanting sides won't let it.

Triangles again.

Your all failing to realize:

He has limitations, thats why my idea is supreme.

Cross design where they all eventually loop backwards.
