SolidSmack: Get Your Shweeb On: The Story of the First Human-Powered Monorail

  • Rod_Uding · 3 months ago
    An amazing story of what one can do by designing in 3D. I can't imagine how long it would have taken to this entire concept by doing it entirely in 2D

    That looks very cool and fun, a great idea.

    Schweeb, Vuuch, these names make me think when my daughter was 3 and said a lot of words backwards, like tikee (kitty) and nufis (music)

    yeah, we all know now where they get their name ideas from. What I really find cool about this, besides the design aspects, is the speed you can get. Would be a blast through a forest setting? (thinking speederbikes)

    Great idea for a race track. I don't know if it will stand up to the sanitation realities of public transportation.

    you mean like 5 bums found dead in a shweeb pod? yes, it will have to be highly monitored in the large cities. some areas, you would have to contain the pods in a tube - just too good for target practice.

    It remembers me a belgium cartoonist: Franquin.
    His anti-hero Gaston Lagaffe invented a device named "monorail", for his office...

    A 3D model can be seen here : http://www.siteduzero.com/forum-83-124595-p3-se...
