More than that. Double looped! (Not a spiral) each in the opposite direction. I have a photo at home that I will post of it.

bobsled track used at the Winter Olympics?

ms355 · 02-07-2008, 07:57 AM

The Kawazu Loop Bridge. You are great, zOOmz.

I tried "erhöhte Struktur Japan" - and it worked.

So what are the loops for?

gaining altitude in a small area

Everybody probably knows about this but since it goes with the thread's theme and will help you waste time, here it is.

Post which ones you missed.

zOOmz · 02-07-2008, 06:04 PM

Here is the photo of the top side of the loopy bridge.

Beanie · 02-07-2008, 06:09 PM

I thought it might be a Mobius bridge!

luxige · 02-08-2008, 02:12 AM

This is probably too easy (but it's a cool structure):

Looks like a flood gate for a dam.

which ones? What, like the zOOmz radish one?

( couple of days ago)
Do you know how many avatars I have used in five years?

Neither do I. Probably at least a thousand. So what do I do with them now?

Maybe I will put them all together in miniature, into one picture and post it.

Is it part of a bridge mechanism, like a cantilever?

That would be cool. Just don't make them into a composite of a creepy geisha doll.

BTW, what was that one a couple of days ago, an insect or something.

Looks like a HUGE vehicle elevator. The center part on the arm looks to rotate and stay level, as the arm gets rotated from the top to the bottom. Then the vehicle is transported to the other level. Crazy looking way to do it.

Hmm.. Maybe a way to do a "lock" to raise or lower a boat? I don't see a road connecting to it. That would also explain the sealed like box on the bottom. It would be full of water.

Icedog_16 · 02-08-2008, 12:46 PM

I swear I saw a show on this. I think it's some kind of lift lock for boats. Yep, it's the Falkirk Wheel.

zOOmz · 02-08-2008, 01:02 PM

Wow that is really cool looking!

Ronnie if you are talking about yesterday, that is an art theatrical rock act called Mechanical Moth.
I love creepy stuff, what do you expect?

I try to use a variety of things.
I am thinking of choosing one avatar and using that.
