Airship - design

[Miko]

Hi all, here is my model of airship what I have created two weeks ago as christmaspresent The result of whole work was just one picture in high resolution. And finally was created the puzzle from that rendered picture.

Modeling time: 6hours


Rendering time: 1hour

cool... Those propellers are mathematically correct?

 

[rudresh.hm]

really great work

i like the blades' reflection pattern and the merging of blades in to the hub.

 

[Miko]

Bart: it was just design so there wasnt any calculations and mathematical parameter needed.

 

[design-engine]

I see you used ISDX in there too. I wonder if any aerospace engineers out there would disapprove. Because really all that is important is the cross sections. ISDX just blends between the cross sections.

 

[Miko]

I could do that blend with BB too but I would need define inside transient curves as you know (am sure you know) and I was really in rush when I was working on that model (6 hbours of modeling whole thing and assembly with kinematic analyses and fewanimations)so I just used style super feature to make theblend betweenthose cross sections because of time. As I wrote above, the result ofwhole little project was just one rendered picture and created puzzle from that in A3 format... so no need to take it very accurate

or with profi engineeringtechnique (it wasnt manufactured ... )As weknow,thereal propeller is about mathematical properties of crossections,continuities atleast in G2 I think, dynamicand statit stability and many many other things... real one is much more complicated..The developement of the propeller is about yearsof workingofexperts .. they are working with heavy weapones like Fluent, Nastran and so on...

I got some first hand experience (watching of course) Fluent in action.Takes a while and those consultants charge tall cash ... even during the recession.

My daughter lives in Prague BTW... you get to spend any Euros yet or is that later?

[Miko]

yes I already spend some euros ... we have got euro here in slovakia from first january of this year. The calculations of euros reminds me my 4 months in wisconsine in summer 2007.. I was working there as lifeguard in theme and water park http://www.mtolympuspark.com/

what a fun was there....

Cool stuff Miko. nice work !!


The bad UK

 

[dougr]

What does "mathematically correct" mean ???

 

[Miko]

dougr: I just wanted to say that the propeller blades on my model wasnt created as it is required in real lifedevelopment of propeller. It was justconceptual designe.

 

[Triple-Ess]

This is a great piece of work especially concept and Rendering.

 

[Miko]

Thank you

Skint, you drank guiness in france!!! bad move dude, they are wine and larger drinkers, ales and stout is just for the tourist to them. You must have been up in chamonix, pints are 5/6 euro up there, but a Vin Chaud is nearly free!! Go figure.. I'm heading there in march for 2 weeks, looking froward to sticking my head in the snow regarding the "bid R"!!

Yeah Guinness is quite rare in those parts but after drinking lager for most of my holiday I NEEDED a decent pint of the black stuff lol.
