NEOBALLS / ZEN MAGNETS - Neodymium Magnetic Balls (@4205) - Starcraft II's Massive Thor
This is my most complex and largest build to date.
It was designed in parts: Cockpit body, then legs, then arms, then rear guns. Then I had to redesign parts when it came time to assemble it together because of incorrect bonding assumptions and misalignment of magnet fields.
Experimented with x-beam coupled bonds to get the maximum lateral strength with reinforcements on the sides. This proved to be very string. Created a X-Beam using similar methods producing a very strong leg structure. It was capable of support the entire weight of the cockpit body w/o a problem. Had to redesign the leg to cockpit body mount point from the earlier concept because the bond was not completely coupled.
Next up were the arm/guns ... the weight was too much for the cockpit body to support so I fashioned a pair of lego-platforms for them to rest on and take the weight off of the central body.
Finally ... the rear guns ... these were a challenge in that their original mount point design had to be reworked also to make them fit correctly into the rear of the cockpit body. I changed the mount points on the guns to fit the space on both sides and added a few support balls to improve the mount point bonds. I was very surprised how they were balanced and supported only by two point sections to the body. The guns stayed in place for a small series of photos.
The design flaw was in the side bonds of the beam to the legs. The coupled field held nicely for a short amount of time and would have held if it didn't have the weight of the rear guns to support. When they were standing upright and straight, all was good. As soon as I attempted to move the platform forward (to take a video), the rear guns tilted slightly backwards and and that was the end of the leg to body support bonds ... and created the dreaded implosion.
The rear gun weight caused the entire central body section to rotate backwards and fall back on the rear guns ... taking the arms in the process. Perhaps I should have created a Lego-support structure for the rear guns to remove the pendulum force backwards ... but that would have created another view blocker like the side Lego-platforms obstructed the view of the legs and feet. Not sure if I can recreate it for a rotational video ... this took over a week (on/off to design and assemble).
Overall ... I was very happy with the result ... hope I captured enough detail to warrant some visual recognition as a Starcraft II Thor reproduction/interpretation.
This was design and built for the Zen Magnets Contest 26: The Massive Thor

Wasn't super happy with the original. Much happier with this. Got the idea from Heavy Gear having protective shielding on mechs with jump-packs.
Bulked up the legs a bit too.

Hofburg Michaelertrakt
Michaelertrakt
Famous dome
In his monumental outline to redesign the Hofburg Johann Lucas von Hildebrand in 1724 provided a large semi-cylindrical structure at St. Michael's Place, which was surmounted by a dome. For cost reasons, the overall planning was badly received by Emperor Charles VI. Joseph Emanuel Fischer von Erlach had to design three new projects. They contained for the time being no central dome. Finally, he began with the construction of the Winter Riding School adjoining wing of the building, but this remained unfinished around 1735. Later pictures show a half-finished, to the cornice progressed rotunda. The whole thing gave a somewhat ruin-like impression. Under the following Habsburgs the provisional status quo was maintained. In place of the left wing of today's Michaelertrakt was namely since the times of Emperor Ferdinand I a small ballroom in which the Court society played badminton. Maria Theresa in 1740 allowed the Court musician Johann Selliers to convert these sports venue into a comedy house, which should be at disposal both the Yard and the High Society. After several renovations, it had in 1760 found its final shape. Here was almost 130 years written theater history and cultivated the famous Burgtheater German. The Hofburgtheater was a meeting place for the Viennese society. The royal box through a corridor was connected with the imperial apartments.
Michaelertrakt
1888, the last performance took place. Shortly thereafter, the theater was demolished. Meanwhile, it had been replaced by the new Burgtheater on the Ringstrasse. Only now was the chance to close the gap between the Hofburg Imperial Chancellery Wing and the Winter Riding School and erect a representative portal. The already 72 years old castellan of the castle Ferdinand Kirschner took on this task, basing himself on the plans of the architect Joseph Emanuel Fischer von Erlach, which after the construction of the Imperial Chancellery Wing remained unimplemented. Nevertheless, the door building of St. Michael's tract is an independent work of the late historicist Viennese Ringstrassen era. It was strongly influenced by unexecuted designs of Nicolaus Pacassi (1769) and Carl von Hasenauer (1888 ). Construction work was completed after four years of construction 1893. As building material largely Zogelsdorfer sandstone was used. By the end of the monarchy, the St. Michael's gate served as the main entrance to the Imperial Palace. Only in the year 1919 the passage for public has been opened. In the years 1987/88 an extensive exterior restoration took place which was followed by an interior restoration of the dome in 1990.
Michaelertrakt
The Michaelertrakt limits with its concave wings the southeast side of St. Michael's Square. It extends between the Winter Riding School and the Imperial Chancellery Wing. The large central dome and two side domes give the building an imperial expression, so that hardly any of the always numerous photographing tourists would hit upon the idea that with it only 25 years before the end of the monarchy a centuries-old provisional solution was removed. Art historically more significant than the two wings is Michaelertor (gate). The huge Rotundenbau (rotunda building) is Vienna's largest passageway. The main cornice of the portal building is supported by four fluted column pairs. The large groups of figures on the parapet above it were created by the sculptor Johann Benk. They symbolize the three virtues that every ruler should possess - justice, wisdom and strength. Just above the main gate are the by two genii supported imperial coat of arms of Johann Silbernagel and a building inscription attached. The entrances into the rotunda are flanked by four giant Heracles figures that stem from different sculptors (Edmund Hofmann, Anton Paul Wagner, Johann Scherpe and Josef Lax). They correspond to the Heracles groups that created Lorenzo Mattielli at the castle yard side. Already Fischer von Erlach had provided at the curved fronts on Michaelerplatz large niches for monuments. Kirschner here had two monumental fountains of Laaser marble attached, whose sculptures should symbolize the power and glory of Austria. The "power at sea" at the facade to the riding school was designed by Rudolf Weyr and the "power on land" at the corner to Schauflergasse by Eduard Hellmer.
Michaelertrakt
The powerful, with sheet copper covered dome over the rotunda looks like a giant emperor's canopy. It is decorated with gilded valances and is illuminated by barred oculi (Ochsenaugen, bulls eyes) inside. Their height is 54 m outside and inside 35 m. Similar designed but slightly smaller are the two side domes. In addition to the thoroughfare for the wagons and the cars, two large side portals for pedestrians lead into the rotunda. The upper part of the driveway is completed by a high-quality hand-forged decorative lattice. On the walls of the left pedestrian entrance the "welfare of the Emperor" (Providentia Augusti) and the "hope of the fatherland" (Spes Publica) are represented allegorically. The right passage shows the "piety of the Emperor" (Pietas Augusti) and the "loyalty of the people" (Fides Publica). At the left side the former stage door of the Old Burgtheater was preserved as a window. To St. Michael's square, in the passages two groups of figures can be found, the "departure of the ruler in the war" by Otto König and the "Victorious Homecoming" by Stefan Schwartz. From the large circular hall two staircases lead into the two adjoining wings up. The Batthyány staircase is named after Karl Graf Batthyány, a general of Prince Eugene, who later became educator and lord chamberlain of Emperor Joseph II. It led till the fall of the monarchy into the offices of the dreaded Lord chamberlain's office. The opposite Feststiege (grand staircase) is an imposing, späthistoristische (late historicist), three-arm staircase. On the ground floor is on the right the entrance to the eye-popping exhibition rooms of the royal table and silver chamber and the Imperial Apartments. On the left, in 2003 a new foyer for the Spanish Riding School was created. In the exit to the Inner Castle yard stand in pillar niches four groups of sculptures the mottoes of the Emperor Charles VI, Maria Theresa, Joseph II and Franz Josef II symbolizing. They originate from the studios of the sculptors Anton Brenek, Richard Kauffungen, Franz Becher and Josef Beyer. The rooms on the piano nobile of the Michaelertrakt are equipped with gilded stucco ceilings and doors from the turn of the century. Three paintings by Josef Fux in magnificent oak-wood frame show the pageant for the silver wedding of Franz Joseph and Elisabeth.

In fall 2012, DOT cut the ribbon on a comprehensive redesign of Manhattan’s Delancey Street on the Lower East Side. One of the latest in a series of safety projects citywide, the project shortened pedestrian crossings at 14 locations, increased pedestrian space and crossing time, and enhanced signal timing and travel lanes for vehicles entering and exiting the Williamsburg Bridge.
The redesign adds more than 21,000 square feet of pedestrian space along the street, restricts several vehicle turns and also makes travel lanes more consistent. A new vehicle access point at Clinton Street also simplifies the connection from the FDR Drive, eliminating the need for vehicles to travel through residential streets to reach the bridge via Norfolk Street.
