Em 30 de agosto de 2015, os alunos de Design da Mauá, com o apoio da Engenharia, participaram da Etapa de São Bernardo do Campo da Gravity Car Race - Corrida de Carros de Ladeira.
One of the real catches with designing stuff for telescopes is that gravity doesn't always point down. This instrument points anywhere from straight up to only 20 degrees off the horizon. So "down" can mean a lot of things.
We were testing a new filter change mechanism, and needed a way to simulate gravity on the moving parts. The filters for this weigh about ten pounds each, so we needed a way to mount a force gauge to the side of the instrument so we could repeatably introduce a ten pound load.
I got to spend a little time building the mount for this. It was a good day.

Gravity, Seismic Ray and Stasis are sculptures that aesthetically come together to advance a new plateau for the art of bronze. In these three dimensional configurations which explore the FOUNDATIONS OF SYNERGY, Snowden establishes her own vocabulary in describing energy pattern phenomena and laws of physics that permeate the universe. Through a singular focus on the possibilities of gravity-pour lost wax bronze, the sculptor has been able to transform abstract contemporary science into an art of lustrous physical vitality and spiritual connection.
Gravity, as a sculptural meditation, expresses M.L. Snowden’s central idea that the very substance of humankind, stars, planetary masses and bronze are created of the same interrelated yet differently arranged elements. Just as humankind is the expression of the physical universe, so is bronze metallurgy a celebration of these same integrated forces; indeed, for Snowden, the working processes that heat the bronze foundry are mirrored in titanic geological phenomena happening deep within the earth’s core.
Using no models or references to express form, Snowden has invented a composition that invites us to contemplate Gravity in multiple ways.
In the sculptor’s visual language, the lower figure can be thought to embody Gravity - in its free fall suspension, the lower tier creates the illusion that it is exerting the full force of its downward weight upon the bronze structure. The upper figure opposes being brought down by Gravity in an affirmative action that seems to strive toward the light. Indeed, this upper portrait is riveted on the heavens. Reviewing the sculpture, the lower figure exerts a downward force while the upper lifts skyward on limbs that clutch and depend upon the lower tier. Within the braced hands lies a nexus of condensed power. Here, Gravity and its effect is described as a synergistic union of elements. The sculpture suggests a balanced scale. In looking over these compositional oppositions, it is possible to see the program and intention of the sculpture reaching out. Here are written anabolic and catabolic forces at work through all the universe and creation; in this bronze, yin and yang, life and death; the central striving of humankind are intimated. The composition describes a state of being beyond a struggle: it is an eternal portrait of humankind’s will toward ascendency against all odds to the point where both figures within the composition rise in floatation and elevation. In Gravity, we may indeed see something of our own will to succeed. Here within the bronze is an expression of sustained achievement. Within this meditation, humankind is defined by its opposition. Within the portrait of the balanced scale, Gravity is necessary to the formation and sustenance of humankind.
Gravity is based upon a mathematical calculation that allows the entire bronze structure to almost float, ultimately almost defying Gravity. The total weight mass is mortised on the smallest cap of extrusion that is possible to support the structure in connecting the bronze to its base. Snowden’s Gravity is defined by myriad negative spaces within ever changing alignments that in certain lights, cast shadows on walls, speaking of the mystery of forces that while seemingly immaterial, wield powerful influences on the world.
From important roots in the Paris studios of Auguste Rodin and Antonin Mercié, Snowden brings to Gravity the glowing luminous platinum Fournier Patina and the touch of the historic Rodin tools that were used to shape the dynamic planes of the sculpture.
ABOUT THE ARTIST...
M.L. Snowden is a third generation protegé of the great French sculptor, Auguste Rodin and the inheritor of Rodin’s sculptural techniques and original sculpting tools, which she uses in her own work. Her sculpture has been shown in museums around the world and is in the permanent collection of The White House. Snowden has received numerous awards including being named the world winner of the 1992 International Rodin Competition in Tokyo, Japan. In 1989, at the age of 36, Snowden was awarded the National Sculpture Society’s inaugural Alex Ettl Grant for “Lifetime Achievement in American Sculpture.” Snowden’s commissions include the Main Altar of the $200 million Los Angeles Cathedral.
On March 31 2012, I was given the privilege of being able to ride on the Ffestiniog railway`s gravity train as a specially-invited brakesman..
It was an unique experience for me having the sensation of riding down on these wagons from the summit at Tanygrisiau power house to Minffordd, something that my grandfather could well have done when used to work at Maenofferen quarry.
My sincere thanks goes to Peter Dennis & Iain Wilkinson for making it possible for me to undertake this unique experience.
Image created using particles obeying certain "gravitational" laws. Mostly variations on "accelerate toward/away from some particle unless some condition is met, in which case move toward/away from some other particle".
Made with processing (processing.org).
160 particles under gravity in a square grid. Please notice the light areas where forces tend to cancel. The only place where the intensity of the gravitational field is zero is just the center of the grid.

My character is such an emo biiiiiish <3 so while he's all upset and anguished, I too this picture. it fits his mood. The song for it can be found here:

She used her hands to push the oxygen molecules below her down at a speed greater than the force of gravity itsself, causing her to float in mid air...
Photoshop: Darkened the image to -40, contrast +20, doubled layers, gaussian blur 10px, erased my sister out of blurred layer to show her in focus, set blurred layer to overlay blend mode.
Then on recommendation of 100 points group comments I added this edited version on top of the original version in a new layer, erased my sister out of the edited (too dark) version. Made the top left and right corners of the image a bit lighter to remove partial vignetting and selected the whole sky, cut it out of the other layers and pasted it in a new layer, set opacity of that layer to 50% so that the original sky (less dark) would shine through the edited sky a bit more.
This latest series of photos was taken in Kiel, in the North of Germany where my grandparents live. We went to the beach and I suggested to make jumping photos. I had never expected some of them to turn out this nicely.
A2 986 decends Glenroy Bank towards Oark Park with an UP shuttle. The 1in50 gradients eliminates the need for any power as can be seen at the rear of the train as K153's safties blow off. 11/11/2017
