I would like this project to be a functional swan neck wing that somewhat resembles a Porsche GT3RS wing. If the wing can withstand the vehicle operating at 140+ mphs without excessive deflection I would consider that a success. I also do want to paint it nardo grey and finish it with a 2 step…

PROGRESS I started creating renders for my wing. This was done in a solidworks assembly. I will be using an e423-il airfoil with a 40 cm chord. Using a high Reynolds number and an operating speed of 120 mph I calculated about 250lbs of downforce. The uprights will be made out of 6061 aluminum and…

I have further researched a swan neck wing design. I plan on using an E-423 air foil using a 40cm chord length. This is because of the reynolds number I have calculated to be rather high in the 1 million range. At this range an angle of attack from -5 to 15 degrees is optimal.…

My personal aesthetic falls between Bruce Lee fighting Kareem Abdul Jabar and the Tokyo Drift Asian villain. I think this aesthetic has grown on many and that is why they mod their cars to have obnoxiously loud cars and cars so low that the exhaust scrapes on the ground. I think watching movies like Fast…

The vision for my project was to make a Wall E out of metal. I thought that since we were doing an upcycle project, a robot that collects trash would be a perfect piece for this project. The Aesthetic I chose for this project was steampunk and dystopian future. These both fit into the movie…

Since the initial publication of this blog post celebrating the Upcycle project and the creation of Wall-E sculptures through welding and scrap metal, there has been a notable divergence in creative directions among enthusiasts. While the Upcycle project emphasized the repurposing of materials and environmental consciousness, a counter-movement has emerged, advocating for a different aesthetic…

  Update: Since the initial publication of this blog post, the upcycling project to bring Wall-E to life through welding and scrap metal has garnered significant attention and praise. Creative minds from around the world have been inspired to embark on similar endeavors, using discarded materials to create art that not only captivates the imagination…

In a world where recycling and upcycling are becoming increasingly popular, creative minds are finding innovative ways to breathe new life into discarded materials. One such endeavor is the transformation of scrap metal into a beloved movie character – Wall-E. In this blog post, we’ll delve into the fascinating world of upcycling through the lens…
