humm i hope this is the right place.. if not let me know !

I think it'd be nice though to just post 1 image, then the link. The problem is that alot of people only have the individual images, not a source for them, so attaching is really the only convenient thing to do. But can't you attach stuff but make it only read as a text-link?

[raghav gupta]

hey can any1 tell me a llink to a nice mechanical model

plz mail that link to me at raaghav.cg@gmail.com

I took some photos, too. Not great quality as most were snapped from the train.

[Olof]

Maybe someone can do something with these. I haven't for shure...

Mixed quality, theme and file size. Apologies.

I admit I'm not completely sure. I believe it's some kind of german monster made for changing God's will. You can find more info if you google for 'tagebau' (german for "Crusher of Worlds").

It's also the first result if you google for 'big machine'.

Oh shit! It's that thing! I've seen pics of it before.

Oh man, it's so fricken sweet. Multiple orgasms.

"Especially large bucket-wheel excavators, over 200 meters long and up to 100 meters in height, are used in German strip-mining operations, and are the largest earth-movers in the world. These tremendous machines can cost over $100 million, take 5 years to assemble, require 5 people to operate, weigh more than 13,000 tons, and have a theoretical capacity of more than 12,000 m³/h.

Specifically, the RB293 bucket wheel excavator manufactured by MAN Takraf is recognised by Guinness World Records as the largest land vehicle." - Wikipedia

I was looking up Honda's ASIMO for some robot reference and inspiration, and also discovered ASIMO's prototypes, the E-series and P-series robots. It's quite a neat metamorphosis from the earliest prototype to the final version.

Wasker, COOL pics.

Is that robot real? What does it do?

That's Bagger 288. A giant excavator and transportation device.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bagger_288

You get some nice images of similar machines if you search for "bucket-wheel excavator" (which is what Bagger is) on google images - Link. (http://images.google.co.uk/images?q=bucket-wheel%20excavator&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&sa=N&tab=wi)


This (http://www.28dayslater.co.uk/forums/index.php) is worth looking at for some beautiful photos of derelict and abandoned places, usually restricted access sites not open to the public like industrial sites, underground tunnels, military sites, asylums and hospitals, etc. It's fascinating AND there's some epic references to be found!

I just uploaded some photos of found mechanical objects to flickr. Hope someone finds them to be useful. They are nice and big, too.

You have to weed through the volumes of images but there are some incredible ones in there.

Hello!

As the German, I went ahead and searched for Tagebau. It's a mining site (definition) with INSANELY large machines.

German Wikipedia: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tagebau

English Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-pit_mining

However, those are just peanuts to the quality provided here:

http://www.fam.de/deutsch/Produkte/Tagebautechnik/index.html

This is a german site, so I will present you a visual guide to navigating the page:

Picture 1: Those are the main categories. I have tried them all, every single category has high-quality pictures of something.

Coarse Translation:


Tagebautechnik - Open-Pit Mining Tools

Lagerplatztechnik - Storage Space Tools

Aufbereitungstechnik - Packaging and Preparation Tools

Verladesysteme - Transportation Tools (Via Truck or similar)

Fördertechnik - Transportation Tools (Via Pipes and similar)

Hafentechnik - Naval/Port Technology

Komponenten - Components


Picture 2: In the middle are the sub-categories. Please don't make me translate those, even I have no damn idea what half of those things are xD They are big and mechanical, okay?

Picture 3: As far as I can tell, every subcategory has downloadable, high-res pics to save. Just click on the floppy on the right side of the screen which I've conveniently highlighted. Keep scrolling, there might be more. Lots of categories to choose from too!

You're done! Just make sure you don't download the clips unless you want to (they will have a movie strip below the floppy).

Oh Great Its seems like Giant Robert !!!!

Robotics technology trends


When it comes to robots, reality still lags science fiction. But, just because robots have not lived up to their promise in past decades does not mean that they will not arrive sooner or later. Indeed, the confluence of several advanced technologies is bringing the age of robotics ever nearer - smaller, cheaper, more practical and cost-effective.

For me I teach about Robert from

LOL! this thing is mind bindingly immense. :D

[Cozmo]

I've always been intrigued with the design of firearms, and just as fascinated with how they're modified for use in films or games. A great site with lots of useful pictures is the Internet Movie Firearms DataBase: http://www.imfdb.org

Like I said, lots of nicely detailed pictures as well as screen caps from hundreds and hundreds of TV shows, movies and video games.

[HAJiME]

I posted this in the creature topic as well, but I thought these macro photos of spiders might be really useful for robot design due to the way their bodies segment and their eyes and stuff.
