Burning Life 2008

[Elfod Nemeth]

In anyone else doing anything at Burning Life this year?

Here's what I built...

It's a huge lava powered clock. A drill extracts lava from the ground, the lava travels up a pipe that splits - one path goes to a sterling engine the other to the top of the machine. The lava at the top goes into some chutes that fill tubes numbered 1-12. If it's approaching 6 o'clock tubes 1-6 fill, the fill level indicating the minutes. At the hour, the tube opens dropping out the tubes that filled and the lava hits the ground and explodes, the tubes close and the tubes for the next hour start filling.

Good build Elfod, and look forward to seeing a full demo of the finished item tonight.

You didn't mention that when viewed from above-looking-down, the shape of the build forms the Burning Life logo.

Lets get some footage of it tonight, using the Space Navigator. Please select some music that we can put down as a soundtrack.

True, I did forget to mention that!

Thanks debs, filming it would be great :-)

I plan on packing this beast up on Sunday and moving it my sim and refining it over time - I have more ideas of things I can add to it, but ran out of time to add them all for BL.
