Ok guys, freshman in engineering UNI right now, have to connect

You are in school to learn.
Figure it out.

>WWYD?
Compress it.

>>1053703
cut to shape so they fit exactly together and then glue them with woodglue

>can't even figure out basic shit on his own
>doesn't even try

The future of engineering.

....A bisected triangle?

Are you dumb or something? Or did you just terribly describe what you wanted?

>>1053703
real engineer here. i charge 200$ an hour for shit like this.

>>1053703

Hm.. For something simple, small and light maybe use popsicle sticks for the truss with wood finishing nails for the pinned connections. (Drill holes .010" smaller than OD of nails)

Good luck

>>1053703
Weld together some steel rods and then wrap the paper around them.

>>1053908
Your idea is shit.

>Also trying to keep as light as possible.

Hollow metal tubes filled with helium.

Go look at how triangular towers a made.

>>1053703
Being a freshman you probably have some nice new books, try reading them. You won't get anywhere in engineering unless you can get yourself started. If the basic concept of load transfer is beyond your comprehension you should quit right now.

>>1053703
Carbon fiber tubes.

>>1053712
Underrated

The purpose of the exercise is to see yourself fail miserably so you stop being a naive little cunts.

>>1053703
Draw a free body diagram and figure it out.

Wouldn't compressed helium defeat the point of weight reduction as compared to standard atmospheric pressure air?

He should put a light motor with a rotor on it to create enough lift to all but neutralize the weight, then hide it all under paper shielding.

if your supposed to figure it out yourself, why would you go to a school in the first place?

hint: to be taught

>>1055539
No, you go to school to get a piece of paper that says you're capable of doing certain things. Clearly you're not being "taught" at school if you're asking 4chan.

So apparently you go to school to get certified, you go to 4chan to be taught, and you want to know how you learn shit? Like really really learn shit?

DO IT YOURSELF! JESUS IT'S THE NAME OF THE FUCKING BOARD!

okay build me a large hadron collider, dont look up anything information by anyone else ever while your at it
