| Nuclear submarine as weather vain | ||
| This idea proposes to install a huge submarine on top the Tate modern's chimney stack. The sub will be coupled to the brick chimney by a large thrust roller bearing allowing to follow the wind. The propeller will also turn generating electricity for the gallery | ||
| Date of design/manufacture: 2006 | ||
| Design tools: AutoCAD/3D studio max | ||
| Materials: Nuclear Submarine, Tate modern | ||
| Features: Revolving Nuclear submarine which follw wind | ||
| Weight: 200 tons Submarine/ Tate modern 1,000,000 tons (approximate) | ||
| Dimensions: 100m x 15m x 20m |

| Bezier | ||
| The project Bezier is an unfurled steel coil strip that winds
its way through a space. Bezier was a French engineer who worked for the
car manufacturer Citroen, he devised the mathematical system for reproducing
spline curves later none as Bezier curves.

In this version of the project the steel coil is un rolled down the side of a mountain by helicopter! Steel coils are available in lengths are to 30,000 feet (5 miles/ 8km) so there is alot of potential for interesting sites. |

| Manufacturer: Steel coil supplied from Calstip metals | ||
| Materials: Stainless steel strip | ||
| Weight: 2-3 tons | ||
| Status: Visualization prior to fabrication |

| Dead head Image Sean Nguyen | ||
This installation project entails inserting a shipping container into a space barely able to accommodate it. In order to do this the container must be broken into pieces small enough to enter the building. Dead head is the name for shipping containers that arrive from the far east and get stuck in the country of destination. The cost of buying a new container in China can often be less than returning the original container.
