The other 2 members from the boom are connected and hinged to the tower- the long side is 3 times the length of the short side, This means whatever is attached to the tip of the long side moves 3 times faster than something atached to the short side. That’s why I can fling the sheave (the pulley wheel) so easily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"erector set catapult\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BLtqmmrXQPw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next was an elevator. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Again I kept the crane base and used the 4 members of the boom to build a tower. I put a sheave on top and 2 more sheaves to redirect the line (string) to the windlass. Finally I added a small cardboard box which hangs from the end of the line with a passenger (tape measure) inside and presto– an elevator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"erector set "elevator\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/T3mH11GNn1I?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now comes a single tower cable-stayed bridge.

It’s easy for trucks to bring material to ,say the west side of the gorge, but there are few roads on the east side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One option is a Hi-Line. You build a tower on each side of the gorge, make sure it’s well braced and then string a series of strong cables between the towers. Now you can hang a “trolley” from the cables. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"using a "high line" to build a model bridge\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/frCvBsQVxhY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new Crooked River Bridge is an arch bridge in Oregon. The arch is made up of a number of concrete segments. Starting from the cliff sides, they poured concrete 1 small section at a time, slowly working their way (from both sides simultaneously) towards the center. So how could they support these heavy sections? They ran cables from the temporary “stay towers” to the ever advancing arch members. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now look at the “guy towers”. The guy cables supported a sort of trolley that was used to move material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"724\" src=\"https:\/\/cloudliftdesigns.com\/hammerheadcranes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/02022023150438-2-pdf-1024x724.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-321\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">LUFFING IB TOWER CRANE can be re-configured as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1-overhead crane- You see these overhead cranes in large factories where they have to move machinery and material around.
