LEGO Education - SmartCity

[laix]

Hey,

I was really busy over the last months and wasn't able to build any models in my free time. But luckily I get paid to build at work where we made several projects over the last year. One of the major tasks was to build a model to display several options to generate and store electricity. Some of you may are familiar with Isogawas great GBC "smartcommunity" and we wanted to transform this idea into a real working power generator. Therefore we used ten Renewable Energy Add-On Sets (9688) and four NXT 2.0 to control everything.

The video is in german, an english translation will follow soon, as well as a pictorial overview on my blog.

Hope you like it.

Best regards,

laix

I don't like it!

I love it

It's nice to see NXT combined with a GBC. And I love the fact that it has educational value as well. Nicely done!!

Wish I could build during work hours

Wasn't that model displayed on Ideenpark 2012 from Thyssenkrupp in Essen, Germany too?

This is off topic but I am just wondering what is the length of the string on your mobile crane?

It's about 1 m long, I think it's from the Rescue Helicopter 8068.

I've also uploaded some pictures of our SmartCity.

Edit: Sorry for the large photo, changed it.
