PROJECT PINBALL WHIZZARD

OUR PROJECT

With our project, we aim to achieve a faster and more reliable transportation system within the University of New South Wales campus. The system is a simple zipline and pod system which will use a rocket propulsion to jettison people to their destination. This, we believe, will ultimatly lead to a much more productive, efficient and entertaining system for transportation around and through the University.

Initial Design Ideas

Initial sketches of the design, for Project Pinball Whizzard, detailed a netwroked system by which pods would be shot across the campus on a rocket powered pod. The pod's design took some time to generate and finalise, however, areas such as pop culture aided in its finalised structure. Internally, the pod was going to be quite spacious; housing up to 5 or more people, contrastingly this idea was scraped due to the enourmous size that the pod would have to take up. Instead a comfortable four seats was finally implamented.
