A giant wheel "iWheel" that people who gathered 36 iMac's empty boxes will put in will develop into a Kora Festival

Apple sticks to not only the product but also the design of the package, and the pure white and stylish empty boxes of the iPhone, iPad, iMac etc are hard to throw away even if it is no longer necessary. Mike Campadore, who is in charge of system management at George Fox University, thought that "I can make huge wheels for people to watch" by looking at the large amount of iMac's empty boxes that I had stored at the university and actually made it It was.

The way the wheel made by combining 34 iMac empty boxes actually moves can be confirmed from the following movie.

Taking the Giant iMac Wheel for a Spin - YouTube


Campadore, who came up with the creation of a huge wheel using an empty box of iMac, kept the empty box of the iMac without discarding it. Sometimes I was asked, "Why do not you recycle or throw away and throw away?", But answered "I saved it for use in a project" and the empty box reaches the required number I heard he was waiting. And in July 2015, Campadore will begin to create the wheel as the university has purchased a new iMac and the number of empty boxes has reached a sufficient number to create huge wheels.

Firstly, I made half of the wheel with 18 empty boxes.


Place another wheel that you made in advance on the wheel you created.


There are 36 empty boxes in all. Initially it was thought that 38 pieces were necessary, but when actually making it, 36 people connected with a circular shape perfectly.


After stacking the half of the wheels, we will finish using a large amount of tape.


This is the empty box wheel of the completed iMac, named "iWheel". IWheel weighs about 60 kg and the total length is about 2.7 m. It is the size that people can fit in.


It seems that you are actually trying on the completed iWheel. Hold firmly the part of the hand of the empty box ......


I will roll around and go playing.


As one train turns, the person in the wheel has fallen.


I firmly put the feet firmly into the wheel and rechallenged, and this time I could rotate without falling.


Next, I sit face forward in iWheel and challenge forward for it.


Go round and round ... ....


Great success.


Afterwards as well as having the wheel pushed by hand, we go forward with repetitive repetitions.


The appearance of playing seems to be quite fun.


Just rolling the iWheel and jumping at the right timing will let you through.


It is OK if you jump without killing iWheel.


At the end we entered inside with two people and fixed our limbs tightly.


And turn!


Because they are supporting each other, they will rotate without falling.


The state that two people are spinning is amazing, but the strength of empty boxes that can not be crushed even when two people are on there is also amazing.


However, looking at the empty box after playing, one of the empty boxes was torn.


Campadore publishes the image of the completed iWheel with the university's Facebook account. After that, when college graduates shared images with Reddit, they diffused in a matter of seconds, and the number of views at Imgur now exceeded 3.5 million times. Also, CampadoreProcessing the published imagePeople who show up are also attracting great attention.

I joined the festival with iWheel.

IWheel running over the sea is somehow surreal.
