Soaker 2.0, “Wettling”, Sunday morning warmup. Stopped modeling at 30 minutes and rendered and composited for the next 35, just going over the time limit.
Inspired by MasterBlaster Iron Man chest repulsor comment, and distant memories of something from “The Mask” with every attempt to make it non-weaponized in appearance, (aside from the spherical pressure tanks of Biomarine’s MKI5 rebreather origin)
The nozzles don’t rotate, but the stream is cycled through the nozzles for a wider contact patch.
@MasterBlaster, modeling is done mostly in Rhino and rendered in Flamingo with a macro for all the views.
@sanjyoo9, apologies for the similarity of arm mount concept.
@Smartworks, District 9 rocks, the Weta workshop sells reproductions of the movie props, really cool stuff. Tribute in this design are nine nozzles and the inclined nozzle pressure reservoirs .
@fede21us, great sketch, the pogo concept is brilliant.
