We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember saying something like: From another place .. http://www.designboom.com/contest/vi...m_pk=10307&p=1 Eye-catching, but a ******* to clean. Typical art student bodge, too - he could have used copper. If you inspect the inside you'll probably find a month-old sock. -- Dave GS850x2 XS650 SE6a "It's a moron working with power tools.

And I dont see speedy flow happening in such a design. But unless the tubing is very thin you're going to get air pockets. NT |

Not sure why.... Exactly. I thought it was ugly, impractical, less efficient, hugely more expensive and vastly less reliable than a standard pressed steel rad, and no sign that even one brain cell has been deployed to figure out the practicalities. It must be an architecture student. Stick a designer radiator label on it and he'll sell loads. |

Not sure why.... Exactly. I thought it was ugly, impractical, less efficient, hugely more expensive and vastly less reliable than a standard pressed steel rad, It might be most of those but 'ugly' is a subjective opinion. I don't think it's ugly - but I think most cars, for instance, are ugly. Most houses. Most radiators, come to that. It must be an architecture student. More likely a design student. It shows innovation. Such projects aren't supposed to be suitable for production, they're about exploring - and stretching - ideas. Mary |
