Superheavy Transport Conceptby *MikeDoscher

DescriptionDetailsShare
Download JPG 1000 × 835
Here's the colored version of the superheavy transport concept I'd posted earlier. I colored it with an eye towards it being used to transport and load the cannister on the right side of the vehicle into a much larger structure or machine. I'm hoping to have a complete mechanical/environmental sci-fi design portfolio for the new year.

(still awesome) but from what I see - it's way too overloaded on its right side. most carriers are designed in a manner when their payload is symmetric to their axis. its hydraulic system is asymmetric too. but I'm not an artist at all, so you probably should just ignore all of this. :)

Thank you. Those are valid observations. If this were animated, it would be good to show some of this awkwardness in excessive rolling as it corners. As it stands, there are a few things that probably aren't obvious from a single static view. There is more weight than it might appear on the near side, due to both the armor and weight attached to the chassis (kind of like an aircraft tug). The suspension is also very stiff. This is designed to operate solely at low speeds on smooth, highly reinforced surfaces- essentially on dedicated roadways inside very large installations. The pressure vessel is also of lower mass than it might appear. The vessel raises onto its far end via a hydraulic erector that is obscured by the vessel itself from this angle. The end of the outer vessel open and a special lug on the crane arm engages a socket there, then lowers the vessel vertically into the reactor.

I really should do an animated version of this. :)
