08WheelEnergiadi

A human-sized wheel, over two metres in diameter, built from segments of curved plywood and mounted on a galvanised steel frame with rollers: whoever steps inside makes it turn by walking or running, like a gear.

Built for Energiadi, the 60×60 tube and 8 mm plate frame was welded and drilled to a technical drawing; the wooden ring was assembled and tensioned in the workshop. The videos show the assembly of the segments, the first rotation and the test with people inside.
