These are not new. This type of arch is usually used for low head clearance, small volume situations. Especially golf courses or bike trials. I've only used the Traveling Form with adjustable feet. But anyway these are fun to build, Legos for adults.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-27955196275239267212016-02-09T08:59:28.368-06:002016-02-09T08:59:28.368-06:00Modern Romans!Modern Romans!Jacquejethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00566737254976084503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-27721726847361381292016-02-09T00:15:22.707-06:002016-02-09T00:15:22.707-06:00Peter, apologies for the off topic, this video is ...Peter, apologies for the off topic, this video is from 2007, yet still an interesting helo modification. <br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcp-NvNjnr0<br /><br />I have no idea how far the cg moved, because of the weight difference between the original tail and the new one, but will guess it's still within the original design limits, otherwise the helo wouldn't lift.

Although its hard to tell of course in an edited video I doubt that whole thing actually took very long at all once they actually got to the point of needing the truck. According to their website "With it, 1.5m of arch can be constructed every 5 minutes!"<br /><br />They also say that it can all be done using counterweights, so you're NOT limited by the size of the truck, and it can infact be built over waterways etc.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11924993310937754220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-66374358224511630452016-02-08T16:57:07.684-06:002016-02-08T16:57:07.684-06:00Impressive, though just a modernized form of the m...Impressive, though just a modernized form of the method developed by the Romans (who built wooden scaffolding/forms under their arches) and improved upon by medieval Europeans for their Gothic cathedrals.Phssthpoknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-47099448427969720492016-02-08T16:29:54.402-06:002016-02-08T16:29:54.402-06:00Neat!

I presume you could build any sized tunnel you had the blocks and form for as the angle on the blocks and the size of the rollerform would change as size changed . If you look the form is tapered rom larger in front to smaller in back , Thus it holds the arch open while the keystone is dropped in place and then sets everything snug as the truck is pulled forward .
