Popsicle Bridge Competition 2014

Enjoy watching the 2014 Popsicle Bridge Competition, presented by the Northeast Community College Drafting Department. With four camera angles, including a GoPro above the bridges, and crystal clear audio under the bridges, this is a MUST watch!

I wish I got to go to a community college and do this. You guys are so lucky. It makes me sad. I was literally crucified, this looks like heaven

[@keithb6717]

So you went to a catholic college...

[@popparock6506]

one question.. WHY THE JEOPARDY THEME ON REPEAT?! .. its enough to drive one mad!

[@RoleyChiu]

the guy that made the decision to include the music has very very very very very poor judgement.

[@kevinolver39]

You got that right

[@patrickpiculell1742]

Correct

[@normbograham]

great job. Would be interesting to review footage, and try to improve.

[@uwumicster4726]

God the miusic

[@irszgatti]

I'd have watched this but the music....if I were on that stage I would not have wanted to hear that

[@jarexmat6228]

If they understood shear and moment their bridge should have different configuration...in a simply supported structure, the highest moment is at the center and zero at supports...therefore the strongest part of the bridge should be at the center. they should made center of the bridge deeper and stronger...

[@ARON_1100]

What about shear?

[@SanaagSomaliland]

Absolutely.

[@MrAaronunite]

So intense!!!!

[@randomvideos466]

If this bridge design was invented 300 year earlier we probably save so many trees because this type design is Perfeks for railway

[@cannonsovercharged]

With footage of failure from the side they could have analyzed the failure mechanism of all these and improved. Is it material failure in shear, compression or longitudinal? Connection failure? Who knows.

[@thatoldbob7956]

Of course the first one, the most conservative one is the winner, for UDL only though. The second one puts wood in compression at max. Shear ????? The third one puts moments into the chords and using longer wood compression members.?? Please, back to basics, remember you can't push a rope and water runs downhill.

[@Bog-Istina-Spasenie]

Какой же максимальный вес был нагружен? (Я не знаю языка.)

[@AlexBabcock-hw9iz]

Without the music and speed up until the failure would of made for a lot better video. Spread out over the span isn't as interesting as a single point where the weight is placed. And what were the design parameters? One girl had a structure that went down to the floor, using this logic I could win the next Kentucky Derby by using a Suzuki 250 dirtbike as my mount of choice. That girl might of taken 1st if they had enough round weights those pieces of rail were pretty bad.

[@AVERYhornyMrDinosaur]

damn, Leann's bridge ate its wheaties this morning, they kept running outa weights! O_o

[@Zozik333]

How many sticks are you allowed?

[@dextermata8354]

That’s insane, incredible hahaha

[@npaconstruction]

did the glue fail, or design

[@sharkbite5744]

Shame they took so long putting the weight on! May of gone more she may of got first place.

[@cmpphilip]

Wrong music should have been the Cornel Bogie March

[@binaryglitch64]

Are you allowed to rip, cut, carve, drill, and sand the popsicle sticks?

[@binaryglitch64]

I ask because if it's graded on weight ratio (itself to how much it can carry) than if done right, you can literally shave weight... without compromising the structural Integrity too much... allowing more bracing for the same weight.

[@jakobandstepha]

obviously not a greendale community college student!

[@7165025]

Why they don't use water as a load?

[@AVERYhornyMrDinosaur]

@Punisher they tried that in japan, and then a tsunami happened when the first bridge broke

[@thepope2412]

Because metal plates are easier and put on

[@lionelroulier4214]

the too weak counter-arrow of the bridge causes its ruin. The care of making the assemblies should be better done, similar to a 1:1 bridge

[@brigniallen4619]

6:38 WHERE'D HE GO!

[@SuperHalo222]

can you please elaborate

[@npaconstruction]

seems to me he had perfect design

[@tylergarris9472]

One thing I saw that hurt the bridges is the weights wasn't stacked straight up they was at an angle

[@nPcDrone]

More like Lisa Woah!

[@Pauluz_The_Web_Gnome]

That music....realy?

[@GhostlyDelinquent]

That Spelling, Really*?

[@lionelroulier4214]

Do not throw your experiments in the trash after the static resistance test. you still need to figure out what the breaking points are and fix the weak spots, maybe. learn how to precisely place the cameras for your sequence analysis in milliseconds like with explosives, maybe.

[@user-nh2xr3qu9e]

OMG

[@user-nh2xr3qu9e]

😱

[@cannonsovercharged]

I like the symbolism of the garbage can stuffed with broken bridges

[@cannonsovercharged]

Miley laughs at your puny bridge

[@jeffreybail353]

So who still lives on a spinning 1000 mph ball after do the research??

[@cormacsmall9442]

Literally everyone

[@npaconstruction]

lol nevermind

[@shelleysaenz2934]

Xd

[@jeffreybail353]

The earth is flat, all self conducted experiments, observations and human senses say we live on a flat plane!

[@obzelite]

jeffrey bail explain how the higher you go the further you can see. No need for self conducted experiments, just walk up a mountain and explain why you can see further than on the ground.

[@jeffreybail353]

Thats a natural testable observable experiment Obz of course you can see more and further mainly due to: 1.Your vantage point has been raised means you are now seeing down range on to things and not scimming th surface with your eyes much less infraction more clarity from further up, less heatwave flimmering, air moiusture, smog etc that you would have to look through from a ground eye level. It is pretty self explaining and logical if you go outdoors and see for yourself.

[@justtryingtovibe_8652]

jeffrey bail why can't you see mount Everest from ny

[@jeffreybail353]

why cant you see a penis/fanny over/through a fat stomach Sealevel has no curve No one can provide any evidence for water curving... Gravity still is just an idea a theory, there is no magical force pulling things to the ground!

[@zacg.2384]

jeffrey bail you're stupid. How do you jump and not fly away
