Experiment 2

In my first experiment, I tried to demonstrate how different objects with different sizes/weight were affected by the explosion. In this volumetric effect of an explosion on porosity, I tried to connect the concept that I used for experiment 1. When I cut the cactus model, I left the main structure in the core of the building intact while other elements were blown out of the exterior walls. Small and light elements move yet big solid structure stands.

Explosions



Step 4 - [X & Y] % Values

PERCENTAGES

X = 31%
Y = 56%

Total Volume = 100,944

V - 31%V = 69,651

V - 56%V = 44,415

Step 3 - Final Cactus Model & Volume












My final version of Cactus Model and its Volume.
Volume: 100,944.72 cubic meters.
