Giant Ferris Wheel Crash

Sorry about the music. WMG would not let anyone see it with the music so I uploaded it without it. This K'nex Ferris wheel took about a week to build. It is 13 feet, 7 inches tall with a 13 foot, 2 inch diameter wheel. The supports and all that was needed were made at home out of 100% K'nex (no steel axels). Then we brought the pieces to the Rockfish Valley Community Center Gym to set it up. The Ferris wheel actually took 3 times to make the right way, due to too much weight on the axel. Finally we strengthened the axel and lessened the weight of the wheel and it worked. We had a lot of fun using the 10,337 pieces to build it, but we probably had the most fun watching it fall.
