Chakra: Inclined Cantilever Ferris Wheel

 Introducing Chakra, a  Ferris Wheel designed as a project for MetalLogic: Structural Steel Engineering Studio. Unlike any other, Chakra boasts a unique design, inclined at 30° with respect to the vertical axis. Its 30-meter diameter wheel is supported by a single supporting structure on which it has been cantilevered, showcasing engineering ingenuity. Space Trusses form the backbone of this marvel, efficiently converting all forces into axial forces for optimal performance. Chakra aims to provide a thrill and picturesque view to the users using the tilted geometry.
