Apple machines continued

A few more ideas for the apple machines:

1. nanobot ants that can carry a the weight of an apple. release an army of them into the orchard.

2. Large Hadron Collider apple wormhole picking device: Create worm holes close to the apples, superimpose a mini black hole to suck it in, transport to N-th dimension. At a supermarket, use another Large hadron collider to open up another wormhole to the N-th dimension. Drop apple onto store display from N-th dimension... ok, way too crazy. :)

Here are few more detailed drawings of some earlier ideas:


For the Canada Arm design, the evolution of the idea would basically vary in terms of # of arms, cargo holding, placement of arms, and form of locomotion. For novelty, I've kept the basic form of the shuttle. :)







































Robot with Pneumatic Tubes: This idea would eventually evolve into the ultimate apple picking robot. Destructo (the robot below), stores apples in his belly. If the orchard becomes a target of an alien invasion, he can reverse the flow of his pneumatic arms an propel apples at scary speeds towards the aliens.




















The You Pick Juicer by Dr. Seuss, picks apples, makes juice, and makes children happy.
