Sitting around the campfire at McDragon we had a lively discussion of squarish things Airgate can transport in his Element. So we thought, make it official with a list we can all contribute to.

The Element's maximum cargo capacity is 74.6cf. Post your suggestions here....

Just a few items:

409,284 Legos

815 Yoga Blocks

4302 VHS Tapes

358 Family Style Lasagnas

 

brian out of town again?


and um 1875 bottles of

 

1525 Mac Minis

 

3 Element prototypes


(kid sold separately)

 

How about:

2'000


or 4,000


or 4 very pissed off...

...trying to have a ''private moment'' in the back of an ELEMENT!

 

257,816 Sugar cubes




Just as sweet as Raul....except (maybe) with BBQ waitresses !

 

So, how do you fit a ROUND peg into a SQUARE hole?

 

I had only scrolled down enough to see the S on the lift, and I was thinking, "Huh?!?!".

Then I scrolled down a little more...

 

 

74 cubic feet. That's and interesting number.

A standard cord of wood is a pile that is 4 feet tall, 8 feet long, and 4 feet deep, which has a total cubic foot volume of 128, but would only be 74 cubic feet if it were a solid block.

You could carry two of these:

but they still wouldn't be as cool as mine.

You could carry one of these in its box, but you'd have to take it off the pallet first:


You could carry all of photographer Martha Cooper's work (10,000 images, 74 cubic feet), one of the largest and most important folklore collections in New York City.

Or, more practically:
Record Group 129 of the Records of the Bureau of Prisons

Records Description
Dates: 1875-1978
Volume: 74 cubic feet
Records of McNeil Island Penitentiary, Washington. The records relate to prison activities and inmates, and include inmate case files, daily staff journals, expense records, inmate and prison staff publications, an institutional master plan, and prisoner commitment logs. Nontextual records include "mug shots" of inmates and other photographs. You might find some pictures of relatives!

Or, if you decided to trade cargo for sound, you could add this 74 cubic foot sub enclosure:


Or back to the wood theme ( i thought of you this afternoon when i saw a (square) scion and OMG it had woody decals on it and i thought i wonder if raul would like square decals too and then i slowed down for a turn and OMG his tag said HEY WOODY and Raul was looking for a tag for his *ELEMENT* but no its already taken cuase the scion has it but raul wanted something with s2k in it and <SLAP>. Thanks, Sheila. I was about to get carried away again. )

But back to wood, did you know that every man, women and child in the US "consumes" about 74 cubic ft. of wood each year. That wood comes in many forms from construction lumber to furniture to tissue paper to packaging and energy. If the 74 cubic feet were dry Douglas-fir, it would weigh over 2300 lbs.! (USDA Forest Service Gen. Tech Report FPL-GTR-116, 1999) so you could take your whole annual wood requirement in one load!

BUt the best news is, you don't have to think of ways to fill up your Element on your own. Just ask anyone who has one of these:

or one of these:

or one of these:

or one of these:


They all have exactly 74 cubic feet of cargo capacity and will have some good ideas for you!
