								This is a life-size 
								model of the Energy Storage Center. It is built 
								for demonstrating at trade shows and 
								presentations. The model looks exactly like the 
								real unit, except it is a model, which is 
								lightweight, easy to transport and to handle, 
								yet very durable. For some controls and 
								indicators we used the actual fixtures, these 
								which were available off-shelf, other elements 
								were carefully replicated.We employed rapid prototyping methods as well as 
								CNC milling and, of course, traditional 
								fabrication. The model, accompanied by custom 
								transit case, was shipped directly to a trade 
								show in Detroit, where it made a great 
								impression.
