Forevertron
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Forevertron is the largest scrap metal sculpture in the world standing 50 ft. (15,2 m.) high and 120 ft. (36,5 m.) wide.
Its creator, Dr. Evermor, was born Tom Every in Brooklyn, Wisconsin is a former demolition expert who spent decades collecting antique machinery for the sculpture and the surrounding fiction that justifies it. [1] According to Every, Dr. Evermor is a fictional Victorian inventor who designed the Forevertron to launch himself "into the heaven on a magnetic lightning force beam." In addition to the Forevertron itself, Every/Evermor has built a tea house from which he says Queen Victoria and Prince Albert (both long dead in reality) may observe the event. The sculpture incorporates an actual decontamination chamber from the Apollo Project, as well as dynamos built by Thomas Edison.
