cantilever

As the sun set on a cloudy evening in Times Square on Friday, a 65-foot-long frankfurter cantilevered into the sky and spewed out a blast of rainbow confetti.

They also feature the construction of a 20-storey tower, cantilevered above the neighbouring Grade-II* former Great Eastern Hotel, new office and hotel space, and works to the station including more lifts and escalators.

When the cantilever is placed on one of the nanoparticles, a current is passed through its tip to measure the conductivity.

Where the top level extends cantilevers out to create a covered porch, it is supported by a pair of tree trunks that Austin’s builder, Kaplan Homes, found washed up on the beach.

Originally built to mark the millennium, the cantilevered observation wheel has become one of the capital's most popular tourist attractions and is the focus for London's annual new year fireworks displays.
