Crush testing Calder electric
I set out to make cases that were extremely strong as well as light and pleasing to look at.
For some time now I've been thinking about how to provide some visual indication of the strength.
So today I went to the local Bentley and Rolls Royce dealer and asked him to lower one of his autos onto the Calder electric case.
This auto weighs 2,000kg (2 tons).

So how much weight can the case actually handle, 250kg?
From this test a rough guess is that the tyre is exerting a force of 1/4 the total weight ie 500kg.
We are planning some more tests this year which will provide more data on the crush resistance and drop protection the cases offer, we'll publish results of the tests on the blog and on our website
