This 3D model was originally built using Sketchup 13 before being converted to various other 3D formats. Its native format remains .skp, while the accompanying 3ds Max scene utilizes 3ds Max 2016 and Vray 3.00 for rendering. I envisioned a visual representation of humanity's coal mining and burning efforts annually. Starting with the total coal mined in 2007 - an impressive 7.19 billion short tons - equating to approximately 6.5x10^12 kilograms, assuming a density of 1000 kg per cubic meter for ease of calculation. This gigantic cone-shaped pile would dwarf the downtown area of San Francisco, California.
