@mdcc_tester So for idiots like me, and aside from an independently made, purpose specific vessel that goes in the middle. Is it a good idea or just a vanity piece?
Chak-
It's not just a vanity piece.
Oh no.
This is so much more than just a vanity piece.It's a beautiful vanity piece handcrafted by an artisan. Can you not see the mug dangling in potentia? The instagram likes just waiting to be clicked?

Jokes aside, it's a nice exercise in engineering but there are probably better ways to get the same result.

Just wanted to show (with some back-of-the-envelope-typed-during-a-coffee-break sums) that you didn't need anything too crazy to sustain that kinda load.
Also worth noting that this is a classic plane-stress situation (ie very thin walls) so you only really have the axial load to consider. Would be interesting to see how much the load of the rider etc cancels with that of the internal pressure...
