Functional Paper V8 Engine
glitch0 writes "This V8 Engine made entirely out of paper with the exception of a few parts (motor, wires, etc.), is fully functional. It features many moving parts which include "a compound crankshaft, a rapid cooling fan, 8 rods, 8 pistons and a complex compound gearbox etc." The engine is powered by 2×1.5V D Batteries and weighs 2.98kg. From start to finish this model took one year to design and construct. There is even a D.I.Y. kit in the works that will be released shortly at the price of $85 USD. What comes next...a fully functional car made out of paper?"
Don't click on the link above; it doesn't give any more information than what's in the submission. Go to the source and get more information there.
This V8 Engine made entirely out of paper with the exception of a few parts (motor, wires, etc.) Wait wait wait! The engine is made entirely out of paper...except for the motor?!? Motor != Block. Engine == Motor. Damnit, man.
