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?"
Paper CPU's.. well, not from Intel even if they might do things like: travel bags, luggage, school bags, back packs, beach bags, duffel bags, fanny packs and umbrellas. Also for t-shirts, beachwear, cardigans, infant rompers, suits, scarves and neckties. And mugs, and sports bottles as well as stuffed toys, plush toys, dolls, bean bags, games, and Christmas tree ornaments. Oh, and keyrings.
/. is good for you.
