Functional Paper V8 Engine

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the powered-by-pulp dept.

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?"

    Seriously, it's a dupe from BoingBoing. Plus it doesn't really work since the gasoline would leak through the paper.

    A rusty trombone is what your mom takes before bedtime. I'd know, after all. Who do you think makes her grunt like a hog?
