Paper engine

This is insane! Guy made a tiny V8 engine entirely out of paper, and it runs! Seems to be just like a G10 in that you have to set the timing at what looks to be a tooth off for it to run well. B-) Posted Image

Wow! That's pretty far advanced.

That is very impressive. If I wasn't so lazy I would try to build one.

Pretty neat. And while Paper does cover Rock, hands down, in the realm of "Rock, Paper, Scissors, I.C.E., Battery", I.C.E. still beats Paper, and Batteries, when charged economically, still beats I.C.E, every time.

And while some, naysayers mostly, might find the potential benefits to them and their longevity, degradeable, the actual benefits of an all Paper Engine would be two-fold, as companies, like Nissan for example, could have teams of origamists, making loose-Leaf, engines. It doesn't take a genius to read between the lines to see the potential benefits in that. No sir. :news

pretty cool and certainly much better than I could make, but the exhaust must route out through the crankcase as I only see intake valves. sorta like a sleeve valve engine, or reed valves for the exhaust. and yes I am nit picking but the cam spins at the same rpm an the crank. but still much better than I could do and pretty neat!
