Engineer Aliaksei Zholner has designed a
miniature V8 engine almost completely from paper, the exception being scotch
tape to prevent friction. It is so tiny that it fits inside a small plastic
egg-shaped container. He has
posted several videos that show the progression of the construction of it which
took several months. He recently incorporated a paper throttle that controls
the speed of the shirring device using compressed air. Go here for this and more
videos, including a previous model made from a v6 engine.
If you understand all this engine-compressed air-throttle world, you will find many videos to view and enjoy. I confess: it's all so not in my world. But I love the art of it: the intricacies of making something so small work enchants me. So I hereby nominate this adventure into the small world made of paper as a perfect addition to All Things Arts.
