A paper V-8!
This is the most extraordinary thing I've see in a long while. It's a meticulously crafted model of a V8 engine.
Made of paper. And it runs!
The model is powered by a small electric motor at around 3-4 rpm. It was developed by Montreal artist Yee, who creates
remarkable things from paper. More after the jump.
Yee?s website has Quicktime videos of the motor in action.
Check it out!
