Paper Model : Working Gas Powered V6 Engine , Incredible !

I've always had a fascination for origami and the creative things people can do with plain old paper , animals , flowers , working V6 engines.... Ok perhaps not V6 engines , well until now that is.
The video bellow was posted by a chap who has made such a creation , a working V6 engine powered by air , the only concession he made was scotch tape on the sides of the pistons for understandable reasons.


How cool is that ?

Nice.

It even has a patterned rumble like an old harley engine.

I just don't see Tesla giving up quite yet tho.

How cool is it?

Exactly as cool as it looks!!!

Thats really fun, i realise when you say air powered you just mean hes using air to run the engine backwards - as if the expelled expanded gas after the ignition lights comes out, hes running it back through to prove it would work forwards.

Of course with his paper version... might not run for long with real gas explosions hehe!

That guys has some skills.

If this guy who created this paper engine has any children, I bet their school science projects are awesome!!!

I have seen people build some odd ball stuff with paper, but this is a first!

That was beyond cool!
I can see calling it a gas powered engine. Air is a gas.

Impressive.

But I'm sure it uses a number of non-paper bits (drive shaft, conrods & etc).

Still, fairly wonderful.

It says on his channel it's a V6 engine fully made of paper so nothing added , even more impressive.

Pretty neat... I see that the point where the balloon attaches has a mini camshaft inside, which is opens the doors (valves?) to each passage that leads to each cylinder head. So the air from the balloon is pushing down the piston, which rotates the crankshaft and cam, which opens another door (value) to the next piston.

Cool stuff.

Very cool!
