Paper V8 engine runs on air

Jan. 14, 2016

One creative YouTuber has engineered a working V8 engine made entirely from paper and scotch tape.

What comes to mind when I say the word "engine"? Do you image a hulking piece of twisted metal with gasoline running through its veins? Well, one creative YouTuber has engineered a working V8 engine made entirely from paper and scotch tape.

Watch this video to view the paper V8 motor in action.
