The Super Awesome Micro Project: A full sized Lego car, with an engine made from Lego that runs on air. It is the brainchild of Melbourne entrepreneur and marketing guy Steve Sammartino (twitter @sammartino) and Raul Oaida (twitter @rauloaida), a self-taught teenage technology genius from Romania who Steve met on the internet. Steve crowd funded it via twitter with a single tweet:https://twitter.com/sammartino/status... Super Awesome Micro Project Factoids: - The engine is made from standard Lego pieces and runs on air! - The engine has four orbital engines and a total of 256 pistons. - More than 500,000 LEGO pieces. - Top speed around 20-30km (We drive it slow as are scared of giant lego explosion) - Built in Romania and shipped to a secret location in Melbourne. - It's a Hot Rod design, mainly because hot rods are cool. F-ing amazing! [video=youtube;Vsa6QnYar24]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vsa6QnYar24#t=17[/video] [YOUTUBE]Vsa6QnYar24#t[/YOUTUBE] |
HOLY SHIT!
But I don't remember moving parts being part of lego's. Not like those engine pistons I was seeing. |

I wonder if they lube up the moving parts. |
I'm going to change my middle name to "jipped".

It looks to me like the car is actually a steel framed car covered in legos. I base my guess on the front spindle, steering gear and what looks like a covered single leaf spring front suspension from this photo
