They gave him $20,000 to build a car out of Legos. Here's what he came up with.
http://www.upworthy.com/they-gave-him-20000-to-build-a-car-out-of-legos-heres-what-he-came-up-withInventor Raul Oaida wanted to build something that would capture people's imaginations.
Ultimately, he decided to build a car ... with half a million Legos. The result is absolutely amazing. Check it out here in this interview with The Adaptors:
The fact that it's a Lego car is awesome, but that's not even the best thing about it. It's that it actually drives — and it's emission-free.
Oaida was able to achieve it using a technology that not too many folks know about: compressed-air engines.
