Life Size Lego Car Powered by Air

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.

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.

When you get into a crash with it, you can just rebuild it without having to go to the mechanic.

I can only Imagine how freaking stressful this would be if he broke a part inside the engine.

[Trollo_Swaggins]

The fact that you made not only the chassis and body out of lego, but the engine as well is absolutely astounding

Police:let me see your licence
Driver:*shows up lego 10x4 brick*

"Dey see me rolling, they staring, wondering how the hell the car works."

So just to clarify the most eco friendly car in the world is from love this planet :D

Did you seriously add music and not let us hear that lego engine?

[asdfasdgfasd]

[mihaifrancu]

I'm waiting anxiously for Euro NCAP safety tests :)) 

[blameusa]

wow slow down buddy, nearly killed that child at the side of the road. and i bet you got no insurance!!

[Doom]

lol you just lived your childhood dream! XD

[chillbosby]

The fact that its made from lego's is all fine and dandy but I'm more concerned with the fact that it runs on air and no one is trying to capitalize on

[SakuraBlossomable]

costs of million pieces of lego = cost of the real car
even so, a job well done :)

[Cheonging]

I hope it comes with air-bags... made of Lego bricks.

[legomaniacman-Brickman]

So that's where all the pneumatic pistons went lol  

[ListeningPoint]

For as much as they charge for legos you could probably get a regular car cheaper.

[killzone]

This is how you get people to wear shoes while driving 😂

[HughMcManners]

Film spoiled by the music...  at the very least we needed to listen to the engine without distraction.   

[BuzzKillington]

Could you imagine a head on collision with that thing? Lego pieces and guts everywhere.

This looks so amazing. When I was much younger, I was dreaming to build a life size car like it was shown in this video but my dream still haven't came true yet.
