"Paper Airplane Machine Gun"

Post by rainwalker » 13 Oct 2014, 6:00 pm

So the rate of fire is pretty crappy :lol: but how good is this thing... Folds the sheets into the planes and all.

Watch the video here!

WHEN you were a child, the height of your engineering ingenuity was crafting the perfect paper plane.

It needed to be sturdy, to handle multiple flights, light enough to catch the wind and designed just right to slice through the air.

There are hundreds of different designs, from the dart paper plane to the javelin to the Nakamura lock — and they are all awesome.

Well, that’s how you use to do it. Now you can throw all of that away, because Dieter Michael Krone has taken a childhood pastime and made it even cooler.

The German national has created a Paper Airplane Machine Gun that builds and churns out paper planes faster than any child could ever dream.

In the YouTube video’s description, Krone says, “A little tinkering from me that shows what you can do with 3D printers today. Most parts of this paper airplane machine gun had printed by fabberhouse.de (the rest of them are to buy via internet or hardware store.”

“By the way, I use a cordless screwdriver from China for driving.”

Looking through previous posts from Krone it is clear he is somewhat of a paper plane aficionado, building planes out of burger boxes and paper plates.

The video has gone viral this week, sitting at just under five million views and we here at couriermail.com.au wouldn’t be overly upset if the popularity of the weird and wonderful machine led to a Kickstarter campaign. It means we might just get our hands on one ...

The thing would make a good clay thrower replacement.

Test your skills following paper planes in flight :D

Have a look at the way he is holding the front of his paper plane launcher, he is holding on for grim death, thinks it might launch him if he lets it go. He looks relaxed with his stupid smile at the end, but his grip with his left hand gives him away. What he needs is to lighten up. :ugeek:
