Topic: $20 Cardboard Bike so why not a Car made out of Cardboard?
Anonymous A started this discussion 14 years ago #22,792
http://youtu.be/txSboSNQINsDespite being made almost entirely of cardboard,bike is strong, durable, fireproof and waterproof. Because it is made of cardboard, it will also be cheap. Expects the bike to sell at retail stores for $20.
The trick was bending and gluing the cardboard in such a way that it becomes strong like a piece of wood. In a video about Gafni and his cardboard bike, Gafni describes the process as a type of origami, and demonstrates how his cardboard is strong enough to support a car.
After creating the super strong cardboard, Gafni said he treats it with a substance that gives it its fireproof and waterproof properties. He says it is organic, but he hasn't said from what it is made. He did tell Reuters that he soaked a cross-section of the treated cardboard in a water tank for several months and it still kept its hardened characteristics.

More than cardboard would be, and that bike pictured isnt powered by gasoline and a combustble engine.

Best I could do for a quick in the fire bike search. No question steel trumps cardboard in any serious burn situation.

I lived/worked/went/to/school/ for a while in Israel. Just guessing, but I bet the Cardboard is imported. No Forests to chop down to make locally.
If they do make it somehow do you insist on Circumcised Cardboard? Kosher?

Well they do recycle everything THERE so perhaps they do make the stuff?
Grrrrrrrrr blew to much time looking for a Cardboard plant in Israel and after 30 pages of bike stuff I jumped to Bing because they have no search history on me and that site sucks.
