Yee is an origami artist from Canada. He designs all kind of paper craft following in the tradition of Asian paper cutting.
His company Yee’s Job is located in Montreal.
This V-12 four-stroke engine was constructed entirely out of paper and it took about two years to design it.
It’s made of 1,978 pieces and weighs over 3 pounds. It actually works, producing a 13.5RPM crankshaft speed using 2 AA batteries.
Watch it move in the video.

lawl “it actually works” lol no there is a battery operating it as you stated, “it gives the illusion that it works” would be more accurate imo
