Paper Turbine & Silhouette Projector Machine

Its from paper and it moves ! Its a Paper Machine right ?

What I most love about paper its their versatilty. We can create with paper a lot of machines, well this machine its moved with heat. and his motor its made of paper. This turbine receives the hot air from below and start to move until the heat its off.

I made a Silhouette Paper Lamp or a lampshade for my kids and it was a lot of fun.

Step 2: Paper Turbine

This paper turbine works with heat. When the cold air get inside the lamp it goes up pushing the fins and making a slight movement.

I just draw a circle with a 11 cms radius, and divided in 12 pieces cutted with the shape scissors, then I gave the shape of a dome sticking the fins with adhesive tape and finnally with glue. In the center I put a Spring Press Stud where its going to spin the whole structure.

Step 3: Silhouette Projector.

I used a piece of paper of 36cms x 15 cms. I draw simple shapes with chalk ,also my 6 yo son, then cutted with my xacto knife over the ceramic tile , finnally I glued the turbine and installed in my Silhouette Lamp.

There are infinite possibilities, you can make your favourite shapes
