Can’t wait to cozy up to the new Apple iPad? Why not try your hand at constructing this handsome papercraft surrogate? Here’s links to the front and back. It may not have access to your iTunes or eBooks like the real thing, but it does share its good looks and lack of multitasking, GPS, and camera. [via MacRumors]

Paper model of expanding 6-bar Bricard linkage

05-Feb-10

YouTuber 36AM3B has lots of cool deployable-structure models in his channel, including an expanding frame (visible to the rear in this video) made from 5 of the 6-bar linkages shown here. I got interested in Bricard linkages because of this recent model from Thingiverse user raju, which purports also to be a 6-bar Bricard linkage but looks, to me, an awful like what I’ve always called a kaleidocycle or flexahedron.

Electroluminescent papercraft

29-Jan-10

Rob Ryan makes papercuts. It’s an art, and he’s good at it, and maybe it’s slightly unfair that it took the gimmick of mounting one over a piece of electroluminescent sheet for me to sit up and pay attention. Still, it looks great. Kudos, Ryan! [via Dude Craft]

Yesterday, engineer Takuo Toda, president of the Japan origami aeroplane association, set a world flight record for a traditional-origami paper plane of 26.1 seconds. He’s had longer flights, but they involved the use of scissors, tape, or other non-traditional materials. [via Neatorama]
