Countless numbers of children have marvelled at how a homemade boat made of folded paper can float on water. And now engineers have created a giant origami version that can carry an adult.
Unlike
the simple toy that's constructed using a single piece of paper, they
also used glue and sticky tape to create the lake-worthy vessel, which
measures (12feet) 3.6 metres long. Engineers selected paper that of stronger and more water-resistant than
usual for the giant boat (pictured background), because the boat was to
be in the water for much longer than a normal small-scale version, held
by one of the school pupils involved in the project.
