DIY: Grease Powered Toy Jeep

greasejeep.jpg

I have always wanted a lard controlled car toy. I dunno, just always a weird dream I’ve had. So you can imagine my joy when I saw this project. It’s about as close as I’ll ever get to living that dream. This toy jeep is powered by grease lit on fire. Was this made by a fast food employee? Probably not.

The jeep uses two Marlow SP2348 modules to transfer the heat energy into electricity. Using heatsinks and microvents, the flames heat is moderated to be light enough not to melt any of the needed items. — Andrew Dobrow
