DIY Ariel Atom made from Junk!
Here’s a really cool lookin’ car made from junk parts while it does 4.5 seconds 0 to 60MPH and gets 35+MPG!
This is the final result of 15 months and at least 800 hours of work in the garage. This is not counting time spent designing, ordering parts, negotiating prices, etc.
The car was built from scratch. The engine is an Acura k20a3 from an RSX. It sounds awesome.
Special thanks for the Make community for inspiring the maker spirit in me. Building stuff yourself is a much better way to be a citizen than senseless consumption.
The car has a good amount of junk (recycled stuff) in it. The stainless panels all came from old appliances. The black body panels came from an ancient kayak and an old doghouse. The throttle pedal was made entirely from salvaged parts from a dumpster at an engineering firm around town. Of course, the engine was also recycled from a crashed car.
It’s a blast to drive.
0-60: 4.5 seconds
MPG: 35+ miles per gallon
The best part: the bizarre looks I get from random strangers.

Lizard made from Soda and Bottle Caps!
Lizard made from Soda and Bottle Caps!
Check out this cool lizard, all made from soda and bottle caps.
What’s interesting is the artist behind this Lizard, Val Hunt makes all kinds of neat things with recycled material (crap). We need more artists like this who can turn something trash into work of art.
Great stuff Val, keep ‘em coming.
Reincarnated Rubbish is Val Hunt’s touring solo exhibition. Despite her use of manufactured materials from foil, take-away containers, computer parts and especially drinks can metal much of her inspiration comes from natural forms. Patterns, colours and logos aften appear on the finished, expertly crafted objects.

Chair made out of Playstation 2 Casing!
Chair made out of Playstation 2 Casing!
Here’s a really cool chair made out of Playstation 2 casings. (What a way to recycle that PS2, I have one too but it’s not up for recycling yet until I get my hands on a PS3)
Pli Design is preparing to launch next week a line of eco-friendly chairs, made entirely of recycled PlayStation 2 console casings. The stylish Reee Chairs are also designed to be recycled again and again, doubly contributing to their environmental appeal.
“The simple idea behind the Reee chair is to produce a recycled furniture product in the UK that has style, function and durability but does not compromise its environmental credentials - so our customers don’t have to compromise theirs,” said Alex Whitney, Pli’s design manager in a news release.

Skull Made from Recycled Cassette Tapes!
While the skull looks pretty normal from a far distance, you will notice that a bunch of old cassette tapes have been used for constructing the skull if you look very carefully.
This is a cool way to recycle your old cassette tapes and make a scary plastic sculpture for your home.
Just make sure to transfer all your music digitally using a cassette-to-digital converter(via OhGizmo) before trying this yourself.
