Fun Fun Fun · 'Til the Saucer Takes the T-Bird Away . November 2006
FFFTSTTBA is a hand cranked automaton constructed entirely from paper.
The whole thing measures about 80mm by 80mm by 250mm
When the handle is turned the flying saucer rotates in an clockwisedirection whilst the
T-Bird trapped in the saucers 'tractor beam' rotates in an anticlockwise direction.
The stripes on the beam also give the illusion of an upwards motion
much like those on a barbers pole.
If you've got a pair of 3D glasses you may like to try the image below.
Note the RED lens should cover the LEFT eye.
