College students can come up with some ingenious inventions, and this is definitely one of our favorites.
Simply put, the guys at ThisDustIn took an ordinary tricycle - built for toddlers - welded some reinforcements and sprockets onto it, and then attached a chainsaw (minus the blade) on for power.
Voila! You now have the first ever chainsaw-powered tricycle.
At this point, you may be wondering what the guys did for brakes.
The answer is simple: Nothing. Flintstone power all the way.
Still, the guys were able to turn plenty of heads around campus, and now I definitely want to build one myself, even if it doesn’t have any brakes.
