    Straw Bridge

    By on March 2, 2009 - Modified November 7, 2010

    Bridge constructed with drinking straws & spaghetti.  Pinned connections between straws with spaghetti.

    Bridge span across deck = 50cm, supported below at half span.

    Was skeptical about the bridge holding the weight of the brick but it do so easily.
