The tricycle powered by a chainsaw

They say necessity is the mother of invention, but basic engineering skills and a sense of humour can prove just as fruitful.

Georgia Tech student ThisDustIn and his friends took a standard petrol powered chainsaw, removed the blade and welded a sprocket onto the clutch before fitting it to a modified children's tricycle. The result: a chainsaw-powered tricycle.

This monstrosity is neither safe nor sustainable, but one has to admire its ingenuity.
