Pasta Bridge

Pasta bridge that i helped my lil bro build for physics.
It weights exactly 1.9 killograms (about 5 pounds) and is made of 4 boxes of lasagne and 60 gluesticks
The bridge caried 20 killograms without cracking or flexing. It could have and would have carried more but my little bro was told by the physics teacher once he got to 20 kilograms or 50 pounds he would have to talk off the wieght which hurt his grade a little bit because he got a 10:1 ratio on his bridge when he deserved by far more.

[KRASIMIRpro]

I literaly made blue prints for it and no I didnt cook it i spent 14 hrs assembling it which means cutting each piece of pasta measuring the angles and gluing them to perfection.

[pkwiththepros]

I bet it weighed more than the bricks put in it.

[rezonen94]

yhea like max 1 kg

[OngyBOY]

sorry, not trying to be a prick... i just wouldnt call it a bridge... it is a block of paster with sheer loads of glue... maybe you spent 14hrs to cook it

[Degr8n8]

Dude so sorry i forgot to reply but thats pretty good because yours carried 20 times its own weight. I ended up putting my bridge on a high ledge and decided to jump on it to see how much weight it would break at and mine broke at 150 pounds so my bridge carried 30 times it ownn weight which is pretty clsoe to your bridge's limit of 20 poinds its own weight just 50 percent better.
