SUGG: Papermaking Machine

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Junkyard Wars : One Thread

Picture Cathy saying: "Our challenge this week looks good on paper. Both our teams have to build papermaking machines. The team that produces the most paper (by area) in an hour will have this semi-final match all wrapped up!"

pulped vegetable matter (paper as we know it) vs beaten vegetable matter (papyrus) lots of water, lots of mess need some pretty powerful gizmos to pulverize stuff like wood

Of all your Ideas this one would be the greatest challenge.

You would almost certainly have to start with pulp already pulped. Screening, pressing and drying the stuff would be challenge enough.
