Can you imagine building a section of the ITER Tokamak with Lego?
How would the vacuum vessel and the rest of the components look like with yellow, blue, red, grey and green bricks?
Andrew Clark, a designer with a vivid interest in arts and science, took his idea a step further and submitted it to Lego’s open competition for the development of new models. The communication and education potential is immense. The most ambitious energy project would reach the doorstep of schools, science museums, toy stores and end up intriguing children and adults about fusion, energy, physics and the environment.
To become part of Lego’s future production line, the designer needs at least 10,000 votes.
