Default Completely bizarre idea

If his brain was electric he could not power the Denzo mobile around a
dime

The DENSO Micro-Car is a miniature version of Toyota's first passenger
car, the 1936 Model AA sedan. Its size is astounding: 1/1000th the size
of the actual car or about the size of a grain of rice. Dimensions a
4.785 mm long, 1.73 mm wide and 1.736 mm tall.

The Micro-Car has a total of 24 parts which come in 13 different types
including body, tires, spare tire, wheels, axle, bearings, headlights,
rearlights, front bumper, rear bumper, step, number plate and emblem.


To give you an idea of how tiny the car is, you can compare it to the
width of a human hair, which is about 80 micron measurements (one
micron equals 0.001 mm). Some Micro-Car statistics a

Stainless steel bumper - 50 microns thin and 220 microns wide.
Wheels - 500 microns in diameter.
Number plate - 200 microns high and 400 microns wide.
A 0.67 mm-sized magnetic-type working motor consisting of five
different parts including a magnet and core powers the tiny car. When
supplied with 3V 20 mA of alternating current through an 18-micron-thin
copper wire, the engine can run at 600 rpm.
