Is there anything that can't be built with Lego? In this earlier post I showed a Difference Engine made out of Lego; this post from last August showed some amazing creations as well. Since last month I have stumbled upon several more rather impressive Lego creations.

First, here is a Rubik's Cube solver made by JP Brown out of Lego:

He also made a machine that solves the Towers of Hanoi puzzle (for up to 5 Lego "disks"):

Next, a functional desk made by Eric Harshbarger out of about 35 thousand Legos:

From the same builder, how about this working Grandfather Clock:

And now this is truly impressive: a 5 meter long aircraft carrier made by Malle Hawking out of 200 thousand Lego pieces:


There were also some rather impressive Lego creations at TechEBlog, but it looks like they are having some server problems right now and I can't get into their site; if they get that problem fixed later today I will probably post some pics from that site as well.

Update: The TechEBlog is back up. Here is a sample of some of the images there:

Han Solo in suspended animation:


a working harpsichord:


a working pinball machine:


Update: I found this immense Lego creation on Wimp.com, a gigantic Lego stadium (click on the link for more images of this behemoth):
