Building Impossible Objects

I've been thinking about this for while now. To build an impossible object! Surely it's not impossible!
Wikipedia describes them as 'a type of optical illusion consisting of a two-dimensional figure which is instantly and subconsciously interpreted by the visual system as representing a projection of a three-dimensional object although it is not actually possible for such an object to exist (at least not in the form interpreted by the visual system).' Screw that, I'm going to build one... somehow...

Penrose Triangle and Blivet (Devil's Tuning Fork)

There must be someway to build these things. Well in fact, after gratuitous amounts of research, I found that two have already been built, sort of.
One is the impossible cube which can potentially be built if you remove two sections creating the illusion that one corner overlaps the other.

Amazingly Brian McKay and Ahmed Abas designed and actually built a Penrose Triangle sculpture in Perth, Australia. However it only works from two angles because if viewed from a different angle, the illusion is broken and the scultpure is merely a big wonky line of metal.

With these two famous impossible objects already built, I am left to construct the Blivet (which looks bloody complicated!) Well I'll have to think about it more. It's either this or breed a five-legged elephant!

Introduction

Over recent years my brain has somehow managed to produce many strange, absurd and perhaps ingenious ideas. The trouble is, in my current circumstances it is highly unlikely that any of these will be produced in actuality in the foreseeable future... or ever!
This is my reason for this blog; so that any/every idea that I think of, that has potential, can be recorded for later use.
As is the nature of ideas, this blog will have no real structure other than chronologically as I think of them (or remember to write them down). Links will be made to research/inspiration as well as picture references and my own sketches. Additionally, additions will be added (see what I did there?) along the way and will reference back to original/similar ideas.
I should just note that as the title describes, these are Potentially Awesome But Probably Stupid Ideas and the likely-hood of any of these projects being made is very low, however if you wish to contribute ideas/solutions or try tackle a project yourself, just let me know.
That's it! Time to start thinking...
