Anesthesia machine built from LEGO

While this next LEGO creation is no International Space Station, it is likelier to be confused as the real thing. In the photograph above you can see two anesthesia machines – and if you look closely, you’ll find that one of them isn’t the real thing. This amazingly accurate LEGO structure was created by Eric Harshbarger, a puzzle designer/LEGO artist, and was commissioned by GE Healthcare to build it. It is 1:1 in terms of scale but fortunately 0:1 when it comes to functionality. No, the anesthesia machine made from LEGO isn’t going to pump drugs into your system to stop the pain.

The Anesthesia machine took over 30,000 LEGO pieces to finish, and you can read up about the whole building process on Eric Harshbarger’s website.
