Kinetic Sculptures by Theo Jansen

edited September 2008 in General
I wasn't really sure if this should go in entertainment or technology, but it's a little bit of both. It's actually very innovative, but too bad we don't have a section for that haha..check it out it's about a sculptor (Theo Jansen) who might be a modern day DaVinci. He makes these kinetic scultpures that "walk" using wind power.
Wind powered skeletal robot made from cheap plastic tubes and rope. Wings gather wind which is stored in bottles and when enough energy is gathered it can move on its many legs.
