Wind Powered Robotic Sculptures

The artist, Theo Jansen, creates very lightweight kinetic sculptures, clearly based on a fine knowledge of mechanical engineering. They are beautiful and they move using wind power alone.

Theo Jansen:

"The walls between art and engineering exist only in our minds"
"Always, I strive to push the boundaries of what we know ... and what we think is possible at this time."

Please take a minute to look at this wonderful video. It makes me think anything is possible. The wind is everywhere on our planet. Let's make use of it.
