Mechanical Nature!

I was shown this video by a friend of mine and just had to share it. The creations in the video are made by a Dutch artist called Theo Jansen who builds these machines out of yellow plastic tubing similar to electrical conduit used to channel cables in the building industry. The mechanical sculptures are powered by the wind blows veins, which in-turn pneumatically move the legs with compressed or rotate mechanical cams to crate the movement depending on the sculpture. To find out more visit Theo Jansen's website here: Strand Beest
