Strandbeest

After doing a bit of link following, I came across Theo Jansen's Strandbeest. These absolutely amazing walking structures are designed to be propelled by the wind.

'Over time, these skeletons have become increasingly better at surviving the elements such as storm and water and eventually I want to put these animals out in herds on beaches, so they will live their own lives'

I really hope this happens.
